Matt attends the Catholic Newman Center at his university, where he is an altar server and part of the Campus Ministry Leadership Team. He dialogues with clergy and members of the Catholic hierarchy to advocate for the safety and respect of LGBT people in Catholic spaces, and was awarded support from the Davis-Putter Foundation and the National Organization of Gay and Lesbian Scientists for his efforts to create awareness about spiritual abuse. He currently serves as co-chair of DignityUSA's Transgender Caucus. He identifies as a transgender male with a heart for social justice, with particular interest in migrant rights and LGBT youth advocacy. He finds inspiration in the initiative and history of DignityUSA, and as a scientist he affirms that gender and sexual variance represents the wonder of God’s intricate and beautiful creation.


From Breitbart

Williamson says that though she now thinks of herself as a man, she continues to be attracted to males. “Today I identify as a gay man and before that was difficult to understand because I thought that in order to be transgender, in order to be a transgender male that I had to be attracted to females but I never have throughout my entire life.”


COMMENT

It is tempting to react to this woman's situation with an assault of insults. On closer observation, however, we find someone who embraces her Catholic faith but has emotionally drifted off into a dark abyss. While we lack any knowledge of how she arrived at this point, we do know that she has grown up in a society that has encouraged rather than challenged the dark forces that have brought her to this state in life.

Regardless of how you personally feel about Pope Francis, Obama has invited him to dine with individuals who test the limits of Catholic teaching. In Mark 2:16-17, we find a similar challenge posed to Jesus Christ. He responded with charity: “Those who are well do not need a physician,* but the sick do. I did not come to call the righteous but sinners.” Please offer up prayers for Pope Francis and all those with whom he will meet on this US sojourn.

If Obozo were to visit the Vatican would the Pope invite members of the KKK to greet Obozo.

Let me guess. The punchline involves toast, right?

On top of his many other undesirable traits, Barak Obama is just a plain ol’ asshole.

“Obama Invites Dissident Nun, Gay Bishop and Transvestite to Papal Meeting”

Isn’t that something like the American people inviting someone who wants to “fundamentally transform America” to preside in the White House?

I’m not a fan of this Pope, but why doesn’t Obola just spit in his face?

“Today I identify as a gay man...”

Lol. That is a new twist. A woman who is transgender who is a gay man.

I bet his/her gay partner will be very surprised when he finds out that she is really a woman.

This is why we need Bobby Jindal in office. He has no problem addressing our nation’s ills. He was defending Kim Davis, for instance, to the Nth degree last night during the CNN Debates.

I'm sorry, is that rhetorical?

I was going to post that message...you beat me to it. Obama simply doesn't know how big a jerk he is.

Again, why is this even an issue? We all know that Francis would love to meet with these folks. Obama is merely giving Francis what he wants.

A narcissistic President invites a dissident nun, a gay Bishop, and a transvestite to a papal meeting. How many mimes will they need to invite to screw in a lightbulb?
