SoCon Or Bust

Something is afoul in the Archdiocese of New York.

St. Francis Xavier parish is clearly a gay-friendly parish.  While outreach efforts to the homosexual community are certainly laudable, they must be accompanied by a call to conversion and to abandon a lifestyle that is immoral and disordered.  Confirming someone in their sin is not an act of charity.

Unfortunately, St. Francis Xavier doesn’t challenge them to change their lifestyle and embrace the fullness of the Gospel.  What’s more, the Archbishop of New York, Timothy Dolan, is fully aware of the situation but is sending mixed signals about whether he endorses this practice.  The video below explains this disturbing and scandalous situation very clearly.

Please pray for St. Francis Xavier parish and Archbishop Timothy Dolan.

P.S.:  Here’s a link to the CNN report discussed in the video below.  Watch the video below first.

While it is true that a wide-ranging report into the child abuse sex scandal was largely perpetrated by homosexual-acting predators on  adolescent boys (ephebophilia) – a fact which is really not highlighed in recent press reports (for obviously politically correct reasons) – the study in question makes a bizarre distinction between (presumably heterosexual) men who commit homosexual acts on children on the one hand, and men who specifically identify themselves as homosexual as a sexual identity on the other hand. 

The sexual czars of our age, you see, have insisted that identity does not necessarily identify with actions.  So, in other words, you may committ exclusively homosexual acts, but you might not be a homosexual per se.  That particular demographic is determined by how you identify yourself on a sex-survey.  What, I wonder, do we call a man who identifies himself as a heterosexual but actually engages in homosexual sex only?  Have the sex researchers come up with a name for this particular identity yet? I’m not sure if it fits any of the available sex categories. (You’ll notice, too, that those inventing these categories can’t really pin down what they mean either). 

The homosexualists are very upset that people might not accept these distinctions and simply label predators with how they behave.  Then again, if we are not offending the homosexuals, are we not offending heterosexuals who committ homosexual acts? Don’t they deserve to be protected from such harsh judgement? Should heterosexuals-who-commit-exclusively-homosexual-acts be the only unprotected group in our society? Maybe it’s time that that these heteromosexuals (for lack of a better term) have a militant lobby group as well and defend these unfair caricatures?  Or maybe, it’s not all heteromosexuals who should be condemned but only some of them who are to blame.  But if that is the case, then what is the point of making any kind of generalization?  These crimes, of course, just happened for no apparent reason, except for individual failure.  Apparently, there was no – and cannot be any - kind of sexual disorder going on whatsoever.  It’s just the way “we are.” 

You see, then, how every group can be protected — except the children.

SANTIAGO, Chile, April 12, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The Vatican’s number two official, Secretary of State Tarcisio Bertone, said today that the Church’s problems with pedophile priests have not been caused by celibacy, but by homosexuality.

“Many psychologists, many psychiatrists, have demonstrated that there is no relationship between celibacy and pedophilia,” said Bertone in a press conference in Chile today. “But many others have demonstrated, and have told me recently, that there is a relationship between homosexuality and pedophilia.”

“That is the truth, this is the problem,” added Bertone.

Noting that pedophilia is a phenomenon that “affects all categories of people, and priests to a lesser degree in percentage terms,” Bertone reportedly said that such conduct “is very grave, it is scandalous.”

Bertone added that, in order to address sex abuse cases, “the Holy Father is going to begin other initiatives, and will not fail to amaze us with new initiatives with respect to the topic we are discussing.”

Thank you New York Times! New initiatives by the Holy Father…and it’s all thanks to you!

Although the mental health establishment in the United States habitually denies any relationship between child sex abuse and homosexuality, numerous studies have shown a statistical link between the two.

A report on the U.S. sex abuse crisis, done at the behest of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops in 2004 by the John Jay College of Criminal Justice, found that the vast majority of victims in priest sex abuse cases were adolescent males.
