THE CLEAR RPONSE OF A PRIT TO FR. JAM MART FOR SUPPORTG 'GAY PRI'

" The Mother Church of the Plist Fathers, Sat Pl the Apostle New York Cy, has a notor gay mistry lled Out at Sat Pl.

Do God posively will that some people posss and act upon homosexual sir as their natural, rrectly orred sexualy? Father, when you tweeted “Pri Month” greetgs to your “LGBTQ iends, ” urgg them to be “proud” of their “God-given digny” and “gifts” and their “place the world, ” did you mean to suate that homosexualy is a gift om God and th somethg to embrace?

In fact, prohibg homosexual acts (as the Church do) would be immoral, bee would prevent people om beg who God ma them to be and dog what God wants them to do. Then would make sense to advote for the -stigmatizatn of homosexualy and to enurage those wh SSA to fully actualize their attractns as a liftyle.

FR. JAM MART’S BIG GAY INTERVIEW

That would jibe wh, for example, your stated wish to a gay man that “ ten years you will be able to kiss your partner… soon to be your hband” church. Is the full package: nmnatn of homosexual acts as disorred and trsilly immoral, affirmatn that our sexual faculti are orred toward maral love between a man and a woman, a basic biblil anthropology of sexual difference and plementary, and so on?

This would make sense of your claim that “for a teachg to be really thorative is expected that will be received by the people of God, ” but that Catholic teachg on homosexualy hasn’t been “received” by the “LGBT muny.

Or maybe you’re holdg on to a mental rervatn which the “Church teachg” to which you claim assent is actually what you thk Church teachg should be, or what you thk ’s gog to be—once the Church fally sheds all s old homophobic hangups. Bee when you say that you “will not challenge” Church teachg on homosexualy and even lay out that teachg imprsive tail, most people n figure out that this isn’t the same as sayg you agree wh , that you endorse and promote , and that you aren’t subtly— ways that don’t rise to the level of a “challenge”—workg to change .
