Apostate James Martin Slams Bergoglio Claims his comments against homosexual priests and religious are 'wrong and hurtful'

DETROIT (ChurchMilitant.com) - Jesuit homosexualist Fr. James Martin is criticizing the Pope for calling homosexuality "fashionable."

On Monday, Martin posted a tweet declaring Pope Francis' comment "wrong and hurtful," adding, "It goes against every reputable psychiatrist and, more important, the experience of LGBT people."

His tweet is in response to comments Pope Francis made in an October interview released this week where he commented, "In our societies, it even seems homosexuality is fashionable. And this mentality, in some way, also influences the life of the church."

Pope Francis went on to say that men and women with ingrained homosexual tendencies "should not be accepted into the ministry or consecrated life," adding, "The issue of homosexuality is a very serious issue that must be adequately discerned from the beginning with the candidates."

While the Catholic Church teaches that same-sex inclinations are not sinful in itself, it teaches that the inclination is intrinsically "disordered" and that same-sex genital acts are intrinsically sinful — meaning the act is sinful no matter what and that no good can be derived from it.

While Martin touts himself as a faithful priest, echoing the Pope's opinion on things like immigration and global warming, he dissents from the Church's teaching on homosexuality.

In fact, he allies himself with organizations like New Ways Ministry which has specifically been condemned by the U.S. Catholic bishops and the Vatican. He has also been commanded by his Jesuit superiors to be silent on his own sexuality.

Martin also discounts the testimony of people who repent and convert from the sin of homosexuality, saying they are are in "conflict" with themselves and don't live a fully "integrated" life.

He also praises and promotes parish-based LGBT ministries like Out at St. Paul, a group at the Church of St. Paul the Apostle in New York. The group recently spoke of notorious homosexual predator Harvey Milk as a saint.

Francis: "No Room For Homosexuals In Seminaries" 

Matthew 5:³⁷ Let your word be ‘Yes, Yes’ or ‘No, No’; anything more than this comes from the evil one.

St. Anthony of Padua: "Actions speak louder than words; let your words teach and your actions speak." 

Homosexual activists condemn Bergoglio's mixed messages about homosexuality

What Pope Francis may really be doing by saying he doesn’t want gays to become priests

Yayo Grassi: “When the gay marriage law was being discussed in the Senate in Argentina, I read on the internet that then-Cardinal Bergoglio was very much against it and that he had said really painful and hateful things about the approval of the law. I was very surprised. I was very surprised more than anything else because knowing him, and knowing how much love there is in his heart, it was difficult for me to understand that he would do such a hateful thing. . . 
Cardinal Bergoglio replied to Grassi’s letter in two days. He first asked forgiveness because of the hurt his former student felt and continued, as paraphrased by Grassi:

“Believe me I never said any of those things. The press picked up from two letters that I sent to the nuns asking them not to give any kind of opinion on this, and they were distorted and they were put as my words.”
“[Bergoglio] ends his letter, besides asking me to pray for him as he always does, saying, ‘Yayo, believe me, in my pastoral work, there is no place for homophobia.’

Nothing Fr. James Martin shares on social media surprises me anymore.

Here is Martin promoting social justice Rosary beads for "modern sorrows" telling Catholics to meditate on LBGTQ couples, immigration, Mother Earth and other social justice topics with NO mention of Jesus at all. I'm not kidding...this is what Father James Martin is now promoting on social media.

Donald Wuerl expressed ‘great confidence’ in abuser priest’s salvation at 2001 funeral mass

December 3, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – In a 2001 homily at the funeral of a sex abuser priest, then-Bishop Donald Wuerl assured the faithful that they could have “confidence” in the predator’s salvation.

Originally uncovered by Townhall’s Lauretta Brown in September, a Pittsburgh Post-Gazette article on Father George Zirwas’s death notes that even though the priest was “banned from ministry for undisclosed reasons in 1996,” now-Cardinal Wuerl “never had any hesitation” about offering Zirwas’s funeral Mass.

This summer’s Pennsylvania grand jury report revealed that the Diocese of Pittsburgh, formerly headed by Wuerl, received complaints Zirwas had molested underage boys. Some of the complaints were filed when Wuerl was the bishop of that diocese.

“The Grand Jury learned that the Diocese was aware of complaints against Zirwas for sexually abusing children as early as 1987,” the report says. “Additional complaints were received between 1987 and 1995. However, Zirwas continued to function as a priest during this period and was reassigned to several parishes.”

The grand jury ultimately found that Zirwas had been involved in manufacturing child porn based on religious imagery on Church property. He was part of a group of priests who “used whips, violence and sadism in raping their victims.”

After finally being placed on a leave of absence for “personal reasons” in November 1995, Zirwas moved to Florida and then Cuba. In Cuba, Zirwas was murdered – according to Church Militant, by a gay prostitute.

Brown noted:

“The one thing we know is that George Zirwas responded to God’s call” when he entered the priesthood, Wuerl argued. He also praised Zirwas’s “kindness.”

Perhaps most astonishingly, Wuerl said that the funeral liturgy “expresses great confidence that Father George will experience new life in Christ.” He then added that “those who knew him can pray with great confidence that ‘this priest who proclaimed the gospel…might now receive the fulfillment of that gospel, life everlasting.’”

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette article also reported that Wuerl praised the priest’s devotion to his family and his mother, and Wuerl “sought to comfort those among the more than 100 mourners who might have had fears about the state of [Zirwas’s] soul at death.”

“Zirwas, 47, was found strangled May 27 in the Havana house that he shared with a Cuban partner and a steady stream of English-speaking tourists who paid $15 a night to rent the spare bedroom,” the paper explained.

Wuerl was criticized heavily by Catholics and non-Catholics alike for not only his handling of sex abuse allegations in Pittsburgh but also his insistence that he knew nothing of his predecessor ex-Cardinal Theodore McCarrick’s predation toward seminarians.

Eventually, after Wuerl met with Pope Francis, the pontiff accepted the cardinal’s resignation in October. Wuerl had already submitted his resignation three years before when he turned 75, but Pope Francis hadn’t accepted it. Cardinal Wuerl remains apostolic administrator of the Archdiocese of Washington, D.C. His replacement has not yet been named.

Gonzaga University blocks Ben Shapiro speech, citing ‘Jesuit’ values

Romans 1:¹⁸ For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and wickedness of those who by their wickedness suppress the truth.

SPOKANE, Washington, November 30, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – Gonzaga University has blocked a proposed speaking engagement for Ben Shapiro, saying it would be “contrary” to the school’s “Catholic/Jesuit mission and values.”

Gonzaga Vice President of Student Development Judi Biggs Garbuio declined the College Republicans chapter’s request to book Shapiro to speak at the university, Campus Reform reports, citing in addition to the school’s “Catholic/Jesuit mission,” human dignity, solidarity with vulnerable people, and safety concerns, given the sort of protests that might accompany an appearance by the conservative, pro-life Jewish commentator.

“Mr. Shapiro’s appearances routinely draw protests that include extremely divisive and hateful speech and behavior, which is offensive to many people, regardless of their age, politics or beliefs,” Biggs Garbuio said, appearing to accidentally acknowledge the intolerance of campus left-wing protestors, who have at other schools rioted and stormed buildings in response to speakers with whom they disagreed.

“Gonzaga University is committed to the human dignity of every individual,” she said. “This is the core of our mission based on the teachings of Christ Jesus, and the foundations of the Society of Jesus. We stand in solidarity with vulnerable members of our community who may be targeted for discrimination, ridicule, or harassment by others.”

Biggs Garbuio went on to say that because of “what has occurred on other campuses” there is question of whether safety could be guaranteed.

Gonzaga College Republicans President Olivia Johnston had submitted the Shapiro event request, which was obtained by Campus Reform.

“They want Gonzaga to be a left of center university and they have made it clear diversity of thought it not welcome,” Johnston told Campus Reform. “My mission as president is to ensure free speech on campus, as college is a place to expand your thinking and not be indoctrinated in the classroom.” 

“I refuse to accept a University that only supports strictly liberal thinking,” she added. “The hypocrisy must end.”

Although Biggs Garbuio cited Gonzaga’s mission in her reasoning for denying the request to host Shapiro, the university’s mission statement does express a commitment to support for critical thinking.

The mission statement says in part, “Through engagement with knowledge, wisdom, and questions informed by classical and contemporary perspectives, Gonzaga cultivates in its students the capacities and dispositions for reflective and critical thought, lifelong learning, spiritual growth, ethical discernment, creativity, and innovation.”

A Washington Times report noted how Shapiro reacted without fanfare to the rebuff.

“Would have loved to come out, gang,” Shapiro said in a Facebook post.

Gonzaga College Republicans Vice President Cody Meyer criticized the Shapiro banning.

“When an idea or figure arises who does not support the politically biased narrative Gonzaga clings to, our university can dismiss it as hate and intolerance,” Meyer told Campus Reform. “I urge Gonzaga to reconsider this decision and support the fundamentals of the Jesuit university to which I belong.”

Nicholas Gervasini, a Gonzaga senior and past president of the College Republicans, termed Shapiro a “nightmare for the administration.”

Gervasini said that the conservative speaker and Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief has “made his living criticizing their exact types.”

Young America’s Foundation (YAF) reported on the move by Gonzaga Wednesday, with another take on the blocking of Shapiro beyond that of a ban of free speech and critical thought.

YAF spokesman Spencer Brown pointed out that Gonzaga took no issue with inviting avowed Communist Angela Davis to campus.

He referenced specifics of her background, including among other things Davis having been a proud member of the Communist Party, Davis having been welcomed to Cuba in 1969 by the country’s dictator Fidel Castro and praising the socialism there, and her making the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted fugitives in 1970 for her role purchasing firearms used to shoot a judge.  

“This decision by Gonzaga administrators amounts to institutional anti-Semitism,” Brown said. “For Gonzaga to allow someone like Angela Davis to speak—while barring Ben Shapiro from appearing at the invitation of conservative students—is the height of liberal hypocrisy.”

“No one is expecting Shapiro to be teaching on the tenets of the Catholic faith,” added Brown, “so Gonzaga’s objections are flatly absurd, especially when one considers Angela Davis somehow passed muster for Gonzaga administrators.”

In the past Gonzaga has hosted supporters of abortion and same-sex “marriage” as commencement speakers, shown support for a pro-same-sex “marriage” group, been open to instituting policies recognizing gender-fluidity, welcomed the vulgar Vagina Monologues play, and been unsupportive of the pro-life cause on campus.

Shapiro is scheduled to speak at the 2019 March for Life, which draws hundreds of thousands of Catholics every year.

Saint Francis Xavier would be persecuted today by the heresiarch Bergoglio

A Catholic "Fundamentalist" Who Gave No Ground to False Religions 

Saint Francis described his work in Goa--and the effects of paganism on the people there--in letters he sent to his superiors in Rome:

As to the numbers who become Christians, you may understand them from this, that it often happens to me to be hardly able to use my hands from the fatigue of baptizing: often in a single day I have baptized whole villages. Sometimes I have lost my voice and strength altogether with repeating again and again the Credo and the other forms. The fruit that is reaped by the baptism of infants, as well as by the instruction of children and others, is quite incredible. These children, I trust heartily, by the grace of God, will be much better than their fathers. They show an ardent love for the Divine law, and an extraordinary zeal for learning our holy religion and imparting it to others. Their hatred for idolatry is marvellous. They get into feuds with the heathen about it, and whenever their own parents practise it, they reproach them and come off to tell me at once. Whenever I hear of any act of idolatrous worship, I go to the place with a large band of these children, who very soon load the devil with a greater amount of insult and abuse than he has lately received of honor and worship from their parents, relations, and acquaintances. The children run at the idols, upset them, dash them down, break them to pieces, spit on them, trample on them, kick them about, and in short heap on them every possible outrage. (St. Francis Xavier: Letter from India, to the Society of Jesus at Rome, 1543.)

Apostate Jorge Mario Bergoglio

St. Francis Xavier: 

We have in these parts a class of men among the pagans who are called Brahmins. They keep up the worship of the gods, the superstitious rites of religion, frequenting the temples and taking care of the idols. They are as perverse and wicked a set as can anywhere be found, and I always apply to them the words of holy David, "from an unholy race and a wicked and crafty man deliver me, O Lord." They are liars and cheats to the very backbone. Their whole study is, how to deceive most cunningly the simplicity and ignorance of the people. They give out publicly that the gods command certain offerings to be made to their temples, which offerings are simply the things that the Brahmins themselves wish for, for their own maintenance and that of their wives, children, and servants. Thus they make the poor folk believe that the images of their gods eat and drink, dine and sup like men, and some devout persons are found who really offer to the idol twice a day, before dinner and supper, a certain sum of money. The Brahmins eat sumptuous meals to the sound of drums, and make the ignorant believe that the gods are banqueting. When they are in need of any supplies, and even before, they give out to the people that the gods are angry because the things they have asked for have not been sent, and that if the people do not take care, the gods will punish them by slaughter, disease, and the assaults of the devils. And the poor ignorant creatures, with the fear of the gods before them, obey them implicitly. These Brahmins have barely a tincture of literature, but they make up for their poverty in learning by cunning and malice. Those who belong to these parts are very indignant with me for exposing their tricks. Whenever they talk to me with no one by to hear them they acknowledge that they have no other patrimony but the idols, by their lies about which they procure their support from the people. They say that I, poor creature as I am, know more than all of them put together.

They often send me a civil message and presents, and make a great complaint when I send them all back again. Their object is to bribe me to connive at their evil deeds. So they declare that they are convinced that there is only one God, and that they will pray to Him for me. And I, to return the favor, answer whatever occurs to me, and then lay bare, as far as I can, to the ignorant people whose blind superstitions have made them their slaves, their imposture and tricks, and this has induced many to leave the worship of the false gods, and eagerly become Christians. If it were not for the opposition of the Brahmins, we should have them all embracing the religion of Jesus Christ. (St. Francis Xavier: Letter from India, to the Society of Jesus at Rome, 1543.)

My own and only Father in the Heart of Christ, I think that the many letters from this place which have lately been sent to Rome will inform you how prosperously the affairs of religion go on in these parts, through your prayers and the good bounty of God. But there seem to be certain things which I ought myself to speak about to you; so I will just touch on a few points relating to these parts of the world which are so distant from Rome. In the first place, the whole race of the Indians, as far as I have been able to see, is very barbarous; and it does not like to listen to anything that is not agreeable to its own manners and customs, which, as I say, are barbarous. It troubles itself very little to learn anything about divine things and things which concern salvation. Most of the Indians are of vicious disposition, and are adverse to virtue. Their instability, levity, and inconstancy of mind are incredible; they have hardly any honesty, so inveterate are their habits of sin and cheating. We have hard work here, both in keeping the Christians up to the mark and in converting the heathen. And, as we are your children, it is fair that on this account you should take great care of us and help us continually by your prayers to God. You know very well what a hard business it is to teach people who neither have any knowledge of God nor follow reason, but think it a strange and intolerable thing to be told to give up their habits of sin, which have now gained all the force of nature by long possession. Saint Francis Xavier, Letter on the Missions,  to St. Ignatius de Loyola, 1549.)

Saint Francis Xavier, S.J., pray for us.
