THE CHURCH MILITANT - BELEAGUERED BY BERGOGLIANISM

How frightening is that! The graphic contains the names of all the member institutions of the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities in the USA. BTW, this is exactly the terrain that nurtured the likes of James Martin, S.J.


Thanks to Marco Tosatti for finally giving me a wider pretext to post this story other than as a reproof to Cardinal Cupich for his wink-wink-nod-nod approach to having had seven credibly-accused Jesuit sex offender living on campus at Gonzaga University in Spokane and failing to inform his successor bishop about it... Tosatti of course was sharing this with Italian readers who may not be aware of Jesuit influence in the USA.

Homoheresy widespread in
America Jesuit universities?

The current deviation from Church teaching on sexual morality finds fertile and creative terrain in the Jesuits, especially those in the USA. It is all covered by the huge cloak of ‘discernment’, a term very dear to the reigning pope and which seems, however, to operate only and always in one direction – towards dismantling what has been taught by the Church before Bergoglio became pope.

Joseph Sciambra, an American blogger, has brought to light episodes and situations which would not otherwise have been known except locally. Sciambra was born in northern California, not far from San Francisco, in 1969. He was raised by a stable and loving family and attended parochial schools until he was 12. But he early felt attracted to fellow males, and then was subjected to sexual abuse by a priest. In the 1990s, he lived the lifestyle of the gay subculture in the notorious Castro district of San Francisco, which gave him direct knowledge and insight about their daily lives and struggles. He also became a porn actor and a professional ‘escort’.

In 1999, following a near-death experience, he decided t return “to the love of Our Lord Jesus Christ and to the Catholic Church”. Since then, he has written much about the real-life problems associated with pornography, homosexuality and the occult. He earned a bachelor’s degree in the History of Art from Universith of California in Berkeley and a subsequent MA from Sonoma State University.

He has a blogsite under his name. In which, among other things, he denounces the immorality that he observes in the Catholic Church. For example, what is taking place in some Jesuit schools. On January 9, 2019, he wrote: [The ff is taken verbatim from Sciambra’s site]:

According to Seattle University’s "Transgender, Gender Non-Conforming and Non Binary Inclusive Housing Policy", eligibility for student housing is determined not by biological sex but gender identity. In addition, students have the opportunity to: “Correct their gender identity, name, and pronouns…”

Jesuit-run colleges like Seattle University have a history of affirming transgender students as well as tolerating such public events as student drag shows. [There are 28 member institutions and two theological centers in the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities in the USA.]

Bryan Massingale, a professor of theology at the Jesuit’s Fordham University, stated the following during his presentation at the 2018 Los Angeles Religious Education Congress on the Catholic Church and Transgenderism:

---

So, what do we do when we don’t understand? It means the Catholic Church is all over the board on this. It means if you go to Holy Rosary College, and you transition as a student, they will welcome you with open arms, and the campus ministry will accept you and they will provide housing and accommodations. Or you go to Saint Kundykunda’s, try not to pick anybody…and you transition, you can be expelled. Because that’s the kind of place we are at right now – when the Catholic Church is in a period of discernment as we are trying to understand what we don’t understand.

In 2018, at Seattle University, the women’s rugby team performed at the University’s drag show where female team members, dressed in cowboy gear and thongs, twerked in front of a screaming audience. Similar events featuring male performers have repeatedly taken place at Seattle U.

Also in 2018, an “indecent” photograph from the drag show appeared in the University’s newspaper. In his response to criticism about the photo, Seattle U.’s President Stephen Sundborg, S.J., said: “I allow the drag show…But then to go and show that indecent posecfrom a drag show on the cover is taking it too far." (Apparently, Sundborg was not upset about the show, the performance, or the photograph – just that the photo was published.)

At the Jesuit’s University of San Francisco, prior to the University’s 2017 “Drag Ball,” the campus Queer Alliance offered a tutorial on “how to tuck and bind safely.” Tucking refers to a practice known among the transgender and drag communities involving the concealment of the penis and testicles between the legs, sometimes requiring the insertion of the testes up into the inguinal canals. Binding pertains to the forcible flattening out of the female breasts, occasionally through the use of elastic straps, in order to create a flat-chested male appearance.

Also in Seattle, the Jesuit-run parish of St. Joseph Catholic Church hosts an LGBTQ Ministry which openly promotes dissent and same-sex marriage. On July 7, 2017, James Martin S.J. posted on his Facebook page a response from John D. Whitney, S.J., Pastor at St. Joseph Catholic Parish, to Archbishop Chaput’s review of Martin’s book “Building a Bridge: How the Catholic Church and the LGBT Community Can Enter into a Relationship of Respect, Compassion, and Sensitivity,” as well as the Archbishop’s understanding of Biblical condemnations regarding homosexual activity. Whitney wrote:

---

I appreciate that Archbishop Chaput enters into the dialogue, but I am intrigued, as well, by both the translation he uses (not the NABR, published by the Bishops) and by the sections he omits. Paul, a man of his times and circumstances, was clearly connecting the idolatry of the pagan world to the sexual behaviors that often accompanied it. Ritualized homosexuality and pederasty are significantly different from the loving and mutually chosen relationships of many committed gays and lesbians. It is for this very reason that the Church faces a deep call to moral examination and discernment: pederasty, hedonism, ritual and non-consensual sex are clearly contrary to the freedom of Jesus Christ. But, what we see today is something else, something not so easily answered by St. Paul’s words or those of Leviticus. We must dialogue, because we must discern – from the experience of real people as well as the historical understanding of the Church. When bad people act badly, that we can condemn; but when people who express great virtue in many ways experience attractions we had previously associated with evil, we must ask if our association has not been based on a false premise.

Whitney was also the former Provincial for The Society of Jesus, Oregon Province which
- in 2011, the settled priest sex abuse claims for $166 million as part of their bankruptcy proceedings and
- in 2018, it was revealed that the current Bishop of the neighboring Diocese of Spokane, Thomas Daly, was not informed by the Jesuits that unsupervised priests credibly accused of sexual abuse resided at Gonzaga University.

[The above news is important because it involves Bergoglio pet, Cardinal Cupich, now Archbishop of Chicago, who, in 2011, was informed by the Jesuit provincial, Father Patrick Lee, that seven priests, credibly accused of sexual misconduct and ‘with safety plans in place’ were living at Bea House, a residence owned by the Jesuits and not overseen by Gonzaga University.

Bishop Thomas Daly, who succeeded Cupich in Spokane and was installed in 2015, was not informed by the Jesuits or Gonzaga University or Cupich about the accused Jesuits, who were there because of declining health or because they had retired.

The so-called ‘safety plans’ forbade them from engaging with students. But media reports claimed some of them had regular unsupervised access to the university campus as well as unsupervised visits with students, and were permitted to lead prayer services in other settings, including on Native-American reservations.]

The Jesuits oversee numerous parishes with highly-affirmative LGBT ministries; most notably in Baltimore, Boston, Detroit, New York City, San Francisco, Tacoma, Toronto, the Dioceses of Raleigh, and Charlotte.

Speaking of churchmen whose proclivities can no longer be downplayed, much less ignored, how about arch-recidivist Cardinal Christoph Schoenborn who has an unmatched record in the past decade or so for not just allowing but sponsoring questionable art shows and spectacles in his Vienna rectory museum and in St. Stephen Cathedral itself? Maike Hickson recounts the latest indulgence by this smug and smirking, fundamentally dishonest Dominican (who holds a noble title as Count of Austria) - who unfortunately besmirches the Emeritus Pope because I believe he remains president of the Ratzinger Schielerkreis Foundation. Despite having been one of the earliest 'Ratzingerian' turncoats to become a Bergoglio thurifer-bearer and theologian of convenience.

Art exhibition at Card. Schönborn’s cathedral gallery
features lesbians kissing on church step
by Maike Hickson


January 10, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – A recently concluded art exhibition in the rectory of St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna, Austria included an image of two lesbians kissing in front of a church as well as an image of an almost completely nude woman posing as the Resurrected Christ.

The Austrian news website Kath.net reported today that these pictures were to be found and seen in the Curhaus, the building adjacent to St. Stephen's Cathedral which is, among other things, the rectory and which is open for everyone, including children. The exhibition ran from September 2018 until January.

The artist, August Zoebl, states in the exhibition that “what is needed is the explosiveness of the pictures” in order to “communicate the outrageous message of the Resurrection.” These words are to be found next to the image of a naked woman, with light coming down from above, in a dark room, who partly covers her body with a white linen similar to the one that was found in the tomb of Christ. The photographer calls his picture “Pietà.” Also subtitled, “The first light in the sepulcher: a man". [Was the 'woman' image perhaps intended to be the angel guarding the tomb that first Easter?] That picture was for sale for a price of 25,000 euro.

Another picture shows a woman standing on the top balcony of St. Stephen's Cathedral, holding a golden chalice in her hand.

Other problematic art has been on display in the Cathedral gallery prior to this. In 2008, a display of a series of paintings by Alfred Hrdlicka in the art gallery attached to the cathedral depicted Christ and his Apostles as homosexuals engaged in a homosexual orgy at the Last Supper.

Kath.net reached out to Cardinal Christoph Schönborn, the archbishop of Vienna, but did not receive any comment from the prelate.

At the end of 2018, Cardinal Schönborn had caused a stir when allowing a charity rock concert and dramatized play to take place in St. Stephen's Cathedral. During this event, the main actor – who in the past has repeatedly played nude roles on stage and who played homosexual scenes with other men in movies – stood upon the Communion rail of the church to perform a song, his torso bare.
The play also included several demons and one female Satan. The event was hosted by Gary Keszler, a prominent homosexual activist.

Last year in October, Schönborn's diocese had a similar event in another church, the Franziskanerkirche, where there was a rock concert with an immodestly dressed woman standing in front of the altar, singing. There were flickering lights in the darkness, with loud music and white-hooded strange-looking monks. Father Karl Wallner, the prior of the Cistercian monastery Heiligenkreuz, near Vienna, hosted the event.

Explaining his decision to organize this event which was meant to introduce people to the Papal Mission Society in Austria, Wallner said that Pope Francis always “tells us to try something new, and that is what we have done now.” He also later added that perhaps for some people this event might be “provocative.” [What the hell has possessed Wallner? How can Cistercians, supposed to be closely observant Benedictines, listen to an entirely frivolous and spiritually irrelevant suggestion from a Jesuit pope? You'd think Heiligenkreuz was not the site of the Benedict XVI Philosophical-Theological College set up in 2007 after the pope visited Asutria.]
