Questions surround Newark's ongoing pro-gay push

NEWARK, N.J. (ChurchMilitant.com) - Cardinal Joseph Tobin's new senior associate for operations in the archdiocese of Newark is a devoted LGBTQ leader.

Originally from Houston, Texas, Sean Ryan is a consultant for McKinsey & Company, who in October began an assignment with the archdiocese as the cardinal's senior associate for operations.

In his LinkedIn profile, Ryan describes himself as an "[a]ctive leader in McKinsey's LGBTQ network, GLAM, with national-level leadership in LGBTQ and other diversity recruiting."

The archdiocese does not currently have any listing for Sean Ryan on its website.

Church Militant reached out to the archdiocese for clarifications regarding the reason for the hire, details of the position, Ryan's absence from the website and whether the archdiocese affirmed his LGBTQ advocacy.

A spokeswoman responded: "Individuals serving the Archdiocese of Newark are from diverse communities including a broad spectrum of ethnic, social, and economic backgrounds. That should not be misinterpreted as an overall endorsement of any political or social agenda, but rather a sign to simply welcome all of God's children to our Church."

I believe, personally, that the Catholic Church is the true church of Jesus of Nazareth, but at the same time I really am very glad that I am not a Catholic.

“should not be misinterpreted as an overall endorsement of any political or social agenda,’

yeah, right. BS.

Tell that to the traditionally minded Catholics who have been marginalized in the archdiocese. Cardinal Tobin has made it quite clear that those who want the Latin Mass or a traditional form of the new Mass are not welcomed and will not be tolerated. All welcomed? Not by a long shot!

We are seeing the deliberate homosexualizing of the Church.

The archdiocese lies to cover its own sin.

the homosexual agenda began in earnest back in the 60's....before then, you would have homosexuals because they do congregate where other young men gather (schools, boy scouts,etc)

its like our military.....far too many obama wimps in top leadership....

Many of our Bishops have made themselves successors to Judas Iscariot ...

[[We are seeing the deliberate homosexualizing of the Church.]]

Satan is making rapid inroads into the Church- and pretty soon it will be against the law to oppose Him and His gay agenda- considered ‘hate crimes’-

Disgusting, painful and alienating. Tobin should have the guts to explain openly this appointment and not hide behind a “spokesman”. The only people who feel good about this appointment are the predatory, criminal homosexual priests that are still lurking and now know they are being protected by this odd shepherd.

well, “all” except traditional Catholics

Are any of us here at free republic tired of all this faggot crap with the Catholic Church?

I could tell I’m sick and tired of it ! we don’t want to hear about it!

Take all your gay crap and get lost!

The left is in the middle of their long march—through any and all large institutions.

They turn these institutions into bloated zombies—that eventually explode in a bloody mess.

Find an SSPX or FSSP or Institute of Christ the King (IKC) chapel if at all available. We have families that drive for hours to mass.
