Boston Archdiocese Waffles On Rainbow Gathering

This past Sunday I reported that the rainbow "mass" scheduled to occur in a Boston church was axed by the Archdiocese of Boston chancery.  Many of us were rejoicing that at last Cardinal O'Malley had found his moral compass and his backbone.  Well, such joy is, shall we say, now tempered.

From the blog "Bryan Hehir Exposed" we learn that the pastor of St Cecelia, Fr. John Unni, from the Sunday pulpit, accused faithful Catholics of "hate".  In attendance was the auxiliary bishop, Robert Hennessey.  The bishop, by his silence, both then and afterwards, gave assent to that sorry excuse for a homily.  Read the excerpts on the blog, and pray for God's mercy upon the souls of these two ordained priests.

There is also to be a "prayer service" at the same time during which the original "mass" was scheduled, with the approval of the Boston chancery.  Mind you, these are people who aid and abet those living a gay lifestyle.  Therefore, it's appropriate to question the deity to whom they are ostensibly "praying".  If they were praying to the One, True God, He'd be telling them in no uncertain terms to repent of the lifestyle that could damn them to hell for all eternity.

More Cockroaches Flee The Light!

This past Saturday (yesterday) and Friday I wrote of several scandals that were either corrected or prevented as a result of the Catholic blogosphere alerting other faithful Catholics to raise their voices.  I have learned of yet another triumph.

My friend at Throw The Bums Out notified us Tuesday that a Rainbow Mass was scheduled to occur in her Archdiocese of Boston.  Thanks to her blog, and some other, a deafening hue and cry issued forth, such as could not be ignored by the Boston chancery.  Boston.com carries a brief article on the matter, but not so brief that it could not include the obligatory whining and sniffling from the gay community there.  However, I'll also ask you to check out the first blog's Saturday post for a more in-depth picture of some of the chicanery that may still be occurring in the Boston chancery.

In the meantime, blogs such as ours are here to stay.  Thank you for your support, and thank you for adding your voices to ours.
