Actually as I understand it, Cardinal O'Connor let Rudy and all other politicians who were pro choicers know that they should NOT come up to receive the Blessed Sacrament.

Rudy never did, and even under Cardinal Egan's time at St Patrick's this remained in affect.

Heck Cardinal O'Connor had to be dead for the Clinton's to get into St Patricks.

Which is why inflected languages with gender, (ie, Greek and Hebrew), refer to God as male. God the Father.

Looks like the anti catholics have found the thread.

Exactly so and in good part why so many of us are outraged over this kind of ridiculousness, especially from someone who seemingly attended Seminary, learned his own Latin, Greek, Hebrew, etal.

BINGO

Nothing sez “Bite me” quite like standing up in a service, yelling “Heretic” and storming out.

A few years back, I accompanied our youth to a servanthood week in D.C., where we worked at Martha’s Table all week. We attended worship that Sunday at the National Cathedral. It happened to be Pentecost that Sunday and the priest spoke of the Holy Spirit as she. When I asked about it, my pastor said that the Greek could be translated that way, with the Holy Spirit being feminine. I wonder if any of the pastors on board here would care to comment....

A month or two ago a substitute priest preformed our 9:30am mass. He came off like a flamboyant homosexual. All the stereotypical mannerisms; “cute” stories, playing around, etc. It was what I imagine being in a trendy hair salon in San Francisco is like. At one point he tried to make everyone sing “all you need is love...’you know, from the 60’s.’ Being on candid camera came to mind.

Emailed the Bishops office. After an exchange of emails they seemed to conclude they he will not be substituting again. I gave up pressing the issue when I was having to say...”hello morons...there is a extremely good chance you have a homosexual in the Church!”

To top this all off we lost our last priest to homosexual allegations which were proven true. But he was not as flamboyant as the substitute.

You wrote:

“After all, when men like this goofball stands up as “alter christus” and claims to be an intermediary between God and man, then call the Holy Spirit a woman and look longingly at the little altar girl, this is one ordained by headquarters, not you.”

What evidence do you have that he “look longingly at the little altar girl”?

“Clothed in his garb of distinction, performing the Mass, giving some wafer & wine to once again openly crucify the Son of Glory...”

Christ can’t be crucified again in the Mass.

Stooping to completely things up like this says quite a bit about a poster.

“Actually as I understand it, Cardinal O’Connor let Rudy and all other politicians who were pro choicers know that they should NOT come up to receive the Blessed Sacrament.”

It sounds familiar to me, but I can’t remember if it was Cardinal O’Connor or Cardinal Eagan, but I like it, and it should always be done.

I hope we get the same results.

Yes, he should be reported. Too bad you didn’t bring rotten tomatoes to Mass. I have heard of parishioners standing and turning their backs to priests who are offensive, but do not have to deal with this. uck. Guy should be an Episcopalian.

Do we have any Catholic clerics who are FReepers. If so, I hope someone will inform them about this thread by Freep Mail.

Besides your Bishop, also write a letter (or call) to the Apostolic Nuncio, Pietro Sambi. Request that he advise the Pope that this heretic is still running around misleading the faithful:

They are agenda-driven and their agenda is their “witness”.

Contacting Raymond is also a good idea!

But if the Bishop’s office doesn’t want to investigate a possible homosexual priest, then they deserve these abuse cases. It’s really tragic and infuriating!
