[Catholic Caucus] Polish Jesuit Calls on Pope To Uphold MarriageThe Pope's statements on the sacrament of marriage have been rock solid. His actions ... not so much.As the Synod on Synodality in Rome races towards a debate on blessing homosexuality, a Polish Jesuit is calling on Pope Francis to offer clarity, not confusion. In a recent essay, Fr. Dariusz Kowalczyk addressed the prevalence of what he calls “homoheresy” invading dialogue and discussion within the hierarchy of the Catholic Church. The Polish Jesuit wrote, “Among the various problems that the Church is currently experiencing, the most disturbing is — in my...

Student government refuses to condemnLast Thursday, an unauthorized sign with the words, “There is Queer Blood on Homophobic Hands,” was placed outside DeBartolo Hall and widely shared accross social media. The sign contained many articles from the Irish Rover and the Observer which reflect Catholic doctrine regarding human sexuality, implying that the authors of these were responsible for the deaths of “queer” people nationwide. Most shockingly, the sign’s message was painted in blood red, and the names of the articles’ writers were all circled in blood-red paint, drawing hostile attention to individual members of the Notre Dame community. Among the...

Vatican gay sex stings are symptoms of the homoheresy The scandal of homosexual clerics preying on young males and the latest gay sex stings in the Vatican are but symptoms of the homoheresy. The depraved lifestyle of gay priests expresses their rejection of Church teaching on the intrinsic evil of homosexual relations. In 2007, Newsweek ran a story by Vaticanista Ed Pentin on Msgr. Tommaso Stenico, videotaped soliciting a male youth in Rome for sex. The young man related telling the monsignor he was "about to commit something with me that is a sin in the eyes of God." The...

The Sacramento Bee carried a misleading article Franciscan priests leaving St. Francis church in midtown Sacramento written according to McClatchy's bent standard of "truth". St. Francis has been and is likely to remain the center of anti-Catholic, homosexualist fury in Sacramento, provincial equivalent of Most Holy Redeemer in the very City of St. Francis, regardless of anything Sacramento Bishop Jaime Soto can do. Mere authority can do very little to appeal to the benevolent Christian commonweal when the underground corps of a spiritual fifth column is ruthlessly dedicated to infiltrating its death-loving, anti-life animus into the Church. In the mid-1970s,...

 Msgr. Krzystof Charamsa evidently thought that he was advancing the homosexual cause by coming out as gay on the eve of the Synod of Bishops. I think he miscalculated badly.  The Vatican quickly dismissed Msgr. Charamsa from his post at the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF). He had anticipated that, and said he was willing to accept it for the good of the cause. "I’m prepared to pay the consequences, but it’s time the Church opened its eyes, and realized that offering gay believers total abstinence from a life of love is inhuman." Sure, the Polish priest captured...

On Monday, Michael Eric Dyson appeared on The ED Show on MSNBC, this time hosted by Joy Reid. He was introduced as someone knowledgeable in American history and Biblical theology. Dyson, a professor at Georgetown, then insinuated that the Bible's teaching regarding loving Jesus is “interestingly homoerotic.” Dyson said: Look through the Bible, there's a lot of interesting things. The same men who sat up in a church of all men -- 'I put my God, Jesus over all women, I love Him more than I love her!' -- Hmmm... do you really? That sounds interestingly homoerotic to people who...

KRAKOW, February 26, 2013, (LifeSiteNews.com) - A recent paper by a Ph.D. priest from Poland has been circling the globe in recent weeks and given heightened prominence by the recent revelations of a Vatican inquiry into a “gay mafia” inside the Vatican. “Standing with the Pope against homoheresy,” was written in late 2012 by Fr. Dariusz Oko, Ph.D., a priest of the Archdiocese of Krakow and Assistant Professor at the John Paul II Pontifical University in Krakow. Fr. Oko notes that his discovery of a “huge homosexual underground in the Church” came from his work in philosophical criticism of homosexual...

With Pope Benedict XVI's resignation drawing closer, the struggle for power in the Vatican has gotten underway in earnest. The church badly needs to reform itself, but with Ratzinger lurking in the shadows, will it be able to? Naked and goaded viciously by hornets and wasps, his blood sucked by loathsome worms. Such was the fate of a pope in Dante's "Divine Comedy" who "by his cowardice made the great refusal." Benedict XVI, in short, knew what could happen to one who rebelled against a centuries-old tradition in a church in which suffering is far from foreign. But he also...
