I actually expected it. It’s who they are.They want accountability? They’ve got to be kidding.
My high school basketball team wasn’t very good. We tried mightily but lost almost every game. When another team would put on a full court press we basically fell apart.The LGBTQ group that arranged the funeral said Feb. 20 it wants “accountability” from the cathedral for shortening the service from a full Mass to a shorter liturgy without the Eucharist.
“A public apology will also be requested from the Archdiocese of New York for the painfully dismissive and exclusionary language used in their recent statement,” said GLITS Inc. (Gays and Lesbians Living in a Transgender Society) in a news release announcing it will hold a news conference with political and religious leaders and community members about the matter at City Hall Feb. 21.
In its Feb. 20 news release, GLITS said the “rash decision made by clergy members” at the cathedral “abruptly cut short … this joyful and celebratory commemoration of (Gentili’s) powerful legacy.” The service “ended an hour earlier than had been scheduled, thus denying her the full funeral Mass that was agreed upon,” it said.
The community Gentili served “requests a public apology to heal from the pain,” it said, and added that the rector “alluding to the presence of trans and the LGTBQ+ community at large as ‘forces of sin and darkness'” in his statement “is incendiary rhetoric that contributes to further discrimination against LGBTQ+ communities.”
The release cited Pope Francis’ call “for a more open and inclusive church,” adding, “We hope that LGBTQ+ parishioners and mourners won’t be left to feel abandoned yet again by the faith that they still want to call home.”
But Gentili was a self-professed atheist who had been “reexamining (a) relationship with religion for a long time,” according to a November 2023 interview. Gentili had come “from a family of so many different faiths,” including Catholicism, that the activist didn’t feel “attached to any of them.”
They just need to mourn in their own way and move on. Lying to get your way for a funeral is a new low.The LGBTQ group that arranged the funeral said Feb. 20 it wants “accountability” from the cathedral for shortening the service from a full Mass to a shorter liturgy without the Eucharist.

This was political theater. It was lying and manipulation all along the way. The goal is to own us. They are well on their way.They just need to mourn in their own way and move on. Lying to get your way for a funeral is a new low.
Thankfully, they can never manipulate God. There will be a day of reckoning for this whole LGBT movement.This was political theater. It was lying and manipulation all along the way. The goal is to own us. They are well on their way.

They will lie to get their way. Anything that doesn't support their lifestyle is hate according to them.The LGBTQ community makes it sound like the church was advised of what was about to happen. I wonder if that’s true?
