Cardinal McElroy Feeds Spiritual Poison To Sin-Sick Gays

This is the text of McElroy's homily to the Georgetown pervert-fest last week, as reproduced by Outreach https://outreach.faith/2026/06/cardinal-robert-mcelroy-to-lgbtq-catholics-mercy-redemption-and-holiness/

Cardinal Walter Kasper, in his magnificent book on mercy, states that the greatest attribute of God in God’s relation to humanity is mercy. For it is at the moments when we approach the Lord, resplendent precisely in our humility and seeing ourselves as we truly are, that we comprehend the magnificence of Divine Grace and the utterly unmerited embrace of pure love that God bestows upon us at every moment of our existence. Where does our repentance fit into this lovely imagery?

Mercy is God’s first word to us. Mercy is God’s great gift to us. Mercy is the ambient culture of the church which sees both the sinfulness of the human person and the striving for redemption and holiness that constitute the seeds of grace planted in fertile soil in our hearts and souls, capable of leading us through our failures, our periods of being lost, our times of ecstasy and resilience in this earthly pilgrimage on which we are traveling. The ignorance of Scripture is disgusting and not at all surprising.  Jesus' first public word, as reported in Mark's gospel, is "repent".  Given the sin that was swarming all over that conference, is it any wonder why McElroy would gloss over that?

In today’s second reading from the Letter to the Romans, Paul reflects that abundant mercy of God when he speaks of sinfulness in our lives, and true redemption (5:12-15). He forthrightly acknowledges that every woman and man is enmeshed in sin, and all of us have contributed to the breakdown in the divine plan for humanity that torments our world and tears our souls asunder.

But in the beautiful final words of the passage, Paul makes clear that the sin of humanity is dwarfed by the grace that God has given us in redemption: “The gift is not like the transgression. For if by the transgression of the one the many died, how much more did the grace of God and the gracious gift of the one man Jesus Christ overflow for the many.”.

The gift is not like the transgression. It is far deeper, wider, more profound. It is precisely in light of this reality that we can comprehend the mercy of God in our lives and the life of the church. This does not mean that our sins are peripheral to our lives or our life of discipleship.

On the contrary, the mercy of God precisely in its immense goodness calls us to recognize and confront our sinfulness and recognize how it mars the beauty of our souls and the blessings of our world. Honesty and integrity are the foundations for the Christian moral life, and we live as Christians in the belief that we are called to conform our hearts to the virtues of Jesus Christ: faith, integrity, compassion, sacrifice, prayerfulness, hope, chastity, forgiveness and deepest love. This is the pathway to holiness for all of us, and it requires the rejection of sin in every dimension. 

As we gather for this conference in a church which has so frequently wounded the LGBT community through judgmentalism and exclusion, we should find great hope in two important developments that have taken place during the pontificate of Pope Leo which constitute rich seeds for the unfolding of the Gospel in the years to come.  Acknowledging the heinous nature and ramifications of homosexual relations is simply the truth that must be embraced by all. 

Interestingly, neither of these developments focus specifically on LGBT issues or persons. They focus on the call to holiness for every believer and how it can be lived out in the concrete realities of our modern world.

The first cause for hope lies in the reflection that Pope Leo gave during his inspiring trip to Africa. Speaking to reporters, the Pope said “the unity or division in the church should not revolve around sexual matters.” This simple declaration puts in context the call to chastity as a component of the Christian moral life. Too often both in magisterial statements and on the popular level, sexual sins have been condemned with an ardor that effectively places them in the eyes of many believers as the core moral obligation of  Christians. This is utterly false to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  Our Lady of Fatima told the three children that more souls go to hell because of sins of the flesh than for any other cause.

When Pope Leo points to the comparative importance of economic justice, war and peace, immigration and racism as key elements of the Christian moral life, he is rejecting this false reductionism that concentrates moral obligations within the sexual realm.  So did Our Lady of Fatima engage in "false reductionism"?

The second development of great import for understanding our call to holiness in the contemporary world is the issuance of the report of Study Group 9 from the 2024 Synod. This Study Group had the great task of applying the pastoral theology of Pope Francis in an integrated way with Catholic teaching and practice. Study Group 9 boldly presented its conclusions in favor of a new paradigm based upon the kerygma:

The church’s mission is not a matter of abstractly proclaiming and deductively applying principles that are set out in an immutable and rigid manner, but of fostering a living encounter with the person of the risen Lord Jesus by engaging with the lived experience of faith of the people of God…in relation to the diverse situations of life and the many cultural contexts.  Truth by its very nature is rigid and immutable from age to age.  Subjective experience will never trump that.

In its anthropology, the report is pathbreaking: “Every person is a singularity whose wholeness and uniqueness is constituted in relation to the other, to society and to culture.” This focus on singularity reflects the preciousness spoken of in today’s Gospel about the sparrow. How much greater is each of us in our singularity in the eyes of God, who understands the folds of our heart and revels in the diverse beauty of our humanity. Seen in this light, the call to holiness is a personal encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ which envelops the whole of our lives and calls us to walk together in the life of the church — unique yet formed together in Jesus Christ. 

The pastoral method of Jesus had a specific and consistent pattern. First the Lord embraced those who had come to him for help. Then, he assisted them with the issue that was weighing them down. Only then did he call them to reform. This pattern must consistently be reflected in the church’s pastoral practice and in our own pastoral outreach to those whom we encounter in our lives within the context of faith.  Not always.  Recall from Luke 5:17-26.  Clearly Our Lord prioritizes dealing with sin over physical ailments.

I believe that this is the greatest contribution that Pope Francis made to the life of the church – the call to reform our conception of pastoral theology and see it as a core element of coming to understand the call of the Gospel and the formation of Catholic teaching. Pastoral practice is not the understanding of how to apply an already formed and often reified set of principles to concrete situations. It proceeds from the conviction that the concrete situations in which people find themselves are constitutive dimensions of how doctrine should be formed in the light of the kerygma. 

We gather together as the fruit of synodality is still becoming apparent. Let us pray that in the unfolding conversations in the spirit that guide us in the coming years, the whole people of God will move toward the future that God is building for our church.

Thus ends McElroy's so-called homily, that only served to confirm his audience in their mortal sins, making all the more likely their eternal damnation.  Recall that the Church recognizes nine ways that we can share in the guilt of another's mortal sin by cooperating with it.  The National Catholic Register lists them.  Read that list and see how many ways McElroy's screed does just that. 

Yet the SSPX, completely faithful to the teachings of the Church, is the chosen target of Leo's animus?  Of course.  It's obvious when one considers their clear goal of deconstructing the Faith.

The Vatican Celebrates Gay-Enablers While Threatening SSPX With Excommunication

On July 1, the Society of St Pius X (SSPX) will ordain four bishops, to take their place among the current bishops who are aging.  Pope Leo, a few days ago, warned them against the ordination, stating that they risk being in schism.  Last month I wrote about excommunication and declarations of schism, and still wonder to whom those penalties would actually apply.

One who was unjustly and most likely improperly declared excommunicated is Archbishop Vigano.  He recently made public a letter that he wore to the pope.  One impetus behind this release is that he had made an appointment to discuss serious matters with the pope.  The pope canceled the meeting.  Thus he wrote the letter denouncing his excommunication as improperly done and thus null and voice, and declared that he was not in schism.  Read for yourselves.  

In my neck of the woods, word has it that Cardinal McElroy has banned the construction of new communion rails and the restoration of those communion rails that had been removed.  He also is reportedly discouraging the use of temporary kneelers.  Does that mean the prie-dieu as well?

More troubling, however, is that McElroy is supporting the perversion-promoting cleric Father James Martin's Outreach Conference that is happening now at Georgetown University.  Not only did he write a glowing letter (see for yourselves), he also spoke at the pervert gab-fest.  I would be pleasantly shocked if he took the opportunity to call the attendees to repentance for promoting and/or committing homosexual perversions, but I realistically harbor no such hope.  Dare I say that after that slop that he sent them, that he should require such penance himself?

By the way - the faithful and intrepid young men of the American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property were on hand at Georgetown to perform various Works of Mercy in the face of the blasphemy and sacrilege that this Outreach conference foisted on Georgetown.  A video will appear below the jump break.

Now let's get back to the situation at hand with the SSPX.  I am also posting a video from Anthony Stine of Return to Tradition who is dealing with this topic.  Note from the video a few things:

• There seems to be some scuttlebutt that not only will the pope excommunicate the bishops of the SSPX, but also the priests, deacons, sub-deacons and seminarians, as well as other religious (such as sisters) who are affiliated in any way with the SSPX.  Will he next put the laity who attend SSPX Masses into his cross-hairs?
• Stine cites canon law that stipulates that excommunication cannot occur for the ordination of the SSPX bishops.  They have no desire to separate from Rome and sincerely believe that the Church is in a state of emergency.  With prelates seeking to obliterate piety from Holy Mass and actively aiding and abetting the mortal sin of homosexual conduct, who can honestly doubt the emergency that truly does exist?
• Some traditional Catholics state that the SSPX is wrong to decline Cardinal Fernandez's offer for "dialog".  Perhaps they aren't aware of the strings that Fernandez attached: no consecration, and the doctrinal issues are off the table.  Oh, by the say, this Fernandez is Kissy-Face.

Now below this jump break are the videos

Another Voice Of Truth Quashed In The Archdiocese Of Washington

A little over a week ago, Msgr. Stephen Rossetti, an exorcist for the Archdiocese of Washington, stated his belief that many of the purported sightings of  UFOs and aliens were very likely manifestations of demons. He also stated that demons can do many things that humans can't do.  I remember that when I read that, I suspected that the DC chancery would quash him, as they have done to many priests who speak unpopular truth - or at least truth that might be inconvenient to our gay-infested and mason-infested hierarchy.

Sure enough, Cardinal McElroy did not fail to disappoint.  On Wednesday (that is, yesterday), Cardinal McElroy expelled Father Rossetti from his position as an archdiocesan exorcist.  The latter had that position for nearly twenty years  McElroy claimed that Rossetti's words conflicted with the Church's positions on demonic activity.

Funny thing, though.  McElroy never said precisely how Rossetti's statements conflicted with Church teaching.  Your Excellency, we the Great Unwashed are mere simpletons!  Please educate us, with great precision, regarding the Church's teachings regarding demons and their activity.  As I read it, when Rossetti voiced his beliefs, that is what they were - his beliefs.  He certainly didn't pretend to insinuate new doctrine into the Magisterium.  As for the demons being able to do things that humans can't, that is simply common sense.  Demons are fallen angels - but they are still angels, possessing preternatural qualities consistent with angelic nature.

I can see where Rossetti's words might threaten McElroy and his ilk.  The mention of demons does call to the minds of people the realm outside of the physical here-and-now.  There is life beyond this earth, and each one of us will encounter it at the moment of our deaths.  Eternity will last much longer than our few years here.  The masons and humanists in the hierarchy find that inconvenient truth to be threatening to the establishment of their "new-order" utopia.  The Church's mission, as given to her by Christ Himself, is to save souls from damnation through the Sacraments and His Teachings.  Social-justice matters such as environment, etc don't hold a candle to that. 

Perhaps there is another reason.  Given the pachamama idolatries in the Vatican, pro-aborts being wined-and-dined in the Vatican, gays being coddled, etc, is it not reasonable to suspect direct demonic influence in the hierarchy, if not outright possession?  If so, it's no wonder that the voices of Rossetti and others are deemed dangerous by these miscreants.  If Rossetti is allowed an audience, decent Catholics in the pews might start seeing the demonic rot for what it is and might oust these tools of the devil from their positions.

Therefore, in the minds of Leo, McElroy, Cupich etc. Rossetti, and all the other canceled priests and bishops, simply must be shunted off to the sidelines.  Will we allow them to get away with it? 

A Candidate For The Maryland Elections

In November of 2026, the entire legislative body in Annapolis, from the Governor on down, will be up for reelection.  The US House of Representatives will also be up.  With one exception, the entire bunch of Representatives is rabidly pro-abortion, pro-perversion and anti-God.  That includes Jamie Raskin of District 8, the lower part of Montgomery County.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting Anita Mpambara Cox who is running as a Republican to unseat Raskin and to take his seat.  To good people residing in Maryland's Federal district 8, I urge you to support her in June.  She will soon have her website up so that you can learn more about her.

Oh, and one more little note on the legal side.  This blog, and its parent company, are NOT a "501c" anything.  That means we can endorse political candidates.  Actually we could anyway, now that Trump has defanged the Johnson Amendment that gagged not-for profits' political speech.  As elections draw closer, I will be posting more such items.

The Weaponization Of Excommunication - Who Should Be Excommunicated?

In the Diocese of Chur (?) in Switzerland, the local bishop will not discipline three parishioners gave Consecrated Hosts, that is, Our Lord Himself, to their dogs.  The bishop's name is Joseph Vonamane, and has instructed his priests not to condemn LGBTQ behavior.  The 1983 code of canon law attaches automatic excommunication to certain offenses, among them being desecration of the Holy Eucharist.

In the LifeSite News clip, Westin quotes the bishop as excusing those parishioners for they "did not act with sacrilegious intent".  So everything is just hunky-dorry over in Switzerland, right?  Well, hold that thought as we consider another situation where the excommunication sword is most definitely being rattled in iss scabbard.

As most of us know by now, the Society of St Pius X (SSPX) will consecrate new bishops to relieve their aging bishops.  They do not have an official papal mandate to do so, despite their attempts to obtain one.  The Vatican has thus far remained obdurate.  Many are puzzled by this strong-arming from the Vatican.  I am not.  Ladies and gentlemen, the SSPX, owing to their fidelity to traditional liturgy and Sacred Tradition, remind the current pope and his aficionados of the sinfulness of their own disregard for the Deposit of Faith.  The SSPX, by their very existence, rightly rebukes the progressives who are attempting to destroy the Church from within.  They want the destruction of the SSPX.  That is why they won't approves of the ordination of SSPX bishops.  

Faithful Catholics have been pointing out the utter folly of denying permission to the SSPX for the ordination of those bishops.  I will not rehash what they say here, but recommend them to your reading.  My blogging colleague at Les Femmes makes the point that supplied jurisdiction can and often does override strict adherence to official jurisdiction.  She cited examples such as English priests ministering to the faithful under the reign of Elizabeth I.  Maike Hickson points out that it is the Vatican's tinkering with Tradition that is the true cause of disunity, not the SSPX's attempts to preserve Tradition.

Rorate Caeli published a piece authored by the Canon of Shaftesbury that explained why the proposed excommunication of the SSPX simply doesn't pass canonical muster.  I will quote one key passage: "Furthermore, for a canonical act to constitute schism, there must be a positive will to separate from the Roman Pontiff or to refuse submission to his authority (cf. Canon 751). This is an essential element of the offense, not merely an aggravating circumstance. Bishop Athanasius Schneider and other reputable canonists have argued persuasively that the SSPX lacks this intent entirely. The Society professes full submission to the Roman Pontiff, accepts his doctrinal primacy, and explicitly does not seek to establish a parallel hierarchical jurisdiction."

Pope Leo!  Listen up!

The SSPX has repeatedly stated that they have no positive will to separate from Rome.  Even Rome itself does not dispute that.  Now let's go back to the situation broached in my first two paragraphs, where parishioners literally tossed Our Lord to their dogs.  The Code of 1983 (linked in my first paragraph) lists as one of the acts that can incur automatic excommunication the desecration of the Eucharist.  That did happen, yet the local bishop refuses to act because they "lacked sacrilegious intent".  So if the errant parishioners are being cut some slack because of their lack of malicious intent, why is such courtesy being denied to the SSPX?  Boys and girls, can we say "hypocrisy" and "double standards"?

Let's look at Pope Leo himself and his visit to the Mosque of Algiers last month.  Upon entering, he removed his shoes and expressed "gratitude for being in a place that represents the space proper to God".  It should be noted that others inside that room kept their shoes on.  Recall also that last October, the pope gave a "prayer room" to Muslins inside the Vatican.  He facilitated prayer to an idol at best, and perhaps a demon itself.

Now go back to that list of excommunicable offenses.  I see "apostates, heretics and schismatics" listed therein.  Is the pope himself excommunicated?

Here We Go Again! Sanctimonious Catholics Threatening To Boycott Elections - And Consequences Be Damned

Mid-term elections are upon us, and already some Catholics who imagine themselves to be oh-so-pure are talking about abstention from these elections.  I've never beheld such a smug group of people actually thinking that their shallow self-righteousness is actually a virtue.  I have blogged many times about this in the past, including why I believe that Catholic morality actually commands that we cast our vote for the candidate who will at least due less harm than his/her opponent.  

Chris Jackson, who writes Hiraeth In Exile, has an excellent treatment of the subject matter.  While I haven't looked at the Michael Matt podcast myself, what Jackson says about the need for Catholics to vote, even if none of the candidates is eligible for canonization, is on the mark.  It is entitled "Political Surrender Is Not A Catholic Virtue".  Please read it and pass it around.

An Open Letter To Archbishop Lori Regarding The Upcoming Satanic Revival In Balitmore

Below is an open letter to Archbishop Lori regarding the subject matter of my previous post.  While indeed laity must take action, the primary responsibility for any action resides with the local prelate - that is, Archbishop Lori.  Therefore, in addition to the actions suggested by the American TTP, I'd suggest pleas for action be placed with Archbishop Lori.   Contact information is here.

Your Excellency, by now you must have heard of the planned "Satanic Revival" that is currently scheduled to take place in the Mobtown Ballroom during the weekend of May 1 - 2.  As you can see, it is an open celebration of satanic worship.  I link now, not only to the site of the American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property, but that of the satanic temple itself, so that you can see that what I write is not mere hyperbole.

Your Excellency, you are among the successors to the Apostles, charged primarily with the salvation of souls.  That is to say that you are charged with protecting them from Satan and his wiles, and guiding them to Eternal Salvation through the One True Catholic Church.  What this "revival" entails is not only blasphemy and sacrilege on an unprecedented scale, but the further ensconcing of a satanic foothold in your archdiocese.  Please note that they will admit people into their event only if they surrender their souls to Satan; in other words, attendees must formally consent to be damned.

As Archbishop, you do not have the option to ignore this event, to dismiss it as a mere conglomeration of crackpots and eccentrics.  The spiritual peril is real and horrific. Yet as I peruse the website of the Baltimore Catholic Review, I see not one peep about the spiritual danger about to descend on Baltimore in less than two weeks.

At the very least, there should be calls for Catholics to engage in serious prayer regarding this "revival", prayers both in reparation for this upcoming and previous outrages against Our Lord and His Church, and to pray that this event is canceled before it can begin.  Protest can be lodged with the owners of the Mobtown Ballroom; the American TPF site gives contact information for area Catholics to use in that protest.  I understand that the American TPF site will have a presence outside the Ballroom on May 1; area Catholics could join them in prayer.

As noted above, this letter is open and is published.  Any responses, or lack thereof, will likewise be made public.  Thank you for your attention to this critically important matter.

Your Excellency, silence and passivity in the face of this evil is NOT a moral option for you, simply because this demonic debacle will literally happen just a few miles from the Baltimore chancery.

"Satanic Revival" To Take Place In Baltimore May 1-2

The American Society for Tradition, Family and Property has issued this alert for all Catholics, and indeed all who call themselves Christian to pray and take strong action against literal satan-worship from happening in Baltimore on May 1-2.  The announcement and suggested action steps are in that hyperlink.  However, I will reproduce it below.

On May 1, the Satanic Temple plans to hold an event called the Satanic Revival at the Mobtown Ballroom in Baltimore. This will be their first national event since SatanCon in 2023.

This diabolical program includes:

•       A talk titled: “The Satanic Pulpit: Sinful Testimonies.”
•       A Ceremony of Infernal Pride
•       A drag performance
•       A concert by the Pentagram String Band
•       A study session about the “Satanic religion.”

Furthermore, all of the event’s attendees are required to surrender their souls to Satan.

In response, the American TFP has launched a petition urging the owners of Mobtown Ballroom to cancel this blasphemous program. We need to let them know that it is unacceptable for any venue to invite the Evil One under its roof.

No words can describe how evil this is. Satan has no place in the public square—you and I both know that. And that is why taking action is not optional.

In addition to signing the petition, please contact Mobtown Ballroom and respectfully urge them to cancel the “Satanic Revival” immediately.

Here is some contact information you can use. Please be polite, but firm:

Phone number for Mobtown Ballroom

 (443) 699-3040

Sarah Sullivan, Co-Owner of Mobtown Ballroom

sarah@mobtownballroom.com

Michael Seguin, Co-Owner of Mobtown Ballroom

michael@mobtownballroom.com

Let us pray to Saint Michael the Archangel and ask him to crush the devil’s head once again!

As you can see, anyone who wishes to attend must literally surrender their souls to the devil, thus incurring risk of eternal damnation. 

The American TFP is organizing a protest of this event (if it goes on as scheduled) to offer reparation for the blasphemies and sacrileges that will happen during that event.  As I learn of details, I will post them.

Marylanders! Two Terrible Bills Are Being Pushed Through The MD Legislature! Your Voice Needed Monday March 30

Two horrible bills are making their way through the Annapolis state legislature.  They both require IMMEDIATE ATTENTION NOW!

The first is HB 1131.  This bill, in effect, would legalize infanticide: that is, out-of-birth-canal baby-killing.  Medical professionals who report such deaths would be penalized.  As of today, it has been referred to the Judiciary Committee.

The second is HB 0649.  From the bill synopsis on the MD General Assembly site, we read "Authorizing the Commission on Civil Rights to enforce a prohibition against discrimination and retaliation in educational institutions based on race, color, national origin, ethnicity, ancestry, religion, sex, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, age, or marital status; establishing the powers, duties, and limitations of the authority of the Commission on Civil Rights to enforce the prohibition against educational discrimination; establishing a private right of action"  

Right there, we see that private faith-based schools could be forbidden to operate in conformity with their religious beliefs.  In short, they would have to disobey God to conform to all sorts of "sexual orientations" and/or "gender identities".  Among other things, teachers and officials could face pressure to utilize make-believe "pronouns" under threat of legal action or even school shut-down.

The goal of both these bills are to advance anti-God and anti-life agendas while actively stifling those who would stand against them to honor God.

Testimony from any Maryland citizens regarding HB 0649 be accepted Monday 3/30 - that is, TOMORROW.  Please go to https://mgaleg.maryland.gov/mgawebsite/MyMGATracking/WitnessSignup.  If you don't already have a profile established, please do so now.  It's actually quite easy.  Make it a point to do so.  Your voice actually does matter - especially in an election year.  I will have more to say on the upcoming MD elections in a future post.

Kermit Gosnell And Paul Ehlrich - Two Evil Men Have Faced Their Creator

Paul Ehrlich wrote in 1968 a tome titled "The Population Bomb".  It helped foment the myth that there are too many people on Earth and that measures had to be taken to forestall that.  Of course those measures included contraception and abortion.  He predicted something called "the great die-off" that was supposed to happen during the 1980s.  Well, forty years later, we see the lunacy of that prediction.  Still, the overpopulation myth continues and has even infested the Vatican, as evinced by their embrace of "sustainable population".  Ehrlich died on or around March 19, 2026.

Five days later, late-term abortionist Kermit Gosnell joined him in death.  He murdered thousands of babies, and was convicted of murder after it was demonstrated that he snipped the spinal cords of three of his tiny victims after they survived the abortion process.  In his office were jars filled with body parts of murdered babies dating back for several decades.

These two men were clear menaces to civilization and to innocent life.  Pray that God granted them the gift of final repentance.
