Novus Ordo: "Catholic" parish hosts gay dance party for Lady Gaga’s LGBT charity. Seriously
Get out of Vatican 2 churches for the Faith is not there....
Blessed Sacrament Church in the Archdiocese of New York has
announced that its “Gay Fellowship” group will be partnering with Lady
Gaga’s “Born This Way Foundation” to hold a fundraising dance in the
parish hall.
According to promotional materials
displayed on the parish website, the event, which is styled a “dance
party,” is called “Moving With the Spirit,” and will feature “cocktails,
cabaret, silent auction, and dancing.” It is scheduled for 7 p.m.
Saturday, June 17.
The
parish’s “Gay Fellowship” is headed by John Gasdaska, a man who
“married” his homosexual partner in 2016 in an Episcopal church. Blessed
Sacrament’s administration organized a celebration of Gasdaska’s
“marriage” soon after the “wedding,” openly publicizing the event in the parish bulletin.
The money raised by the dance will be used to fund the
activities of two homosexualist organizations: the Born this Way
Foundation and the Ali Forney Center. It will also raise money for
Blessed Sacrament’s “outreach to the poor.”
Carl
Siciliano, executive director of the Ali Forney Center, will be present
at the dance. Siciliano is a former Catholic monk and self-declared
“gay” man who holds that it is “child abuse” and “homophobia” to teach children the Catholic Church’s condemnation of homosexual behavior. He has even produced a video
called “Not a Sin” to promote this thesis, in which he claims, “I love
my Church, but I’m ashamed at the way it’s hurting children with its
teachings.”
“Teaching that homosexuality is evil is rooted in human ignorance and human bigotry,” says Siciliano. “It’s not from God.”
The
Ali Forney Center is named after an adolescent drug addict whose career
as a petty criminal and transvestite prostitute led to his admission to
a group home at age 13, and ultimately his decision to live in the
streets, where he was finally shot in the head at age 23, still engaged
in prostitution. The Center offers shelter to teens who identify as
“LGBTQ” and seeks to give them “pride and security in their LGBTQ identities,” even going so far as to provide them with transsexual “hormone therapy” as well as contraception.
The
Born this Way Foundation was created by the singer “Lady Gaga,” who is
known for her lurid exhibitionist performances. The name of her
organization is the title of a song in which she sings, “No matter gay,
straight, or bi, Lesbian, transgendered life, I'm on the right track
baby, I was born to survive.”
The
pastor of Blessed Sacrament, Fr. John Duffell, who will also attend the
dance, is a friend of Lady Gaga who has reportedly counseled seminary
candidates to lie about their same-sex attraction to get into seminaries.
A
request for comment from Cardinal Timothy Dolan and his director of
communications, Joseph Zwilling, was not answered by press time.
The
Catholic Church condemns all forms of sexual behavior outside of
natural sexual intercourse between a man and a woman united in marriage,
and warns that those who die unrepentant of such sins will suffer
eternal damnation. The Catechism of the Catholic Church states:
“Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as
acts of grave depravity, tradition has always declared that ‘homosexual
acts are intrinsically disordered.’ They are contrary to the natural
law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed
from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no
circumstances can they be approved.”
The Holy See also teaches
that it is the “duty” of Catholics to oppose homosexual unions, even
when they have been legalized, declaring in 2003: “In those situations
where homosexual unions have been legally recognized or have been given
the legal status and rights belonging to marriage, clear and emphatic
opposition is a duty. One must refrain from any kind of formal
cooperation in the enactment or application of such gravely unjust laws
and, as far as possible, from material cooperation on the level of their
application. In this area, everyone can exercise the right to
conscientious objection.”
Is the Archdiocese of New York dominated by a ‘homosexual mafia’?
Under
the leadership of Cardinal Dolan, the Archdiocese of New York has
become ever more involved with homosexual activism that openly
contradicts Catholic doctrine on human sexuality and even celebrates
behavior that the Church condemns as deeply sinful and “intrinsically
disordered.” Dolan himself has made a number of public statements
casting doubt on his own beliefs regarding homosexual behavior.
In 2014, Dolan publicly congratulated
professional football player Michael Sam for declaring himself to be a
homosexual. “Good for him,” Cardinal Dolan replied. “I would have no
sense of judgment on him. God bless ya.” He added that “the same Bible
that tells us, that teaches us about the virtues of chastity and the
virtue of fidelity and marriage also tells us not to judge people. So, I
would say ‘Bravo.'” The cardinal’s spokesman later claimed that he
wasn’t endorsing homosexual behavior.
Dolan has also openly endorsed the inclusion of homosexual organizations in the St. Patrick’s Day Parade, calling the decision “a wise one.”
In
2015, a scandal involving a priest of the Archdiocese of New York in a
sadomasochistic relationship with a male prostitute exploded in the
mainstream media after officials of the archdiocese repeatedly ignored
complaints from parishioners about the priest’s objectionable conduct.
Numerous anonymous sources have reportedly told
the Catholic activist organization Church Militant that high officials
of the archdiocese act as protectors of homosexual clergy, particularly
Msgr. Greg Mustaciolo, who is himself accused of being the ringleader of a “homosexual mafia” in the archdiocese.
