  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Where Do Homosexual Activists Want the Church to Go?

Pro-homosexual activists working inside the Catholic Church used to ask for pastoral openness as a means to gain sympathy for their cause. They knew that as long as Church doctrine defined homosexual acts as intrinsically disordered and gravely sinful, they were limited to cries for “inclusion” and “welcome.”

Now, however, activists are openly calling for doctrinal change. Inclusion is not enough. Catholics must accept and cherish homosexual relationships as good and normal.

Attacking Pope Leo XIV

Such demands surfaced when Pope Leo XIV recently said that doctrinal change was “highly unlikely, certainly in the near future.” In reply, “queer theologian” Ish Ruiz showed the true face of the movement’s rage with his article, “‘Not in the Near Future’ Is not Good Enough for LGBTQ+ Catholics.”

The article appeared in the misnamed National Catholic Reporter, a media outlet that regularly publishes unorthodox commentaries from leading figures of the Catholic left. The article leaves no doubt as to where the movement wants to go. Activists want the Church to change its immutable teaching. They want gravely sinful actions to no longer be considered so. Ruiz claims they should not settle for anything less. The Gospel timeline is now.

Continued below.

They just need to grow up and realize their sin isn’t so special. Sorry if that sounds harsh, but I’m growing tired of them constantly attacking my Church. Lord have mercy!

They want us to all become Episcopalians. It's the same playbook they are following. And they are progressing in that direction. The proof of that is that they can state that "Not in the Near Future Is not Good Enough". They are telling us we should jump to attention to become Episcopalians in the near future. We have been told.

I had hoped that these activists would have happily joined the Episcopalians and be done with it. But they have a much bigger goal. They want to totally bugger the Catholic Church. Nothing less will do.
