Priest cites Francis in praising students for their gay activism

A Jesuit parish priest who marched in a homosexual parade is now citing Pope Francis to protest the dismissal of an Eastside Catholic High School vice principal following his same-sex marriage, according to the priest’s Facebook site.

Students at Eastside Catholic High School subsequently created a petition at Change.org, calling on the Catholic Church to end its opposition to same-sex marriage. The students are also reportedly planning a “Z day” nationwide protest on January 31 to support Zmuda and urge a change in Church teaching.

In light of the burgeoning protests, Father John Whitney, S.J., wrote in his piece entitled “The Acts of the Orange and Blue Apostles” that he believes Pope Francis would approve of the students’ protests and that they are an example that other Catholics should follow:

Fr. Whitney defended his marching in the Seattle gay pride parade in his parish bulletin and invited parishioners to join him. In that bulletin, he compared the Church’s teaching to Old Testament dietary restrictions. In a 2012 interview with NPR, he called the bishops’ position defending traditional marriage “a denial of civil rights.”

I am sure the bishop will dismiss this judas priest from diocese forthwith.
If you are not for Christ, you are against him. Very basic really.

If Father Whitney thinks that the Old Testament dietary restrictions were for anything other than for public health, he does not know much about life. BUT what is also in the Bible refers to the SINFULNESS OF SODOMY...
