CATHOLIC CATECHISM
Chastity and homosexuality
“2357 Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the same sex. It has taken a great variety of forms through the centuries and in different cultures. Its psychological genesis remains largely unexplained. Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity,141 tradition has always declared that “homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered.”142 They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved”.
The above is the official teaching of the RC Church on homosexuality.
The RCC teaches that homosexuality is a serious “disorder” and that homosexual acts are “acts of grave depravity”.
The RCC also insists that most of its priests have to be celibate and chaste.
One of the primary functions of an RC bishop is to teach the RCC faith- welcome or unwelcome
Why then are more and more RC bishops ordaining men suffering from intrinsic disorders and performing acts of grave depravity on each other and others?
Possible reasons:
1. These bishops do not accept the teachings of the Catechism. This begs the question: Should these men not be dismissed immediately from the office of bishop?
2. These bishops are homosexuals themselves – either acting out or not acting out. And their personal inclinations and situations cloud their thinking and actions
3. These bishops themselves have been homosexually active since their time in seminary and have been active homosexual men as seminarians, priests and bishops. An example is ex cardinal Ted Mc Carrick.
4. The men these bishops are now ordaining have been or are the sexual partners of the ordaining bishops.
5. The ordinands themselves have been the sexual partners of seminarians, priests and bishops. They know too much about so many other clerics that the best way to keep them quite is to ordain them.
“The best way to solve a difficult problem is to ordain it”
6. Have some bishops been forced to ordain a man because the man is a former partner of the ordaining bishop and the bishop is being blackmailed to ordain him?
THE EFFECTS
As a result of all of this the priesthood is gradually becoming an almost exclusively gay profession.
And not only that. The priesthood / episcopate is becoming a sexually active gay profession.
THE EFFECT ON PRAYER AND SPIRITUALITY
If you are constantly sexually active and especially engaging in acts like sadomachism, assault, rape, and other sexual extremes, is it not nearly impossible to have a spirituality and to pray?
And how can the priest integrate the spiritual and prayerful life of a priest with sexual depravity and extremism?
The two cannot exist side by side.
“No man can serve two masters”
Can you be a slave to sexual extremes and a practioner of spirituality and prayer?
Can the soul be healthy in a lecherous body?
Years ago someone said: “Sex will the the Catholic Churches 20 th century Galileo”.
Can the priest or bishop easily and authentically go from semen strewn floor of the gay sauna to the sanctuary to celebrate Mass?
Can the priest or bishop easily and authentically go from the world of lube and leather to the world of baptising, confirming, absolving and ordaining?
Can the priest or bishop easily and authenticslly go from the world of “fisting” and use the same hand, albeit washed, to bless?
Can the priest or bishop easily and authentically go from the world of the sadomachistic harness to the world of the bishops throne or presider”s chair?
Can the priest or bishop easily and authentically go from his gay porn addiction to reading the Missal and Lectionary?
Well, dear reader, these things are all happening and being tolerated commonly within today’s priesthood and episcopate.
The Laying on of hands, has acquired a whole new meaning.
WHO or WHAT will call a halt to all of this?

I don’t think you can understand this question without also considering the other huge examples the hierarchy and clergy just ignoring the rules: the previous heterosexual sexual activity of priests and also the comprehensive ignoring of the church’s teaching about sex to facilitate child abuse. When you also consider that other crimes have been reported by clergy and the Vatican’s finances are horrendous (in fact the reason HQ is in a tinpot micro state to evade European banking standards), the answer becomes very clear.
So the question isn’t really about homosexuality at all.
And the answer doesn’t show them up in a very good light.

An excellent article. Interestingly, the problem has increased within the last 20 years. Since that time, every candidate has passed through the hands of The Reverend Father Dr Fieldhouse-Byrne at St Luke’s, Manchester, for psychological assessment. This begs the question of his sexual orientation and competence. I know the answer! The deviants so often featured on these pages all received his nulla osta. He should be replaced immediately.

The questions you ask about gay priests and Bishops are well answered by your own life, Pat! You transitioned well into a bishop’s life despite your own personal struggles, conflicts, failings and sexual identity challenges. I do believe you have many contradictions in your life but I also affirm the desire of your heart to be as true to yourself as you can be – “authentic” – and in the way you believe God accepts. I also believe you try to be as principled as you can be in living your fidelity to God and to your partner. There is in today’s priesthood a huge crisis of sexual identity and promiscuous behaviour which is destroying the priesthood. I have been blessed to have met some wonderful priests in over 40 years and have been enriched by knowing them and working with them. The themes and situations outlined are doing untold damage to both church and priesthood and are a cause of great scandal for the faithful people of God. Can we be truly renewed or redeemed in Jesus’s way ever? The challenge is very difficult and overwhelming.

Some bishops are gay and will ordain gay men. Other bishops, who are heterosexual, disagree with the idea that gay men are ‘disordered’ and therefore justify their actions by ordaining them.

Yes, exactly.
Growing up in England in the eighties whenever the subject of the priesthood came up there was always a wave of nudge-nudge and we definitely looked on priests as dirty old men.
Despite this being in the Archdiocese of Birmingham I honestly can’t think why – it was before the headlines started, in a Catholic school, and there are certainly no allegations public about the school chaplain.
I wonder whether the church’s narrative became untenable after the sexual revolution – people were more aware of sexuality and less willing to believe that some people could live by the church’s teaching and take on the guilt that it was just you masturbating, etc.
Certainly as soon as I hit puberty myself I found the idea of celibate priests very difficult to believe but I’m still not sure where my contemporaries had already got the idea of the priest automatically representing a dirty old man.

I think the people/person who does this also genuinely doesn’t care what impression they give, so it may not be a real deflection at all.
What I mean is that when they reply to a comment about the RC church’s abuse by pointing out that it also goes on in other churches/scout troops/schools/families, they must be aware of the impression this is giving. This is either that they don’t give a shit or else think paedophilia is normal (an argument you only ever hear from paedophiles, strangely).
Don’t get me wrong, I’m keen on anything which makes the RC church look like a paedophile haven with no moral sense, because that brings the natural next step in this saga ever closer, so while I honestly don’t think their motivation is really to deflect it still serves the good of humanity.

Such a pity that he never went beyond such a potty place as Worcester. At least this is stirring his blood up as he coasts toward retirement.

Rubbish! Bishop McManus is upholding Church teaching.
Sodomy is gravely sinful and those who engage in it cannot, as Paul confirms, enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

Sodomy is the delict of inhospitality. Church teaching on human sexuality, on the other hand, is developing in keeping with the science of same-sex attraction.
If you are. uS cultural warrior, best not to transfer that cultural phenomenon here.

You have no Koine Greek.
The correct translation, in English, is that homosexuals WILL not enter the …, not that they will be prohibited from entering it.
They will CHOOSE not to enter it.
Jesus keeps no one from entering the kingdom.

To Abbot ☕️ & Co.: you published your newsletter on social media which includes an article about the medieval stone mortar being used on your premises as a “fount of healing”. The land that your abbey stands on was given to the monks by our family’s ancestor Theobald Walter (Butler). You did not welcome me, mother of Theobald’s direct descendants, into your guesthouse. In fact, you flat out refused me because of my association with Bishop Buckley, therefore I am putting you on notice: The Butler “curse” is now upon those at Glenstal who were responsible for shutting the door in my face🤣. https://glenstal.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/GLENSTAL-ABBEY-CHRONCILE-SUMMER-2022.pdf

In answer to the blog question Pat: because our bishops are in sexual arrangements with our MIAs. I have been told this by an infamous cleric.

Pat, can anyone report on the number of priests who attended the ordination of Christopher Morris in Motherwell on Thursday. There does not seem to be any video of this event.
Also there are unconfirmed reports that Fr Chromey, Bishop Toals VG in Motherwell has resigned from both his post as VG and as Administrator of the Cathedral. Can any Motherwell reader fill us in.

There was No coverage of the ordination and even Sancta Media was not allowed to cover it.
Father Chromey has resigned his VG role but has took on a new role care of the clergy.
Father Breslin is the new VG and Chris Morris has been appointed to Carfin in September.
They are looking for a Rector and Spiritual Director for Scott’s College as current holder have returned to Paisley and Dunkeld.

33 concelebrating, 12 Motherwell.
Poorest turnout in over a decade!

The poor turnout of Motherwell priests reflects poorly on Motherwell diocese, not the new priest. What an impression to make on the 20+ visiting priests, assuming you’ve counted them up correctly.

I always count my priests properly, sure I need to know how many cups to put out for their tea 😘
It reflects entirely on the new priest, there’s no getting away from the fact that at least half the diocese rejected him as curate!! Sticking to their guns.
Now, would you like a cup of tea father? Go on, go on, go on!!

It’s not the place of the diocesan priests to accept or reject. Their responsibility is to respect the Bishop, which I’m pretty sure is one of the vows the new reverend will have taken last week. The Motherwell diocesan priests look petty and entitled. One occasion where I doubt appearances are deceptive.
