Hate from within the Catholic Church

The following was written by a member, apparently in good standing, of the Catholic Church and then posted online on their Kansas City Conservative Examiner.


First, a formal announcement:

Our Lady of Perpetual Help, commonly known as "The Redemptorist Church", on Broadway in "mid-town" is presenting the Faure Requiem on Sunday, February 27th at 2:00 PM as a fundraiser for a new pipe organ. The musical event features the Heartland Men's Chorus.


Admission is free but a free will offering is suggested.


The Heartland Men's Chorus (HMC) was formed in 1986 in Kansas City. It describes itself as,

Heartland Men’s Chorus is the largest and highest profile gay organization in the Kansas City region. As such, we are much more than performers: we are one of the most powerful agents of change in the area as each and every performance allows HMC the chance to display a positive face of the gay community.

The Redemptorist church is a Catholic parish under the care of the Redemptorist priests and brothers. The church's website lists eight priests and 2 brothers as clergy of record. This is amazing considering that this urban parish is dwindling in parishioners while suburban parishes with massive populations of "cradle Catholics" and burgeoning graduates of RCIA are trying to get by with one or two priests and a handful of lay pastoral associates. 
The Redemptorists are an order of priests, rather than diocesan priests, who take vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience not unlike Catholic nuns.


Redemptorists, also known as the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer, were founded in 1732 near Amalfi, Italy as a society of missionary priests to serve the neglected country peoples of Naples.
The training for Redemptorists today includes a deep grounding in philosophy, moral theology, natural philosophy, canon law, and so on.


The Heartland Men's Chorus describes its purpose as, 

The members of HMC have joined together for the purpose of making music as a not-for-profit, volunteer chorus of gay and gay-sensitive people who are making a positive cultural contribution to the entire community.

We are a member of GALA Choruses, the international association of the lesbian and gay choral movement.

The announcement is followed by this hate ranting:

It seems a stretch to find the nexus between a choral group whose mission is to showcase not just beautiful music but more importantly their alternate homosexual lifestyle and Catholic teaching on Divine and natural law. Maybe it is that the HMC is also a missionary society, one that takes its message of cultural change to any venue of convenience, no matter what the alleged good result promoted. 


Free will offering or free love? Music is a common denominator of harmony. Surely there will be many who will argue some tenet of social justice supporting this blatant promotion of homosexuality by the local Catholic community: compassion, human dignity, fair treatment.


The fine fathers at Redemptorist might consider that the faithful continue to chafe at the mere suggestion of the pedophile scandal that has plagued the Church for decades; a betrayal of the greatest order done by adult men and their diocesan enablers who ostensibly consecrated their lives to Christ and his Church but nonetheless continued to molest predominantly male children.


With revelations of the behaviors found in modern day seminaries found in sources such as "Goodbye, Good Men", the Catholic Church may want to consider what message it is sending to the public by turning to the gay community, especially a group with an open agenda of proselytizing their message of first tolerance, then acceptance, finally conversion. 


What will we see next from the fine fathers at Redemptorist? Gay wedding services?


Heck, Obama will not defend DOMA, why would we expect that one of Obama's largest constituent groups, Catholics, not follow suit?


A gay group fundraising for a new organ. There must be a joke in there somewhere.

Nice, huh?  Hate, straight out of the Catholic Church.  And on a local level, too.

Thanks, guys!

I swear, I can't figure why any gay person would be either Republican or Catholic or Mormon or, God forbid, Southern Baptist, at the far end of the spectrum, since they all clearly have no use, if not out-and-out hate for, gays and homosexuals.  

Forget that same-sex attraction transcends both nature and time, throughout millenia---just keep putting out the hate.  What you don't know and/or understand, hate.

I don't believe Ms. Williams is aware of the "judge not, lest ye be judged" thing, out of that pesky Bible, let alone Jesus' admonition to "love one another."

Gotta' love those religions and "religious" people, eh?

Spreading God's love.  Yeah, definitely.
