[Catholic Caucus] Jesuit Homosexualist Claims Support at Highest Levels
Church Militant ^ | August 4, 2017 | Rodney Pelletier

Posted on 08/04/2017 3:21:19 PM PDT by ebb tide

James Martin, the sodomy-promoting Jesuit priest, is maintaining his constant promotion and support of sodomy, sex outside of marriage, transgenderism and progressive-liberal politics is supported by his Jesuit superior and confreres, as well as "several cardinals and bishops, both publicly and privately."

In a series of tweets, Martin also claims "my prayer tells me that this is the right thing to do, that it's important and that it's a work of mercy." He also accuses critics who call out his endorsement of sodomy as being "uncomfortable with their own complex sexuality."


In his new book, Building a Bridge: How the Catholic Church and the LGBT Community Can Enter Into a Relationship of Respect, Compassion, and Sensitivity, Martin continues the homosexualist mantra of denying Catholic Church teaching on human sexuality and natural law by telling homosexuals and so-called transgenders that God created them that way.

Martin has claimed the proscriptions listed in the Old Testament and those written by St. Paul in the New Testament "have to be understood in the historical context," adding that in the times of the Old Testament "they didn't understand the phenomenon of homosexuality and bi-sexuality as we do today."

He slammed Church teaching, calling homosexual acts "objectively disordered," saying, "[F]or most LGBT people it is deeply offensive. Imagine being told that a deep part of you, the part that feels love, is disordered."

[F]or most LGBT people it is deeply offensive. Imagine being told that a deep part of you, the part that feels love, is disordered.Tweet

Martin's book was also supported by dissidents like Cdl. Joseph Tobin of Newark, Bp. Robert McElroy of San Diego and New Ways Ministries, an organization condemned by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and the Vatican.

In 2016, Martin accepted the Bridge Building award from New Ways Ministries "in recognition of his ministry of communication, which has helped to expand the dialogue on LGBT issues in the Catholic Church."

Run away. The worst people I have interacted with over my long life have been those who prattled about their “complexity” and “nuance.”

Those people turned out to be liars, cheats and the worst kind of hypocrites all to justify their own character flaws.

This is EXACTLY what destroyed the Episcopal church in the US. I know it’s your view that that process was inevitable because the original premise was itself heresy - but I’m not sure you can be so confident, any more, that it won’t happen to you.

Here we go... Jesus said there would be a vicious fight for His inheritence... that gays are out, they should live with it just like I can live with not being Bill Gate’s god son (thank goodness).

God made humans male and female. They need to study their Catechism!

Catechism of the Catholic Church

2357 Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the same sex. It has taken a great variety of forms through the centuries and in different cultures. Its psychological genesis remains largely unexplained. Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity, tradition has always declared that "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered." They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved.

I don’t believe Pope Francis is a homosexual. I do believe he’s an atheist, so he doesn’t give a damn about sexual morality. As for Fr. James Martin, SJ...having seen him interviewed, and knowing his obsession is promoting homosexual behavior, there’s not a doubt in my mind that his inclination is homosexual.

Fr. James Martin, SJ’s, reasons that God made people gay, so being gay must be good. OK, so babies born with spina bifida should not have that birth defect repaired? People who have Type I diabetes — much more dangerous than Type II diabetes, and not caused by behavior — should not take insulin injections? Is Fr. Martin a child?

Martin also claims "my prayer tells me that this is the right thing to do, that it's important and that it's a work of mercy."

Does the breath of the voice you hear in your prayers smell of sulfur, Mr. Martin?

>> Is Fr. Martin a child?

No, Fr. Martin is simply a homosexual heretic who, before the VC-II debacle, would have been summarily defrocked. Such evil people who, under the fraudulent Pope, are scandalizing the faithful will, upon their demise, pay a bitter price for their perfidy.

“...there’s no doubt in my mind that his inclination is homosexual.”

My thought exactly, except I don’t think it’s merely an inclination.
