Who Can You Trust in a Roman Collar? A Series on the Good, the Bad, and the Disappointing! Fr. Charlie Curran

Fr. Charlie Curran, April 1967, Catholic University, protesting Humanae Vitae...

It's hard for a Catholic to know whom he can trust among our bishops and priests these days (including Pope Francis), although the line between orthodoxy and heterodoxy is getting clearer by the minute. I started to do a post on one of my heroes, Cardinal Gerhard Müller, but along the way got caught up in memories of my state of confusion in the late 1960s when I was a college student.
Those memories reminded me that this kind of confusion in the Church is nothing new.

More Bad News from the Vatican re. Dissent-Lover Fr. James Martin, S.J.

Fr. Martin introduced Metallica in 2013 

Well I guess it isn't surprising to see modern Jesuits sticking together. As my mom always said, "Birds of a feather flock together." And Fr. Martin certainly shares the same feathers with Pope Francis, praising many disordered actions and dissing those who love the orthodox faith as Christ taught it.

So, get to the point, you say.

All right, here it is.

And You Thought the Homosexual Clergy Problem was Behind Us?

I can think of several dioceses that might have the pink triangle for their logo! God help us. Remember when Bishop Bruskewitz made a motion at the bishops' meeting in Dallas to study the relationship between dissent and the homosexual clergy problem? He couldn't even get one bishop to offer a second to his motion. He called his brothers at the time, "This pathetic bench of bishops." What an understatement!

Well, the beat goes on...and on...and on. Which reminds me...pray for the repose of the soul of Fr. Robert Nugent who with Sr. Jeannine Gramick founded New Ways Ministry. The two paraded around the country shilling for the homosexual agenda until the Vatican finally, after years, put a stop to it -- at least under Catholic auspices. May God have mercy on this scandalous priest whose philosophy was "I'm Okay, You're Okay" no matter how sinful your choices. How many did he ensnare with his siren song?

Well, now he knows the truth. I wonder how his philosophy went over at the personal judgment. I pray he repented and sent his heretical views to hell where they came from before he stood face to face with Jesus who died to save each of us from the seven deadly sins. God doesn't want to lose any of His children, but He will never violate our freedom to reject Him. But what a tragedy to lose the eternity of heaven for this blink of an eye in the world. In the end, the choice between God's way and our way is all that matters. Please Lord, help me to be faithful and to live and die in your friendship.

Some Fascinating History of the USCCB and New Ways Ministry

Randy Engel has been fighting the good fight for years. And here's a fascinating glimpse into the history of the homosexualization of the Church in the U.S. through New Ways Ministry which was allowed to scandalize for years before anyone in authority taking any action. Don't trust any of the bishops mentioned in this article who helped bring us to the state of Sodom and Gomorrah we live in today. There's only one bright spot. God is not mocked and He is completely just. Every good act will be rewarded; every evil will be punished.

New lies for old -- The USCCB and New Ways Ministry

The Scandal of a Homosexual Parish!

The phrase "homosexual Catholic parish" should be an oxymoron. Unfortunately, it's not. In fact, as New Ways Ministry's website shows, there are hundreds across the United States including two in my home diocese of Arlington, VA, Our Lady Queen of Peace (OLQP) in Arlington and St. Francis in Triangle. OLQP is well known for its dissent as well as its promotion of the gay lifestyle. A former pastor, Fr. James Healy, died of AIDS a few weeks after "coming out" although his public profession was anti-climactic since everybody knew it already.

Some of the churches listed on the New Ways' list are well known for their scandals: St. Joan of Arc in Minneapolis, Holy Redeemer in the Castro section of San Francisco, the Paulist Center in Boston, and St. Francis Xavier in New York City. That these parishes are allowed to continue to scandalize the faithful is shocking! That their pastors openly work to advance the kingdom of Satan (who loves sodomy and lust) is scandalous. These parishes aren't encouraging chastity for those afflicted with same-sex attraction. Rather they encourage them to wallow in lust because gay "love" is good.

One of the most egregious of these men is Fr. Steve Meriwether, the pastor of Most Holy Redeemer. The scandals coming out of that parish are legion. For the latest about the former vice president of the pastoral council who is the "master" in a master/slave homosexual relationship go here.

If you really believe the sex scandals in the Catholic church are over, you aren't paying attention. Whether children are being physically violated, they are definitely being spiritually scandalized and emotionally damaged by the promotion of the homosexual lifestyle as "normal" and "good." It's high time these flagrant pastors are disciplined. If they can't get with the program (i.e., the teachings of Holy Mother Church) let them get out. Pray for priests, especially the bad ones. They will have a heavy accounting on Judgment Day if they do not repent.

Comment on New Ways Ministry:
If you're unfamiliar with New Ways Ministry, it's the faux Catholic, gay group started by Sr. Jeannine Gramick and Fr. Robert Nugent that promotes the gay lifestyle as a positive good. Their website affirms their involvement in the notorious document Always Our Children released in 1997 that was so bad the Vatican ordered alterations. It was issued in the bishops' names without a single bishop approving it and is filled with so much misleading material that, even after correction, it is a dangerous document. Bishop Bruskewitz issued an excellent commentary warning against it. In 1999 Sr. Gramick and Fr. Nugent were ordered by the Vatican to sever their ties to New Ways Ministry. The disciplinary document reads:

The ambiguities and errors of the approach of Father Nugent and Sister Gramick have caused confusion among the Catholic people and have harmed the community of the Church. For these reasons, Sister Jeannine Gramick, SSND, and Father Robert Nugent, SDS, are permanently prohibited from any pastoral work involving homosexual persons and are ineligible, for an undetermined period, for any office in their respective religious institutes.

New Ways ministry continues to do its evil work as do homosexual parishes that promote the gay lifestyle.
