God Is On Your Side: A Statement from Catholic Bishops on Protecting LGBT Youth

Tyler Clementi ^ | January 26, 2021 | Cardinal Joseph W. Tobin

[Saint Athanasius]

As Catholic Bishops in the United States, we join with the Tyler Clementi Foundation in standing up for at-risk LGBT youth in our country.

As we see in the Gospels, Jesus Christ taught love, mercy and welcome for all people, especially for those who felt persecuted or marginalized in any way; and the Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches that LGBT people are to be treated with “respect, compassion and sensitivity.”

All people of goodwill should help, support, and defend LGBT youth; who attempt suicide at much higher rates than their straight counterparts; who are often homeless because of families who reject them; who are rejected, bullied and harassed; and who are the target of violent acts at alarming rates.

The Catholic Church values the God-given dignity of all human life and we take this opportunity to say to our LGBT friends, especially young people, that we stand with you and oppose any form of violence, bullying or harassment directed at you.

Most of all, know that God created you, God loves you and God is on your side,

[Saint Athanasius]

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle.

Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil.

May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.

Amen.

Protect LGBT youth from . . . what? LGBT "adults"? LGBT priests and Bishops? Being apprised of their lack of compliance with the Word of God and its lack of tolerance of sexual immorality?

⁹Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and princes of the house of Israel, that abhor judgment, and pervert all equity. 
¹⁰They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity. 
¹¹The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon the LORD, and say, Is not the LORD among us? none evil can come upon us. 
¹²Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of the forest (Micah 3:9-12 AV; bolding added for emphasis).

They will answer for this demonaical and avaricious earthly conduct as representing the Maker Who gave the EllGeeBeeTees their bodies that they were to receive and use as designed with humble gratitude and joy, not reject and repurpose.
