Diocesan school officials unapologetic: "This is our attitude. Our school is inclusive, everyone is welcome"
GREAT FALLS, Mont. (ChurchMilitant.com) - A faithful priest is being attacked over his objection to a gay couple being featured on a diocesan school fundraiser.
n response to the Billings Catholic School Foundation invitation showing a "married" homosexual couple as the event chairs, Fr. Ryan Erlenbush, the pastor of Corpus Christi Catholic parish in Great Falls, posted a condemnation on his personal Facebook page. The post has since been removed but is reported to have said:
You know a Catholic school has lost its way when a prominent homosexual couple is advertized [sic] as the chairs for the annual fundraiser. Billings Catholic schools have really let us down with the Mayfair invitation this year. Why would any Catholic (indeed, any Christian) attend or donate to Mayfair 2018? What does a Catholic school have to do before people say enough and take their kids (and their money) elsewhere? I'm an alumnus of the Billings Catholic schools, and I say, enough.
Various reports noted that responses were roughly split between those supporting Fr. Erlenbush's call to withhold donations, and others condemning his post.
The Mayfair Gala Dinner and Auction is Billings Catholic School Foundation's (BCSF) largest fundraiser of the year. The BCSF is the fundraising arm of the Billings Catholic schools, and its website claims it is "dedicated to fostering the continued success and enrichment of the Billings Catholic Schools by providing and increasing an endowment and overseeing all fundraising efforts to ensure long and short-term financial stability and support

“Faithful” to what? Certainly not the word of God, who explicitly said neither homosexuals nor those who submit to homosexuals are among His church nor will they be in heaven. Sexual immorality and unnatural acts are, in fact, a big deal to our Creator. He who has an ear, let him hear.
“Faithful Montana Priest Blasted for Comments on Homosexuality”.
Who is doing the ‘blasting’? I can make a guess...
I believe it has been said that when orthodoxy become optional it will eventually be proscribed.
And then there’s this couple, in a small town parish in the center of Montana.
I used to live in this town and people think they are good Catholics because they “do good”.

I knew the Catholic Church had lost its way when they moved homosexual priests around that they knew were child molesters instead of assisting their prosecution and expelling them from the priesthood.
Church leaders who do not stand up, first and foremost, for the Word of God are poor leaders, and will be judged harshly when all is said and done. God will prevail. He will not be mocked. And He will not turn a blind eye to those who oppose or disobey Him. The school administrators and board of directors need to pull their heads out of their rectums and return to honoring God in their words, actions and decisions.
How dare anyone worship any God other than the gummit. He will soon be fired for heresy.
Whither the RCC when all of the actual Catholics are purged from its midst?
Sixth Commandment...not the slightest bit of ambiguity there.
And here I thought God's position on homosexuality was that they should be burned to death by the City full.
So he's the one who's checked for rectal syphilis.
There must be e-mail list, School, Parish, or Diocesan websites, bulletins, etc.
And simply note:
"For those at the School who may have missed it:
Romans 1:24-28
24 Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves,
25 because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever! Amen.
26 For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. Their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural,
27 and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in their own persons the due penalty for their error.
28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a base mind and to improper conduct."
insane....my church is lost...it wants to be “popular” and rich..
You know it’s the end times when the Church turns evil. God help us...
looks like that pic was taken at the Coeur d Alene resort.
your grandparents would be devastated to know you turned out this way...
go to Seattle or Portland...leave the small towns alone where decent people want to live...
you ever been up to Slippery Ann?
Maybe they’re on rotation with all the various side pieces.
