Update On Holy Redeemer College Park Scheduled Debacle

Yesterday I wrote of Father Wilkinson's efforts (?!?!?!) to better "understand the gay community's concerns" over the Church's opposition to the mutilation of marriage that some in Annapolis want to inflict.  I just received this attached letter.  Father is not holding an open meeting but will participate in "personal meetings".

Of course the real overriding concern is that those who are engaging in gay relationships are on paths that are certainly harmful to their immortal souls.  Indeed, if they die unrepentant of those mortal sins, they will likely endure the torments of hell for all eternity.  Will that crucial matter be a topic of discussion in those "personal meetings"?  I really don't think so.  However, perhaps I'm wrong, and Father will use those sessions to preach truth and offer the Sacrament of Reconciliation.  Miracles do happen!

Pandering To Gays At PG County Parish

A few days ago, I posted about the sorry mess that Cardinal George created with his implication that the teaching of Jesus Christ regarding the mortal sin of homosexual behavior was open to question.  Today I was given a copy of a letter written by Father George Wilkinson, pastor of Holy Redeemer Church in College Park, MD.  It is addressed to the parish at large and touches on the Church's opposition to gay "marriage".  You can read it here.  Written on December 28th, it predates Cardinal George's gaffe, but you'll see many of the same lamentable traits.
