Cardinal McElroy Is Now Canceling A Faithful Priest For Calling Out The Moral Depravity Of Current And Recent Prelates

Today I became aware that yet another priest of the Archdiocese of Washington is being canceled.  Father Michael Briese, stationed at St. John the Evangelist in Silver Spring MD is getting the axe.  To wit:

This letter from McElroy is dated less than two weeks ago.  McElroy announced his intention to reduce Fr. Briese to the lay state.  Could this post, as reproduced by Complicit Clergy, have aroused McElroy's ire?  If so, Father Briese wouldn't be the first one to ruffle the feathers of the gay cartel within the DC chancery now, would he?   He's not the first faithful priest to prick McElroy's conscience, either.  When McElroy was Bishop of San Diego, he lashed out at Father Richard Perozich when the latter reminded his parish that it is a mortal sin to vote for pro-abortion Democrats.

At the same time that Father Briese published his piece, I reposted an article by my blogging colleague An Archdiocese of Washington Catholic, detailing how Cardinal Gregory reinstated a priest, Father Adam Clark, credibly accused of homosexual abuse.  Of course, who can forget the debacle caused by Cardinal Wuerl and his lapdog, Bishop Knestout, when they expelled Father Guarnizo when the latter denied Holy Communion to a flaming lesbian.  You can go to my posts between Feb-April 2012.  One odd thing: there was no mention of this in either the Catholic Standard or Our Parish Times, although the incident literally made international news.

So now Father Briese is getting the axe.  I suppose Father now knows he has nothing to lose by spilling all the beans that he has in his substack post today, alleging that both Cardinals Gregory and McElroy were involved in their own perverted dalliances.  I say "alleging" because I have not yet seen solid evidence that these crimes occurred.  They are entirely believable.  Recall that very soon after Gregory assumed his position in Washington, he sang the praises of Fortunate Families in his first "theology on tap" talk that he gave. (Note: the video has been taken down, but see this)  He also had nothing to say about the "gay pride Mass" that occurred at Holy Trinity Church in Georgetown two years ago.  I wager a bet that the Holy Trinity pastor is still a priest in good standing.  Here is more on McElroy - and that's just from this humble blog.  I'm sure more exists elsewhere.

In his post today, Father Briese states that it's up to the laity to call them out.  He's right.

Voris: Half Of Catholic Clergy Are Gay

He seems to have evidence to support that assertion.  If so, that might explain Cardinal Ravasi's slobbering over David Bowie - and other strange things I've seen.

Priests Who Obey Canon 915 Put Gay-Pandering Chanceries To Shame And They Lash Back With Vengeance

In a case very reminiscent to the situation that happened in my own parish in February 2012, a priest of the Diocese of Baton Rouge denied Holy Communion to a man who is living in #mowwidge last week.  As in the case of Father Guarnizo who denied Holy Communion to a flagrant lesbian, he too was tossed under the bus by his local bishop.  There was a write-up in a local paper about the matter; Father Z does an excellent job of dissecting the journalistic goop.

Church Militant TV has an article on the matter.  In the article it is alleged that the Archdiocese of New Orleans issued an apology to the sodomite although it has not released a statement.  Unfortunately it is established fact that the Diocese of Baton Rouge did reprimand Father Mark Beard's obedience to Canon 915.  Again this hearkens back to what happened in the Archdiocese of Washington three years ago, as chronicled in the first hyperlink.

From the statements about the apologies, I gather that the Diocese of Baton Rouge is within the deanery of the Archdiocese of New Orleans.  Church Militant TV reported that the Archdiocese of New Orleans has quite a gay-infestation problem of its own.  They have screen shots of the page explicitly condoning gay sex.  CMTV reports that the site was recently taken down.  However, that occurred only after several Catholic sites correctly stated that the New Orleans page overtly condoned mortal sin.  The archdiocesan spokesperson said "an unauthorized individual" posted the material, but answered no questions as to the fate of this alleged scapegoat.  I wonder, too, how long had the material been there.  Are we to believe that not one single person in that entire archdiocese knew about that problem and did not raise their voice?  I'm sure at least one person did - and was summarily dismissed.  They took it down only because they were embarrassed into doing so.  Their unauthorized person should be fired, as should be the spokesperson of the Diocese of Baton Rouge; if they oppose Catholic moral teaching, they've no business earning their livings off the Church.

Today's Vortex touches on this matter.

The Scourge Of Sodomites And Homophiles Within The Catholic Clergy

As you watch this Vortex and hear mention of the term "gay-friendly clergy", think on the events of Lent 2012 at St John Neumann Church, within the Archdiocese of Washington. This is my parish so I'm quite acquainted with the circumstances.  To state that Father Guarnizo was back-stabbed by gay-friendly officials in the DC chancery is an understatement.  Here is an anthology of posts for memory refreshment.

Gay Sex Ring - More Details And Questions

Randy Engel On Homosexuality In The Catholic Church

Randy Engel, author of "The Rite of Sodomy", gives some valuable background information on the insinuation of the gay cabal into the Church.  She links it with the promotion of abortion and contraception.  She also makes very plain that a major facilitator of this plague was  - and continues to be - the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.

Listen to this interview; it's well worth your time.

The Gay Mafia In The Church

Read from this blog what St Peter Damian, himself a bishop and Church Doctor, had to say regarding the mortal sin of homosexual conduct.  It's clear that sodomy was to be found among clergy of his day.  However, it doesn't seem that even in that troubled era in which Peter Damian lived, the moral rot had extended into the Vatican as it has done today.

Homoideology And Homoheresy

These are terms coined by Polish priest Father Dariusz Oko in his report on the extent of the homosexual infiltration of the Church - even inside the Vatican.  He also uses the term "homomafia".  These are rather accurate terms.

We have long suspected this problem existed, and this report comes as no surprise to me as it describes things that I've personally seen.  Take the refusal to acknowledge the fact that the abuse of boys by clergy is obviously homosexual in nature.  When this crisis broke into national news, the Archdiocese of Washington tried to do some damage control.  They decided to have a panel of "experts" go into various parishes to "explain" the matter to parishioners.  The first one happened at St Raphael's in Rockville.  They tried to tell us that pedophilia targets both boys and girls in the general population.  We pointed out that our focus was not "the general population" but the Roman Catholic clerical abusers whose victims were 90% pubescent boys.  That and other reminders of pesky facts was not appreciated; I could see it in their eyes.  Guess what?  That "first panel" was also the "last panel".  We never heard a peep from them again.

Just last year we saw a dramatic manifestation of the gay problem within the Archdiocese of Washington - and at St John Neumann Church in particular.  I blogged extensively about Father Marcel Guarnizo who was then stationed at St Joh Neumann.  He denied Holy Communion to a flagrantly practicing lesbian.  Without so much as even interviewing Father Guarnizo, Bishop Barry Knestout handed to Father the papers that informed him that he was no longer to function as a priest within the Archdiocese of Washington.  Father Guarnizo is incardinated within the Archdiocese of Moscow.  Had he been incardinated here, I strongly suspect his faculties would have been suspended altogether.  Now we all know how long it can take to get things done within the chancery, don't we?  Didn't this maltreatment of Father Guarnizo happen lickety-split? I've no doubt that the homomafia within the Church was ten-thousand-percent behind the Archdiocese of Washington's despicable maltreatment of the good priest Father Guarnizo.  If anyone thinks me incorrect, I defy you to provide cogent reasons why!

Yesterday's LifeSite News features an article that ties together the various events that have erupted over the past few days, including the Vatileaks situation.  It also has a link to the report by Father Oko.  It is a downloadable pdf; I do suggest that you download it to your own computers.  Also take the time to read the "related articles" linked at the bottom.  I'll post the Vortex video below.

The Plague Of Gay Clergy

I will preface this Vortex episode with some of my own observations.  Several years ago, when the clergy sex abuse crisis was becoming prominent in the news media, the Archdiocese of Washington decided to launch "dialog" sessions with area Catholics by sending a panel of "experts" to various churches.  The first such session occurred at St Raphael's in Rockville.  Naturally they came with talking points.  Among them..

• The clergy sex abuse was no different than pedophilia found in other circles of society; that is homosexuality wasn't a major factor.
• There would be financial repercussions to Catholics as lawsuits would be paid from insurance policies.

They made what they now consider to be a mistake; they opened the floor for our questions.  We made plain that we weren't buying the yarn.  In regard to the first point, we reiterated that we were examining the sex abuse that was occurring among Roman Catholic clergy, not general pedophilia.  We weren't going to compare apples versus oranges.  We pointed out that over 90% of the victims of perverted clergy were boys, so indeed the problem lay at the feet of homosexuals within the clergy.

In regard to the second point, we let them know that the insurance premiums were being paid from our collection-plate dollars, and that those premiums would be skyrocketing as a result of the mess.  In hindsight, I think we can see from where Obama got his crackpot idea of his mandate "accommodation" for religious organizations.  Before it was Obama's crackpot idea, it was the bishops' crackpot idea!

That first meeting at St. Raphael's was also the last meeting. We now see that the archdiocese was only attempting "damage control" and that we weren't buying it.  From the perspective of the archdiocese, the meeting was a miserable flop - but an eye-opener for the rest of us.
