In 1993, then-Cardinal John O’Connor, facing gay protesters who staged a sit-in during the parade, vowed that he “could never even be perceived as compromising Catholic teaching” by entertaining their admission as an identifiable group in the event. “Neither respectability nor political correctness is worth one comma in the Apostles’ Creed,” O’Connor declared in his homily at a Mass for St. Patrick’s Day that year.

A little over 20 years ago. How much has changed in such a short period. Is there a bishop in America who would dare to utter these words today in the current climate?

Given his response to Michael Sam’s announcement a few months ago, he’ll probably be on the reviewing stand, clapping and cheering “Bravo!”.

And some people think the city isn’t due for another 9/11.

God will not be mocked. He is in control. This is a damned disgrace!

Cardinal Dolan, a refresher on the four stages of apostasy:

Outrage > Tolerance > Acceptance > Practice

The Roman Catholic Church, like most of the Protestant churches, has now moved from Tolerance to firmly in the Acceptance stage. And the sad part is there’s no way Dolan would have made the announcement without the OK of The Vatican, and I mean the Pope. One of the last Christian bulwarks is crumbling.

Our Lord speaking to St. Catherine:

“They [the homosexuals] not only fail from resisting the weakness [of fallen human nature] .... but they do even worse when they commit the cursed sin against nature. Like the blind and stupid, having dimmed the light of their understanding, they do not recognize the disease and misery in which they find themselves. For this not only causes Me nausea, but is disgusting even to the devils themselves whom these depraved creatures have chosen as their lords.

For Me this sin against nature is so abominable that for it alone five cities were destroyed by virtue of the judgment of My Divine Justice, which could no longer bear their iniquity ....

It is disgusting to the devils not because evil displeases them or because they find pleasure in good, but rather because their nature is angelic and flees upon seeing such a repulsive sin being committed. For while certainly it is the devil that first strikes the sinner with the poisoned arrow of concupiscence, nonetheless when a man actually carries out such a sinful act, the devil goes away.”

(St. Catherine of Siena, El diálogo,
in Obras de Santa Catalina de Siena, Madrid: BAC, 1991, p. 292)

Dolan most certainly does not represent The Church.

Hope the gays carry a sign with the names of every homosexual priest who was arrested or defrocked because they literally ruined the reputation of the Catholic church.
