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.

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?
The continued machinations of Pope Francis and so many of his appointees cry out to heaven for Raymond Cardinal Burke and the many supporting him to now call this pope to account or be deposed.
