The Church of St. Paul the Apostle announced that on June 22 it is celebrating a Mass outdoors at the Stonewall National Monument.
The Catholic church in New York City that hosted a controversial art display called “God Is Trans” is now hosting a “Pride Mass” at a monument commemorating a June 1969 LGBT uprising.
The Church of St. Paul the Apostle announced that on June 22 it is celebrating a Mass outdoors at the Stonewall National Monument in New York City, a national park associated with the June 28, 1969, uprising at The Stonewall Inn.
The “Pride Mass” is set to take place in the month the Catholic Church designates for the Sacred Heart of Jesus. June is also the month known as “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer Pride Month,” which LGBT activists designated to commemorate the uprising at a bar requented by homosexuals that was the site of a violent revolt against law enforcement during a police raid.
The Mass will take place in a park where there are transgender and “Pride” flags as well as sculptures of two homosexual couples titled “Gay Liberation.”
The park is located in the West Village neighborhood of Greenwich Village, which is approximately 4 miles from the Church of St. Paul the Apostle on the Upper West Side.
One moral theologian told CNA that celebrating the Mass with a political end is inappropriate and “possibly sacrilegious.” A canon lawyer has also questioned the liturgical necessity of celebrating the Mass outside of a sacred place, calling the choice of location “opportunistic for sensational reasons.”
