NEW YORK – Bishop John Stowe of Lexington offered words of support and a blessing to LGBTQ Catholics alongside other advocates on a Zoom call Monday night, reminding them that “God desires a deep and intimate relationship with each of you.”
“May God, the source of life and love fill you with the job of knowing your great dignity and worth as God’s child who is created with love and filled with blessings from the first moment of your existence,” said Stowe in a video message.
The online prayer service hosted by DignityUSA – an organization that has advocated for LGBTQ Catholics for over 50 years – was attended by more than 200 LGBTQ Catholics from across the United States and Canada in honor of the start of pride month.
“May God who sustains us all in life continue to walk with you and share in your joys and sorrows while calling you to something ever greater,” Stowe continued. “May god bless your capacity to love and be loved and to share that divine presence with a broken and struggling world. May God almighty give you his peace.”
Stowe was the only U.S. bishop to address the event. Others that offered supportive messages include Mary McAleese, the former president of Ireland and a canon lawyer, and Dr. Miguel Díaz, the former U.S. Ambassador to the Holy See under the Obama administration.
To kick off the Zoom event, however, Meli Barber, the DignityUSA vice president, took aim at the Vatican Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith for its March document clarifying that blessings of same-sex unions by the Church are “not legitimate” since such unions are “not ordered to the Creator’s plan.”

They started off thumbing their nose at the Creator, I see. No surprise Bishop Stowe then made a guest appearance.
Ex-Irish president?
When did she stop being Irish?
Get back into the closet, pervs.
Stowe is a real piece of work. His appearance there is, as you say, not surprising.

The homosexual-advocate, Bishop John Stowe, is another one of the francisbishops:
Ping
NAMBLA is pleased.
Sodomy spreads (as a religion) by infiltrating and subverting existing denominations.
They have already captured "mainline" Protestantism and Reform Judaism.
Now they are working on the big one.
Bishop Stowe is the one who viciously attacked the Covington High School kid who was harassed by the Native American professional victim (and the Black Hebrews) at the Right to Life March in Washington, DC....called him a racist for wearing a MAGA hat.
