Most Holy Redeemer: the Gay Agenda Continues

Anyone familiar with this blog knows all about Fr. Steve Meriwether, the gay enabling pastor of Holy Redeemer in the Castro section of San Francisco, who blesses gay pride parade participants riding a Holy Redeemer trolley and wearing gay T-shirt and has allowed the use of the parish hall for transvestite beauty pageants, card parties, and bingo with sex toys and obscene videoes among the prizes, etc. ad nauseum. See here.

Well, the padre can't let Advent alone either. He's arranged a weekly vespers service with a motley crew of worship leaders from other dominations (including the other denomination in the Catholic Church, aka heretics). You don't need to be Catholic to join the vespers' club, but you DO need to be a gay pride advocate. So who are the players? Fr. Meriwether, of course. Episcopal Rev. Jay Emerson Johnson on the staff at the Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies in Religion and Ministry at the Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley. Johnson is enamored by the "intersections of queer theory and Christian traditions."  (Does that mean the Advent candles are phallic symbols for flamers?) Rev. Jeff Bert is a lapsed Catholic, self identified gay man, and an associate pastor of the Metropolitan Community Church (MCC) of San Francisco. Among MCC's positions is its commitment to "marriage equality" for LGBT folks. The last participant is Ms. Kaya Oakes, a liberal Catholic and gay proponent as well. (Surprise!) All the vespers' players support same-sex marriage and the repeal of Proposition 8.

Now the question for inquiring Catholics is, "Where in heaven's name is Archbishop Niederauer?" Apparently still tolerating and enabling Fr. Meriwether and his gay agenda. Remember the sacrilege below? Fr. Meriwether continues as a priest in good standing. My friend Fr. Haley, on the other hand, is out in the cold. If this doesn't make you angry, it should!

From the Feeding the Christians to the Lions Watch

A group of Christians who regularly meet on a corner in the Castro District of San Francisco to pray and witness were surrounded by a homosexual mob on Friday night; things got ugly and physical. Homosexual activists surrounded the small band, began to blow whistles in their ears, snatched a Bible from one, hit a young woman, knocked her to the ground, and kicked her. They also groped and attempted to pull down the pants of one of the group leaders who was leading the Christians in song and prayer. The Christian men surrounded the women in the group to protect them.

As things got nastier, police in riot gear showed up to keep the peace and escort the Christians safely out of the area. This is tolerance? Who's demonstrating hate here? You have free speech except in the Castro District of San Francisco? Get used to it and read the news items because this type of thing can be expected in cities all over the United States. There is also a homosexual hate list to target anyone who contributed over $1,000 to the Proposition 8 campaign. Browse the list. A wedding planner gave $10,000. Think about it. She will be forced to plan same-sex weddings. If she's a Christian she will have to close her business rather than cooperate with a grave moral evil. Gay "marriage" has ramifications many have not thought about. Forget choice; there will be NO CHOICE FOR CHRISTIANS. "Feed them to the lions" will be the mantra. As a rescuer on the front lines of the abortion wars, I've heard it before.

Governor Schwarzenegger threw gasoline on the fire by encouraging the homosexuals to continue their opposition to Proposition 8. What they can't get through the vote, they will force through the courts. The will of the people means nothing! Christians, wake up! You helped to elect a man who champions abortion and homosexual "rights". He will crush YOUR rights if he can.

I remember the March for Life the year the feminists were afraid the Supreme Court would overturn Roe v. Wade with the Webster v. Reproductive Health decision. When pro-lifers marched down Constitution Avenue that year, hundreds of feminist and gay activists many dressed in black leather with body piercings, spiked hair and signs spouting blasphemy and satanic messages lined the streets screaming obscenities at the peaceful marchers. More than a few dangled plastic baby models suspended from nooses. I predict the March for Life this year will be just as confrontational. Barack Obama has not brought unity, but hostile division. If the anti-Christian bigots could feed us to the lions they gladly would.

Pray and fast for Christ's enemies. And say over and over, "Father forgive them, they don't know what they are doing." But don't follow the example of the young woman who refused to press charges against her attackers. If they assault you, make them accountable. It's called tough love. Then if they get a prison sentence visit them in jail. When Jesus said turn the other cheek, he wasn't advising us to be doormats.
