Are these many gay priests chaste?What really disturbs me is the number of homosexual priests in the Church and how many of them seem unrepentant of that "life-style". Such priests are now champing at the bit to bless same-sex couples. Do they know what it means to be called to holiness?
Excellent article. Thanks for supplying it.![]()

Pope Francis: Small Ideological Groups Oppose Same-Sex Blessings; Africa a ‘Special Case’
‘In the Church, there have always been small groups that manifest reflections of a schismatic nature,’ the Pope said. ‘One must let them carry on and pass away... and look ahead.’www.ncregister.com
article said:"Those who protest vehemently belong to small ideological groups," Francis said; "A special case are Africans: for them homosexuality is something 'bad' from a cultural point of view, they don't tolerate it".

I like this comment: "Francis said that he trusts that “gradually, everyone will be reassured about the spirit of the declaration"".Methinks Frank is trying to limit collateral damage that he didn't expect. Some of his comments are merely digging him deeper:
You would have to ask them. Corner one and ask and don't accept a vague answer. They might tell you straight up. Or they might get mad at you and curse you and tell you to mind your own business. Probably the latter. And then you would know.Are these many gay priests chaste?
There’s no way I’d ask them that. I just hope mine are, though there was a rumor going around that a seminarian in our parish who later became a priest was having an affair with a then-married neighbor. I think he was still a seminarian at the time.You would have to ask them. Corner one and ask and don't accept a vague answer. They might tell you straight up.

Not every priest is this way.
Well, if you don't want to hire a P.I. to follow them around the easy way is to ask them. Or live in bliss not knowing. I have met two abusers in my years, one that got to go to prison. The other killed himself after he was finally about to be caught for the killing of two others. Then there is the priest who left to go live out his lifestyle in S.F.. There are others I've wondered about. At my age I think I'll just ask rather than waste years under their pastorship only to get misshaped under inadequate pastorship.

Pope Francis, in his wisdom, has approved the blessing of homosexual relationships ... that his own Church teaches are "objectively disordered" (CCC #2358). He imagines that God wants to bless objectively-disordered relationships. At the very least, that is absurd.
The Church shouldn't allow the blessing of same-sex anything ... unless its aim is repentance.
A chaste homosexual relationship? Does such a thing exist?
Possible. All sorts of things are possible. Eve Tushnet apparently knew of a chaste homosexual relationship. So I'm not going to say impossible.I would assume that a chaste homosexual relationship is possible at the very least. They would have to be celibate though, and of course they shouldn't live with each other either.
Then we have James Martin and that priest in Kentucky and who knows how many others providing blessings which bless unchastity, are intended to bless unchastity, and the whole world sees them as a sort of a nuptual blessing. That's the norm in Germany and so far the Vatican hasn't corrected any of it. So, if it's uncorrected how can you say it isn't allowed or even intended by the slippery language of FS? Had they sat on James Martin on December 20th they could maybe have made a case. But as James Martin is a tight friend of pope Francis I think he knows more about FS than the rest of us who have been told it changes absolutely nothing. It changes something alright. Catholic morality. That stuff that's not supposed to change.That said, I have since learned that apparently this blessing is meant to help bring people to God. It's not meant to condone same-sex unchastity or anything.

This Pope imagines that God will bless same-sex relationships, which the Church teaches are "objectively disordered" (CCC #2358). That is, at the very least, absurdly irrational.It's not meant to condone same-sex unchastity or anything.
Catholic morality has not changed. It will never change. The only thing that has changed is Francis and "Tucho"s adherence to Catholic morality. They no longer follow it.But as James Martin is a tight friend of pope Francis I think he knows more about FS than the rest of us who have been told it changes absolutely nothing. It changes something alright. Catholic morality. That stuff that's not supposed to change.
