Thanks to Canon 212, I read of the debacle of a funeral Mass offered in Atlanta GA for the pastor of the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in the Archdiocese of Atlanta (not DC, but Atlanta). His name is Henry Gracz, a progressive who was often taken to task by faithful Catholic social media outlets. Of course the Not-At-All Catholic Reporter gushed all over him. The progressive rag published a statement sent to them regarding Gracz written by DC's Cardinal Gregory. Recall that, prior to his transfer to DC, Gregory was archbishop of Atlanta and would have been quite familiar to him. Graca was accurately celebrated for "welcoming" LGTBetc people. That is to say, he coddled their mortal sins. That is a mindset shared by Cardinal Gregory, as evidence by Gregory himself. During one of Gregory's first outreaches after his move to DC, he sang the praises of Fortunate Families, a gay-enabling organization. He also equated "sexual orientation" as just another characteristic as are race or nationality in a Catholic Standard article. For other indiscretions committed by Gregory, see this anthology of previous posts.
But let's get back to this funeral Mass, at which both Archbishop Hartmayer and Cardinal Gregory concelebrated. Both the Remnant and Gloria.TV reveal that two of the "altar servers" are in fact males that are in the process of mutilating themselves to pretend that they're female. Both in fact have been active in perversion promotions. One of them, in a recent local Pride parade, carried the Shrine's banner. I daresay that he most likely had Gracz's approval. By the way - we must pray for Gracz's soul, for a prelate to condone and promote such sin does not at all bode well regarding his eternal salvation.
Now here is a question that we should now address, for this bodes ill for the Archdiocese of Washington. Will this man Cardinal Gregory be foisting upon some DC-area pastor to inherently sinful demand to allow perverts to receive Holy Communion and even occupy key roles in our Masses and other church functions? If so, what are we, that is, YOU AND I, prepared to do about it? Think long and hard about that. Confer with your friends about it. I suspect this will come a lot sooner than we may have anticipated.
