Then I recall the personal struggles of the prophet Jeremiah who desperately wanted to keep the Word of God to himself because it provoked such a negative response from those who heard his preaching. No matter how much he did not want to speak in the name of the Lord anymore, he could not hold it in. "There is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I am weary with holding it in, and I cannot" (Jeremiah 20:9). Jeremiah understands the anguish of preaching; however, keeping silent and not speaking the truth comes with an even greater cost. What a trap!
As a priest of the Roman Catholic Church currently serving in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, I would like to apologize personally to my LGBT brothers and sisters for my part in remaining silent in the face of the actions and inactions taken by my faith community towards the Catholic LGBT community as well as the larger LGBT community. I pledge to you that I will no longer live my life in the shadows of secrecy. I promise to be my authentically gay self. I will embrace the person that God created me to be. In my priestly life and ministry, I, too, will help you, whether you are gay or straight, bisexual or transgendered, to be your authentic self — to be fully alive living in your image and likeness of God. In reflecting our God-images out into the world, our world will be a brighter, more tolerant place.
>Then I recall the personal struggles of the prophet Jeremiah who desperately wanted to keep the Word of God to himself because it provoked such a negative response from those who heard his preaching Kind of like how any one who says "being gay is wrong" in current year immediately gets crucified even though it's the truth and needs to be spoken?
Landon Evans
The difference between him coming out and you sharing your opinion that you hate gays is that he isn't trying to harm people for who they are.
Luke Jones
>I will embrace the person that God created me to be. I'm pretty sure I could fill this entire thread with verses against homosexuality.
John Parker
>What is an apostate You should know the history of father Pinto (literally "dick"), who was a leight fag and tried to put some African stuffs in mass. youtube.com/watch?v=tG_EtuIuvUM Now he is still a priest, but he doesn't pray mass anymore and is a peaceful priest in other parish
Oliver Carter
Writing words that you hate people for who they are won't change them. Christianity is in decline. Gay self-identification is on the rise.

Anthony Cooper
This is historic and to be frank: quite beautiful. A catholic priest that dont give but actually takes throbbing cock in the ass. I cried
Asher Perez
I fucking hate western Europe
Zachary Bennett
I don't hate gays and I'm not trying to harm anyone, I'm just speaking the truth, and when I have kids (because I can have kids) I'll pass this truth down to them.
I had dinner last night with a married gay couple and their son.
Brandon Evans
and why is this news? you're telling me it needs to come out in the newspaper for people to know that there are homossexual priests in the church? Maybe making news about it is a trend.
It's not like he's about to comit heresy. Or he'll have to become a protestant to do it.
Caleb Sullivan
Except boi you are reply to doesn't say he wants to harm gays. This kind of train of thought is exactly the retarded train of thought destroying the west. "Someone said X but that's bad because it HURTS people!!!"
>>quit being such a fucking faget. Just because you like it in the ass doesn't mean you have to be a little bitch.

* In 2016, just over 1 million (2.0%) of the UK population aged 16 and over identified themselves as lesbian, gay or bisexual (LGB). * The population aged 16 to 24 were the age group most likely to identify as LGB in 2016 (4.1%).
My sister's neighbors are married and gay and have a son. They are both doctors.
Brayden Morgan
Does it actually matter if a priest is gay, they're supposed to be celibate correct?
Liam Gray
>Is this the start of a new trend?
It would not be surprising if a whole lot of them are gay or have some kind of sexual or existential demons.
I do not see many straight normally functioning men wanting to take a lifelong wow of celibacy.
James Clark
I’ll just leave this here
Benjamin Brooks
As long as he's kicked out of his position (and excommunicated if he persists in heresy) I hope it's a new trend.
Catholic church could use a good purge. We all could.
William Gonzalez

Abomination. Repent.
OH and telling gay people that is no different then saying that to people who steal or kill or lie or whatever. Sin is sin.
Sorry you are too much a child to take responsibility for your choices though, hopefully you'll grow up soon.

Asher Carter
Homosexual sexual predators are usually not pedos, although still more commonly pedo than heteros of course. They generally prey on teens.
Child sexual abuse (CSA) is a pervasive problem with myriad short- and long-term consequences for victims and their families. Its impact is far-reaching with recent estimates that 26.6% of girls and 5.1% of boys experience sexual abuse or assault by age 17 (Finkelhor, Shattuck, Turner, & Hamby, 2014).
"A 2015 study (linked above) looked at virtually every substantiated child sexual abuse case reported to child protective services in the United States in 2010. It concluded more than 20% of child sexual abuse cases reviewed involved a primary female perpetrator – so estimates vary significantly."

Josiah James
My priest is gay. I didn't know it when I was attending church all though high school. I was an alter boy and honestly he was a good guy, almost like a father figure. Never did anything sexually inappropriate. He did end up pissing me off though because he was so controlling "hurrrrr you are holding the crucifix improperly!! Durrr" I did stop buying in to all the church dogma bullshit as I got older. When the priest was laid up, some parish members volunteered to help clean up his apartment and they found gay porn VHS. Once confronted he was like, yep you caught me I'll go say a few hail marys then everything went back to normal. Fuck church.
Brody Bell
>Britain I don't live in Britain. I live in Ulster. Where gay marriage is illegal.
Feels good.
Camden Ramirez
>Are gays more likely to be pedophiles?
Yes.
Mason Butler
Immediate defrocking and ex-communication is required.
Sebastian Ward
This should not really be a surprise to anyone. Of course a career like that is appealin to the kind of men who would not have sex with women anyways, which are mostly homosexuals and other deviants. Celibacy is much to ask from a normal straight man, even if it is for God. A man who doesn't even intend to fuck women is much more likely to be gay than holy.
Priests should be allowed to marry and fuck their wives for offspring like orthodox and protestant priests, men are meant to have families. Life of celibacy without children is not natural, and doesn'y attract normal well-adjusted men.
Cameron Cox
What are they doing in the church, you retard?
Samuel Miller
Celibacy isn't even biblical. Of course, most things Catholics do isn't either.
Colton Clark
He clearly doesn't intend to condemn engaging in homosexual sexual activity as sin, so he is a heretic.
Joshua Morris
Based on his picture, I doubt anyone was surprised. Also: no Catholicism is represented in this picture.
Angel Hughes
I'm practicing from home now. CHRISTIANITY HAS RULES
Chase Myers
How the fuck is he gay? He isn't even supposed to care about this kinda stuff.
GODDAMM THE CHURCH IS SO GOING TO HELL Foking Vatican II heresy and fucking communist false prophet
DOWN WITH THE USURPER FALSEPOPE
Luis Jenkins
He's celibate so why does it matter? Let him leave the priesthood if he wants to nail dudes, until then he's asexual and married to God.
William Carter
Catholics have already had run ins with gay priests. Forget about all those poor alter boys that got raped by these evil freaks? Even if ya don't rape alter boys, God still doesn't approve of you getting fucked in the ass you degenerate.
Joseph Nguyen
My God
Jason Wilson
Mass? Why would a priest be in the church?
If he already condemns sexual relations for any other purpose other than reproducing, aka fornication, he's already condemning homossexual relations.
Owen Rogers
being a fag is hard because no matter what you're still a fag
Robert Rivera
Yes it matters. Dude obviously isn't celibate.
Kayden Parker
Proofs?
Nolan Diaz
Pope Benedict barred homos from the priesthood to protect children. God bless him.
Jace Price
Aren't priests supposed to be asexual?
Dylan Ortiz
>The words of author Jack Morin, seem so prophetic to me, "If you go to war with your sexuality, you will lose, and end up in more trouble than before you started." He's obviously diddling holes he shouldn't be.
John Ortiz
Ugh, it's like we have a clown in the Vatican who's job it is to make everyone think Christ is a feel good story and not a call to arms.
They just didn't tell anyone about their faggotry then. Celibacy is a practice that feeds this kind trend. Of course it's attracting more homos to priesthood than straight men. What kind of normal straight man would ever choose to be permavirgin for religious reasons?
Grayson James
>Gay priests do no harm. >you're no longer faithful.
Durrrrr
Luis Lewis
He's gay. That means no celibacy obviously. You can't be celibate and be sexually attracted to other people. Same if he said he likes dem poussi.
He is supposed to be above such mundane desires but the CHURCH GONE TO FUCKING HELL apparently
Brody Kelly
Why not?
Cooper Reyes
>catholics
Michael Gray
Stupid Jew. Celibacy was never an issue until Commies infiltrated in the 40s and 50s
Evan Sanders

Aiden Jackson

Luis Bailey
>He is supposed to be above such mundane desires
Only very marginalized men are. There will never be enough of them to fill all your clerical needs. You can't choose to be asexual.
Ethan Harris
>All of them are gay. Of course. No other church, sect, or religion displays the image of a naked, tortured man, front and center, in every church. Imagine a young man, devout catholic since childhood, who isn't attracted to women, perhaps, at the onset of puberty, but is sexually turned on by seeing the naked, tortured man statue in church. He interprets this as a "love of God" and joins the priesthood. I bet this happens all the time.
Kayden Cooper
>sex >mundane God says pretty often "be fruitful, and multiply!"
Now, using common sense, that would mean God wants you to have children and not be like the faggot pagans.
Liam Harris
Sexual orientation means nothing if you're not fucking anything. Saying this may as well be a waving a sign saying that he fuck s altar boys.
Aaron Taylor
Yeah, he's celibate, and George Takei doesn't like 15 year old ass. Uhuh.
Jaxon Ortiz
Yeah, that guys going to be defrocked quickly
Isaac Bell
Because to be gay you need to be sexually attracted to other people. That defeats the purpose fos celibacy entirely. I know it's hard to imagine a group of people without sexual inclination (cause you're a faggot) but that's the idea. The moment he says I'm gay, he means I like homos which by extension mean that he really wants some fuck which is unnaceptable behavior coming from a priest.
If we're to keep breaking dogma like that it's better to dissolve Catholicism and become focking Protestants
Juan Powell
And if he isn't?
Brayden Phillips
But saying he's attracted to women is fine and no priest has ever secretly fucked a woman? You are nuts.
Josiah Thomas
BS. If you can't control your lust you cannot be a priest. GTFO. Benedict was right. St. Peter Damian, ora pro nobis.
Brayden Ramirez
We should be concerned with mundane things, not a fucking priest
Robert Cook
Our Blessed Lord neither married nor had children. Was the King of kings and Lord of lords a pagan?
Jayden Sullivan
...
Jeremiah Davis
No, he most definitely is going to be defrocked. The magisterium really does not like rogue priests causing scandal with this matter. Heck, gay men are technically barred from entry into seminary, so this guy basically just lied his way in so he could subvert and destroy
Grayson Ortiz
ITS NOT FINE TO BE ATTACTED BY WOMEN EITHER HES A PRIEST GODDAMMIT
Matthew Thompson
Peter had a wife. Either he was the only good pope or the worst one.
Juan Taylor
And if he isn't?
James Nguyen
We never had an issue until Vatican II when apparent Church teaching on sexuality was liberalized.
Oy vey, I can't figure it out!
Kayden Rodriguez
>Was the King of kings and Lord of lords a pagan?
No, he was gay
Angel Ross
Dude that's that Steam guy. I forget his name. But he's the owner of Valve.
Carter Thomas
Well he will probably not be a priest for mich longer.
Blake Rodriguez
Men who are not sexually attracted to women are having hormonal decifits or mental health issues, or they are faggots.
