Father James Martin SJ Promotes Homosexuality, Again
The Eponymous Flower ^ | 08/22/2010 | Tancred

Posted on 08/22/2010 7:21:23 PM PDT by 0beron

We pointed out that it was strange that a very liberal parish in Minnesota was promoting[url=http://eponymousflower.blogspot.com/2010/01/fw-re-father-ss-new-years-gay-book-list.html]heretical books[/url] by people like America's Father James Martin SJ and others, like one priest who advocates getting naked with other men on a retreat.

Father Martin had previously made similar comments,[url=http://eponymousflower.blogspot.com/2010/06/james-martin-sj-wants-more-homosexuals.html] when he said he wanted more homosexuals in the priesthood[/url], thus displaying his penchant for homosexuality and backpedaled on those comments, but is back again as he levels his guns on radio talk-show hostess Laura Schlesinger, who recently resigned from her position owing to accusations about [i]racial insensitivity.[/i]

Another one of America's editors was forced to resign a few years ago. This forces a new and interesting question, is there anyone in the Jesuit Order you can trust to accurately represent the Catholic Church's teachings on a widely disseminated public platform like the decrepit but allegedly Catholic America Magazine?

Here he writes:

[blockquote] Dr. Laura Schlessinger's announcement yesterday that she is quitting her radio show called to mind this clever response to her occasional fundamentalist readings of the Old Testament, particularly when it came to homosexuality. This letter, which has been widely circulated on the web since it first appeared in 2000 (despite difficulties in ascertaining its origin) is a healthy antidote to Scriptural literalism of any sort. [/blockquote]

...he said he wanted more homosexuals in the priesthood...

I can't believe this idiot said this with all the lawsuits the Catholic Church has had to endure over the past decade.

Why hasn't the Church Hierarchy defrocked Father James Martin SJ yet?

This is a public scandal!

If he doesn’t agree with the Catholic church or the teachings of Christianity, he should leave and find another job.

The clown should start his own church instead of thinking the church should change to what he wants. These clowns are fools.

It was great years ago when the Jesuits were Catholic.

Why couldn’t you put the right title here?

The title from your blog is: “Father Martin SJ at America Promotes Homosexuality, Again.”

(”At America (magazine)” says all that needs to be said)

There are a couple of decent Jesuits out there. Not many.

But America (rag) says all that needs to be said.

I went to a Jesuit Univ. A rough guess is that at least 1/3 of Jesuits now are peter-puffers.
