Pro-Gay Fr. James Martin Downplays Abuse of Seminarians: McCarrick an ‘Outlier’

NEW YORK, August 16, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – Vatican advisor and pro-homosexual Jesuit priest Fr. James Martin claimed in an interview that homosexual sex-abuse of seminarians is not “rampant” in the Church.

Commenting on revelations that ex-Cardinal Theodore McCarrick had groomed and sexually molested young seminarians, PBS anchorman John Yang asked the Jesuit priest if this kind of abuse was a problem in the Church.

“Do you think there is more to this in the Church with adult seminarians?” Yang asked.

“No, I don’t,” said Fr. Martin. “I think that Cardinal McCarrick’s case is really extraordinary. The idea that he would have a house on the Jersey Shore and…bring people there. I think that’s very unusual.”

“I think, as in any organization, there are abuses of power and even improper sexual advances,” the priest continued. “But I don’t think that this is rampant, and I think his case is really kind of an outlier.”

Pro-homosexuality means pro-sin. He serves Satan, not God.

Next question.

We all knew Jaimie Girl would approve of man/boy abuse.

Sides are being drawn.
