I'm sorry Father, but I disagree with your definition of orthodoxy.
Openly supporting the homosexual agenda, Fr. James Martin, as reported in the National Catholic Register and LifeSiteNews continually report, is continuing what I can see at best as works of confusion.
He recently said, “By excluding LGBT people, you are breaking up God’s family; you are tearing apart the Body of Christ."
Also on being asked to give a pro-homsexual speech at an Atlanta parish he added,
In answer, as I completely disagree with him, three things:
1. These two images - God is not afraid to confront sin. He is a God of love, but is also one of justice and hatred for sin.
2. Homosexuality is sin. See Sodom and Gomorrah.
Where else do we get the word "sodomy"?
3. I am by no means encouraging hatred. Love the sinner, hate the sin. But Fr. Martin has gone too far. Simply read the Catechism, read the Old Testament, especially Deuteronomy 7. God wanted his people to have no part in idolatry; they were to completely destroy and remains of idol worship among them.
Father, I don't now where you are coming from and why you support this agenda so much, but stand with the Catholic tradition and moral law. Don't be an enabler for those who want to destroy the Church and society from within. Again, I am not encouraging hatred of persons, that is what repentance and the Sacrament of Reconciliation are for. We are all sinners. Don't, however, try to deny what God has unfailingly taught for all of salvation history.

“The irony: An archbishop, the legitimate ordinary of the archdiocese, invites a priest in good standing, who has stated he is not challenging church teaching, to deliver a lecture on welcome that had been approved by the Vatican. Who is orthodox here?”

Excellent thoughts, James!
