Have you made a reservation?

This "event" or symposium is taking place in the Archdiocese of Minneapolis and the speakers list is made up of the usual suspects of heterodoxy or heresy - all members, it seems, of that special club reserved for Satan and his followers...and they are legion...

New Ways Ministry will sponsor a symposium entitled "Outward Signs: Lesbian/Gay Catholics in a Sacramental Church," March 16-18, 2007, in Minneapolis, Minnesota...

Presenters in five plenary sessions will examine major sacramental themes:
Brian McNaught, a prominent gay activist, will address Baptism and the Experience of Coming Out.

Sister Margaret Farley, RSM, will speak about Matrimony and Same-Sex Relationships.

Fr. Richard McBrien, an ecclesiologist and well-known columnist, will analyze Ordination to the Priesthood and Gay Men while

Sister Helen Prejean, CSJ, will address Reconciliation, Liberation, and Lesbian/Gay People.

There will also be a panel of bishops to speak about Healing our Wounds and Building a Eucharistic Community.

A variety of individual focus sessions will occur twice during the weekend. Among the focus session speakers are Michael Bayly on gay/lesbian parish ministry; Sharon Casey, OP, on lesbian nuns; Fran Ferder, FSPA, on psychology; Christine Gudorf on Intersex, Transgendered Persons, and the Sacraments; Diana Hayes on homophobia; Luke Timothy Johnson on Scripture; Anthony Kall, OFM Conv, on gay men in priesthood and religious life; Brenda Kirby on US Catholic attitudes toward homosexuality; Daniel Maguire on conscience; and Gregory Maguire on gay parenting.

What a pitiable group. Which bishops, if we may ask, compose the "panel of bishops" listed above...? A truly sorrowful aspect of this is that this "assault" takes place during Lent and those who should be dealing with such arrogant and misguided "children" are failing to fulfill their obligations.
