A Trump Humper had a Hategasm at me today

At a Catholic service today!

Not a Mass, but a "prayer meeting".

At the end, someone mentioned gay marriage tolerance, and this ignoramus went off like he was going to stroke out, with hateful slurs about gays, minorities, and the rest of the usual nazi bullshit.

One or two people gently reprimanded him, which is not at all what I had in mind.

I wonder if this is what triggered it?


"Fr. Martin at gay ‘pride’ Mass: Pope has appointed ‘many’ pro-LGBT cardinals, bishops"



"NEW YORK, July 1, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – In advance of one of the world’s largest homosexual “Pride” parades, Fr. James Martin, SJ celebrated a pre-parade Mass during which he told “LGBT Catholics” to be hopeful because Pope Francis has “LGBT friends” and has “appointed many LGBT-supportive cardinals, archbishops, and bishops.”

Fr. Martin is a consultor to the Vatican’s communications office who campaigns for greater acceptance of homosexuality within the Catholic Church. The Jesuit offered the “Pre-Pride Mass” at St. Francis of Assisi parish in New York City, known for its “LGBT ministry” that flouts Church teaching on sexuality, on the evening of June 29. One of the leaders of this “ministry” has fundraised for Planned Parenthood.

Martin said that “LGBT Catholics” should be “tough” in response to criticisms about LGBT ideology. Offering a gloss on the words of Jesus Christ in the Gospel of St. Luke, Martin sought to expand on the definition of Christian discipleship. Calling on homosexual and transgender-identifying Catholics to “be tough,” he said that recent years have seen “many positive steps for LGBT Catholics.”



.....



"All the more reason to be like Jesus: that is, tough,” said Martin. He said that LGBT Catholics and their parents and relatives are “as much a part of the church as the Pope, your local bishop, your pastor, or me. Root yourself in your baptism and claim your place in your church.”

As one prominent Catholic put it,

"Who am I to judge?"

1. Someone showed up at my church two Sundays ago

We’re Episcopal. We fly the rainbow flag in June. The guy said we’re all going to hell.

2. The deceased Priest who founded this prayer group

Was a tireless advocate for the marginalized.

He built rescue houses for addicts, alcoholics, mentally ill and homeless.

He got in trouble once for letting homeless sleep in his church and rectory, so they let him start a foundation.

Father James Peterson of Erie, Pa.

He would have washed this morons mouth out with soap.

3. My very Catholic oldest daughter can't stand this bigotry wherever she finds it.

Interestingly, she is very rural, on the Olympic Peninsula, and she finds VERY prevalent anti-Catholic sentiment from other churches.

I follow SJ Martin on Twitter.

4. Thanks!

It was difficult to keep a peaceful heart when suprised by the wind of hate.

7. I follow Martin in Twitter as well.

I'm not Catholic, but I like a lot of what he stands for, especially when he bucks mainstream policy and dogma.

8. I got the bigotry

I know how he feels.
