Canadian Priest Slams Calgary Bishop and Knights of Columbus over "Gay" Marriage

Also Says Same Sex 'Marriage' Support No Impediment to Good Catholic Standing

The Catholic Church has been insistent that Catholic politicians may never vote in favour of legislation such as the Liberal government's same-sex "marriage" bill. The Vatican document "Considerations Regarding Proposals to Give Legal Recognition to Unions Between Homosexual Persons," released on July 31, 2003 by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, forbade any Catholic politician from voting for even [homosexual] civil unions, let alone [homosexual] 'marriage'.

But that hasn't stopped Carroll's parish pastor, Rev. Francis McDevitt of St. Mary's Parish in Barrie, Ontario, from calling [Canadian International Cooperation Minister Aileen Carroll] a faithful Catholic. "Aileen Carrol is a member in good standing of this parish," Fr. McDevitt told LifeSiteNews.com in an interview.

LifeSiteNews.com mentioned the Vatican direction on same-sex unions and that Calgary Bishop Fred Henry had explicitly taken issue with references to Prime Minister Paul Martin as a 'devout Catholic,' disregarding the PM's un-Catholic support for homosexual 'marriage.' Rev. McDevitt retorted, "Quoting one reactionary bishop out in Calgary who wants to spew off about everything under the sun because he's a short man who needs to get lots of press - that's not the basis of how the church works in Canada."

One has to wonder about which "church" he is referring...

It is so obvious that when an individual abandons the moral teachings of the Church, the only path left is the path of disaster and spiritual death. This can be seen from the comments above quite easily and if you wish to read the complete article, there can be no doubt that this man needs serious help.

What is so troubling about those who vocally and publicly renounce the faith and belittle their superiors while exalting those who promote murder, death and deviant sexual behavior is the deadly scandal foisted upon those who witness it. A most grave injustice is perpetrated on the faithful in matters such as these! Think of the injuries that are being done to souls!

As we near the season of Lent, I am reminded of the tremendous suffering which our Lord endured for my sins, for our sins, and for our salvation. Perhaps we can pray for this priest and his conversion and for those in his parish - because he appears to be blind to the truth. In fact, we need to implore our Lord to help all of us and His Church as we continue to witness more and more diabolical attacks against the Church, her bishops, and her priests.
