As archbishop of Atlanta, Gregory has maintained Bernardin’s program of gay promotion and propaganda in the Church. Gregory, example, has defended the writings and speeches of Fr. James Martin, a Jesuit who openly calls for the Church to adjust herself to the demands of the “LGBT community.”
In 2010, Fr. Juan Areiza, one of Gregory’s priests, got entangled in a gay scandal exposed by CBS Atlanta. Areiza and another priest had fastened their lustful affections upon a gay bar patron named Dale Chappell, who complained to CBS Atlanta that the two priests “conspired together to just to use me for sex.”
“Text messages and pictures Chappell provided to CBS Atlanta News confirm his allegations of these homosexual relationships, including dozens of texts with Areiza,” reported the station. “‘Here’s one that says, ‘Miss you and love you,’ Chappell showed us.”
Where is Areiza today? He is the pastor at St. Pius X parish in Conyers, Georgia, appointed to that position by Wilton Gregory in June of this year.
All of this makes Gregory’s famous comment, made as the 2002 abuse scandal erupted, that “It’s an ongoing struggle to make sure the Catholic priesthood is not dominated by homosexual men” all the stranger. Why he made that comment, given his complicity in the Gaying of the Church, remains a mystery. He was and is a member of a powerful liberal ideological faction that normalized homosexuals in the priesthood and hierarchy.
I bring Gregory up because I learned this week from a Church insider that Gregory is “under consideration” to succeed Donald Wuerl in Washington, D.C. Out of conservative backlash to the louche and leftist New Jersey Cardinal Joseph Tobin, I am told, aides to Francis have been scrambling to consider candidates less radioactive than Tobin, who remains a favorite of the pope.

Pope Frank does love his homosexuals.
He does indeed. The question is why. My guess is that he likes them for the same reason the KGB recruited them disproportionately back in the day. They’re compromised, susceptible to blackmail, accustomed to leading double lives, being two-faced, etc... and thus can be effectively used and controlled. He doesn’t want good, independent, strong men in power. They’d be more likely to challenge, oppose or disobey him.
Makes sense. They are also of dubious orthodoxy, like their boss.
Gregory is a heretic. Would love to see him out of Atlanta. I know a number of good and faithful priest that have come under his wrath because they do not support his heretical agenda.

He Poops, but he is no Pope, except in name only. Frank is evil. God will deal with him and Frankie will not be liking it. It is hot where he is going.
I am not Catholic but I am not sure the Catholic Church can survive this. It seems to be never ending. My brother converted for his wife when they married 36 years ago. As I have sat in the pews and watch his 6 kids get married I can’t help but look at the priests suspiciously. It is a sad state of affairs.
