Joseph Stalin tried to destroy Christianity through brute force by sending off priests and nuns to die in gulags. It didn’t work. So leftists have settled on a new approach: infiltration and subversion. This allows them to hollow out the content of Christianity and replace it with moonbattery so repugnant as to make faith wither away:
An extraordinary minister of Holy Communion who identifies as “transgender” said that Archbishop Christopher Coyne of Hartford, Connecticut, told him that he supports the so-called “LGBTQ community” and that he agreed to change the archdiocese’s transgender policy for students to be “more positive.”
Archbishop Coyne wants female deacons and to move the Roman Catholic Church out of Rome. Earlier, he ousted a priest from his parish for not submitting to a Covid shot.
The extraordinary minister of Holy Communion is a guy calling himself Lynn Discenza.
According to Discenza, Coyne “agreed with me that as an archdiocese we can do more” regarding LGBT causes and that Discenza‘s pro-LGBT parish, St. Patrick-St. Anthony, is a “welcoming parish.”
“Welcoming” in this sense means “compliant” — if not “subservient.”
St. Patrick-St. Anthony in Hartford, a Franciscan parish, recently held a Mass in anticipation of “Transgender Day of Remembrance” where the altar was sacrilegiously adorned with a “pride flag.”
Discenza is coleader of the parish’s LGBT group. He targets children for grooming:
“The other thing is he agreed with me that we need to create safe spaces for youth in our Catholic schools,” Discenza continued. “Right now, youth in our Catholic schools do not receive any kind of recognition or support for being LGBT. One of the initiatives that we are going to take on here at our parish is to create safe space for our [self-professed] LGBT students.”
Children did not profess themselves to be sexually deranged before adults implanted the concept.
The Catholic Church teaches, in accordance with the natural law, that there are only two sexes and that bodily mutilation, such as “gender transition” procedures, is “against the moral law.” The Church also teaches, based on Sacred Scripture and the constant Tradition of the Church, that homosexual activity is mortally sinful and a “sin that cries to heaven” and that the homosexual inclination is “objectively disordered.”
However, the Bible has been found to be outdated. Presumably the same applies to the Tradition of the Church.
