NEW YORK (AP) — Even as Catholic dogma continues to repudiate same-sex marriage and gender transition, one of the most prominent religious orders in the United States — the Jesuits — is strengthening a unique outreach program for LGBTQ+ Catholics.

The initiative — fittingly called Outreach — was founded two years ago by the Rev. James Martin, a Jesuit who is one of the country’s most prominent advocates for greater LGBTQ+ inclusion in the Catholic Church.

Outreach, a ministry of the Jesuit magazine America, sponsored conferences in New York City in 2022 and 2023, and last year launched a multifaceted website with news, essays and information about Catholic LGBTQ+ resources and events.

On Tuesday, there was another milestone for Outreach — the appointment of journalist and author Michael O’Loughlin as its first executive director.

LGBTQ+ Catholics

They have infiltrated everywhere. Renamed everything.

Fours high school and 4 years college, enough said. The Jesuits are a militaristic organization. They are headed by the Superior General. Jesuits swear allegiance to the Superior General not the pope who last time I checked is also a Jesuit. Heaven help us.

They certainly Sodomized thousands of Boys in Richard, Cardinal Cushing’s Boston and surrounding suburbs in the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s,
So many lives destroyed by the faggots from St John’s in Brighton, MA.
Encountered them again in San Diego in the late 70’s.
Foul, disgusting excuses for Human Beings,
I have loved my Catholic faith all of my life, I will not attend Mass.
I am angry and want to know where my tithe goes.
Catholic Charities should be shut down!!!
GRRRRR

I haven’t been to Mass much since they caved to the authorities during CoVID. I pray all the time and say Rosaries a lot, especially since my son passed away last summer. I’ll go back someday when my grief lessens a bit. I still consider myself a strong Catholic, but my beloved Church is becoming unrecognizable.

Why?

“The Jesuits are also known as the “pointy-headed” order that does a lot of the teaching.”

True.... I went to Holy Cross Junior College ND Ind. in the early 80’s and classes were almost exclusively taught by Jesuit brothers. An odd lot indeed.

What about Confession? What do these priests expect to hear from these degenerates in the confessional?

Interesting question. Perhaps normal people must confess their homophobia or something.

Made me wish I had been born in a different time.

Well, other things might do that, too; but this more than most.

The Nazis had a fondness for the Jesuits.
