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.

McElroy passingf himself off as a Catholic Bishop is a form of charlatanism, consumer fraud: he's an adulterated product, an impostor, a fake, as respectable as a medical quack.

If we could just get bishops who are Catholic...

What a mess. It can't go on. Come, Lord Jesus.

CCC 2357 is unambiguous ~ Bishop McElroy has excommunicated himself [latae sententiae] by his heresy, and his apostasy ~ I will sign the petition!
