[Think this qualifies for here since he will soon be the ordinary of Sacramento.]

Bishop Soto upset the National Association of Catholic Diocesan Lesbian and Gay Ministries conference in Long Beach on Sept. 18, He didn't give them the approval they expected. I am impressed by his loving but firm approach.

Thank God the bishops are now speaking up. Many people need to hear this. Confusion abounds in our age.

I am reminded of the comment re Aslan in one of the Narnia books: He is not a tame lion.

Quote:
A series of about eight speakers came to the microphone to express their unhappiness with what the bishop had said -- and what they felt he had not said. [...]

Two speakers -- one man and one woman -- thanked the bishop for his address and voiced their agreement with what he had to say.

While the audience members were responding to the bishop’s remarks, a board member of the National Association of Catholic Diocesan Lesbian and Gay Ministries came up to one of the tables in the room and said, "On behalf of the board, I apologize. We had no idea Bishop Soto was going to say what he said."


What a wonderful opportunity give some encouragement to loyal Catholics, especially those brothers among us suffering from sexual/psychological disorders, and start disbanding this scandalous association, whose very name is inappropriate and revealing of an ideological agenda that has no place in the Catholic Church (nor in biblical Christianity at large), and to take the appropriate canonical measures against these people who obviously want exploit the Bride of Christ for the promotion of their vices. Their representative apologizes for what the Bishop said???

Kudos to Bishop Soto. It takes courage to speak the truth in a situation like that these days. He's not made his life easier for the future, and I hope Catholics of the area will express their support for him with words and deeds.

Now - what I'll be interested in, as follow-up, is how the dissenters are dealt with.

Will there be an attempt to very visibly and aggressively promote ACCURATE Catholic teaching on this and other issues? Will there be meetings with the public leaders of dissenting groups? Will dissenting groups be publicly refuted, while legitimate groups like Courage be aggressively promoted?

Or will there be .... silence from the legitimate Church?
