I don't recall seeing this story during the past week, but it serves as a reminder that even those who are supposed to lead and guide us on our pilgrim journey toward heaven can be as confused and sinful as the rest of us. Pray for this cardinal and especially for all those who are led away from heaven because of scandal and bad example.
“Friends and Lovers”
Homoerotic art featured at auction held Saturday at Our Lady of the Angels Cathedral to benefit AIDS clinics in Mexico
The AIDS Healthcare Foundation held an art exhibition and auction last night at the conference center of Our Lady of the Angels Cathedral in Los Angeles to raise money for clinics it sponsors in Tijuana and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
A California Catholic Daily reader who saw a preview of the event on a Los Angeles television program alerted the newsaper via email regarding the event. "They showed some of the items, and it was really gross -- men hugging, tops bared, nude males back scenes," said the reader in the email.
The title for the event was “Amigos y Amantes” (Friends and Lovers).
“Showcasing the work of notable and emerging Latino artists, this lively celebration of Latino art and culture will take place on Saturday, February 10th from 6:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels Conference Room in downtown Los Angeles. Entrance is $25.00 and includes complimentary appetizers and no host bar,” said an AIDS Healthcare Foundation flyer promoting the event.
It's a great work of mercy to help and assist those who are afflicted by AIDS, but there is a grave moral problem using, as a means to raise money, the promotion of the homosexual lifestyle as a good, which appears to be the case in this situation - at least in some respects...
It's time to pray for the FIRING of this man who is actively trying to destroy the Church. He and all the homosexual dissenters should be dismissed from the priesthood and excommunicated. Immediately. PERIOD! I am frankly much more concerned with the spiritual welfare of all the souls that these "men" are helping to destroy. They are doing it willingly and knowingly. Like the fallen angels, they know full well the consequences of their actions, and are choosing those actions intentionally.
ReplyDeleteMy words are "uncharitable"? Well, so be it. A lot of Christ's words were pretty rough, too. And, his most scathing language was reserved for religious leaders who lead their flocks astray ("...better that a millstone be hung around his neck..." - remember that one?).
It's time to get off the PC mentality, folks, and tell it like it is. The Church is in serious trouble because of people like Mahoney. It's high time that the Holy See got rid of each and every one of them. PERIOD!
