Homosexuality is just one of [God's] miracles we don’t understand...

St. Francis of Assisi Catholic church in Sacramento will hold interfaith service to honor memory of homosexuals supposedly killed for being ‘gay’

“It is not a coincidence,” said the PFLAG announcement, “that the service is held each year near National Coming Out Day,” Oct. 11. October, too, is Gay and Lesbian History Month. “Thus, this service reminds us that the history of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people has been fraught with injustice, hatred and violence.”

This article can be read here at California Catholic Daily and, in a related article, one can read that St. Francis of Assisi Catholic church in Sacramento is “Not the conservative Catholic Church”. Just what does that mean?

“Tolerant,” is one of the things St. Francis of Assisi church in Sacramento was frequently called in an online survey, “Why I Attend St. Francis,” found on the Franciscan parish’s web site...

“Inclusive” was another adjective survey respondents used to describe St. Francis church. One respondent noted that he likes to attend St. Francis “because it’s not the conservative Catholic Church.”

Yet another noted, “I love the liturgical dancing on special feast days.”

St. Francis church is also “progressive” and “open-minded,” ...
Tolerant, inclusive, progressive, and open-minded - when used with "liturgical dancing" and "Catholic church", you know you have arrived just this side of heaven...How 'inspiring.'

But rest assured, Sacramento Franciscan Fr. Larry Dunphy notes that ... "friars like himself 'are to be truly brothers, and a sign and a model of all human and creaturely relationships, because the one Father/Mother God is the origin of all these relationships.'"

What more could a "Catholic" ask for?
