: Pete Baklinski’s article Some saints ‘were

: commences: May 9, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) --
: Faithful Catholics may be in for a
: “surprise” when they “get to heaven to be
: greeted by LGBT men and women,” said a
: controversial Catholic priest who was
: appointed by Pope Francis last month to the
: Vatican’s communications office. If, in
: charity, one refrains from concluding he is
: duplicitous, is the only other possibility
: that he is so shallow that he should refrain
: from giving opinions about the Church and
: its teaching? How else does one describe
: statements that fail to differentiate
: between those who have homosexual tendencies
: but remain chaste, and those who indulge in
: their tendencies? Hence, my initial question
: – how easy must it be to become a Vatican
: advisor, when someone so-designated fails to
: make the kind of necessary distinctions one
: should be able to expect of an intelligent
: commentator?
:
: In reality, of course, “Faithful Catholics”
: won’t be the least bit surprised to find in
: heaven people who had homosexual tendencies,
: but resisted them, along with people who had
: tendencies towards rape, but resisted them,
: and people who had temptations to murder,
: but resisted them, and people who had
: temptations to grand larceny, but resisted
: them, et cetera.

: The article continues: Jesuit priest Fr.
: James Martin, editor-at-large of the
: Jesuit-run America magazine, made the
: comment on his Facebook page May 5 after
: posting a link to a pro-homosexual event put
: on by New Ways Ministry and calling it
: “another sign of welcome and building
: bridges.” Whenever I hear such drivel, I
: ask, when were they made unwelcome? When
: were any bridges burnt?
:
: It does seem to be so easy to become a
: Vatican advisor, doesn't it?
