Perversion-Enabling Workshop At Baltimore Catholic Meeting - Cancelled, But Problems Still Abounded

In response to my communication to Erin Younkins last week regarding the scandalous workshop that was to have been part and parcel of the Archdiocese of Baltimore Social Ministry Convocation, I received the following email late Friday afternoon from the Archdiocese

Hi  – I know you expressed concerns about the Social Ministry Convocation and I wanted to touch base to let you know that workshop on transgender sharing stories has been cancelled and removed from the schedule.

Thank you,

Accordingly, it was determined that the reason for our presence on the sidewalk in front of Mercy High School no longer existed, so we opted not to be there.  I have it on good authority that the workshop was indeed cancelled.  However, I also know that this gab fest was still quite gay-infested.  I will have more to say on this as I receive the wretched details.

I've no doubt that many faithful Baltimore-area Catholics registered their concerns with the Archdiocese of Baltimore.  This episode proves once again that when faithful Catholics discharge their responsibilities and hold Church leaders to fidelity to Church teaching, that constructive results can and will happen. 

While we can rejoice that the Archdiocese of Baltimore canceled the workshop, we soberly acknowledge that had we not exposed this and called them out on it, that the workshop would have been conducted.  This is why we must always remain vigilant.  We, each and every one of us, and that means YOU, have a solemn duty to call out unrighteousness when we see it.  Yes, we must pray and offer sacrifices, but not even these will be sufficient if we content ourselves to do so only within the relatively safe confines of our churches and homes.  While engaging in those spiritual exercises, we need to speak and act publicly.  Often enough, we will see the benefits.
