Cardinal Sean O'Malley: Where is your opposition to sodomy?

As noted here, "Immaculate Heart of Mary School of Still River, MA has withdrawn its marching band and float of Saint Patrick from this year’s Saint Patrick’s Day Parade after learning that a small homosexual activist group will be allowed to march while publicly identifying its homosexuality.

The school is compelled by the teachings of the Catholic Church to pull out. According to the Principal, Brother Thomas Dalton, 'Catholics are forbidden to sponsor or even participate in an event which openly promotes unnatural and immoral behavior. The Church will never accept nor condone same sex marriage and the homosexual life style.'

For 25 years the school has participated in the parade dedicated to Saint Patrick and believes that to have a float with his representation leading a group openly promoting and proud of its homosexual identity would draw down the ire of this great patron of the Boston Archdiocese. 'Saint Patrick stands with Saint Paul in condemning the sin of sodomy,' stated Brother Dalton. 'The name of Saint Patrick should be dropped from the parade as he would have nothing to do with the likes of it today.'

Cardinal Bernard Law was ousted from Boston in large part because of his poor handling of the sex abuse scandals. He was replaced by O’Malley, who may be more subtle and better at dodging trouble, but he also fails to understand the importance of church teachings on sexual sin.

A few bad cardinals, just like a few “bad cops” should easily be ousted from their organizations. That they remain is a sign that the organization is incompetent.

the writer choose ‘pull out’ over ‘withdraw’ for a reason

it’s so funny... not serious... don’t worry about the message, just chuckle and move on
