The entire purpose of the Church is to provide everything that is necessary to salvation. The reason sodomy is rejected by the Church is that it is contrary to nature and inimical to salvation. It is one of the sins crying out to Heaven for vengeance. Those who practice sodomy, if they do not repent of this sin before death, will be cast into hell for eternity. That is why the Church teaches so strongly against this terrible vice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9695096.post-39604767391973481772011-06-21T09:54:57.735-07:002011-06-21T09:54:57.735-07:00Bryan, you wrote "The Catholic Church does no...Bryan, you wrote "The Catholic Church does not accept in the doctrine that you all claim to be so versed in that we do some background check on each person coming into the door." <br /><br />You're right. No background checks are required. What is required is that Catholics adhere to the teaching of the Church. It is obvious that you do not. Furthermore, your lack of charity is very revealing.<br /><br />Father Unni has promoted homosexuality. He has promoted "gay pride" and an organization which advances same-sex "marriage."<br /><br />For this reason, he should be removed from any and all ministry.Stewartnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9695096.post-70660699206071949612011-06-21T08:10:22.956-07:002011-06-21T08:10:22.956-07:00Have any of you been to St. Cecilia's...or the...Have any of you been to St. Cecilia's...or the former St. Ann's...or St. Richard's...or St. William's...to see Fr. John preach? Have you ever actually spoken with him or anyone in the parishes he has served or are you basing your opinions on an HTML document search and some weakly threaded tapestry of speakers and events that you choose not to attend? The Catholic Church does not stand for us to be cruel to each other and further marginalize those that are seeking a place of refuge and solace. The Catholic Church does not accept in the doctrine that you all claim to be so versed in that we do some background check on each person coming into the door. The church at St. C's is one that welcomes people where they are at, as Jesus did. Remember...Jesus is the basis of the religion...not the rules made up later by humans. I have been a part of St. Ann's and St. C's. I am proud to say that I have been. St. C's is a place where all are welcome...and not as a part of a Gay Pride Agenda. You that are so full of hatred should try exposing your own demons and fears and work through those with this God that you feel would want to continue to make the downtrodden struggle and the marginalized further distanced. You should be ashamed of your statements and your feelings toward what the Archdiocese is supporting in John Unni. Stop living by some rulebook that makes you feel safe and justified. Try to live life a little and meet some people who are "not like you." Although, in my experience, I bet a lot of you are a lot like some of "them" and choose to hide behind "doctrine" because of the lies you have spun about yourselves.Bryan Wood (bwood00@hotmail.com)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9695096.post-3149796491708535052011-06-16T11:39:01.380-07:002011-06-16T11:39:01.380-07:00I think the Cardinal is forfeiting his credibility...I think the Cardinal is forfeiting his credibility if he doesn't deal decisively with this controversy and soon. Whatever happens, it is crystal clear that the Catholic Church in Boston needs our prayers. It has become a sort of outpost for Sodom.Michael Colehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17489929697997071892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9695096.post-40783545411712218832011-06-16T07:00:13.553-07:002011-06-16T07:00:13.553-07:00It would seem that nothing has changed in the Bost...It would seem that nothing has changed in the Boston Archdiocese since the days of Paul Sinsigalli. Paul Likoudis explains in his book "Amchurch Comes Out": "..Paul Sinsigalli, who graduated from the Archdiocese of Boston's St. John's Seminary in 1999..was advised he would never be allowed to serve as a priest anywhere in the country because he held an unprogressive view about homosexual acting out at the seminary." Paul Likoudis then cites a report which appeared in Catholic World Report and authored by Michael S. Rose, in which Sinsigalli, a former Air Force officer, stated: "I was studying at St. John's Seminary in Boston and was told that I did not have the qualities required to be a priest. They said that I lacked leadership, intellectual ability, and emotional maturity, among other things. When I asked them to explain where these traits were exhibited they merely repeated the oft heard mantra: 'It's the consensus of the faculty,' and then would not defend or cite examples of said behavior. They had decided that I did not fit into their mold of what a priest should be...<br /><br />What were my crimes, you may ask? I stood up for what the Church teaches every time there was a question about it. I stood against the homosexual atmosphere which pervaded the college at that time and had the temerity to suggest that homosexuality is a disorder. I also did not engage in their pro-masturbation conversations which were commonplace in the halls and the dinner table. I was the target of a homosexual classmate who is known to have a violent history and required a restraining order to be taken out against him by another student..." (Amchurch Comes Out, pp. 58-59).<br /><br />And so we now have an idea what qualities the Archdiocese considers necessary to be a priest. If you promote "Gay Pride" and talk favorably about masturbation, you are considered to have the qualities required to be a good, healthy priest. This is taken as emotional maturity and evidence of intellectual ability.<br /><br />Small wonder that Father Unni has the "full confidence and support" of the Boston Archdiocese.Paul Anthony Melansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08455719838570381999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9695096.post-64961443990365465402011-06-16T03:38:13.295-07:002011-06-16T03:38:13.295-07:00Fr.

It is obvious that he is not committed to Catholic doctrine.Wendynoreply@blogger.com
