The Gay Diocese of Bishop “P.J.” McGrath

. . .Bishop Patrick Joseph McGrath, during his tenure as Bishop in the fifth-largest Diocese in California, the Diocese of San Jose (home to over 600,000 Catholics) has become one of the most gay-affirmative dioceses in the U.S.  Installed in 1999, although Bishop McGrath has a long history of gay-affirmation, in 2017 he was widely lauded by LGBT activists when he publicly criticized a decree given by Bishop Thomas Paprocki of Springfield, which stated that individuals involved in a same-sex marriage should not present themselves for the reception of certain Sacraments; for instance, the Eucharist.  It should be noted that the decree of Bishop Paprocki did not deny anyone the Sacrament of Confession. . .

Why I Don’t Call Anyone “Gay”

. . .the clergy sex abuse & cover-up stories have created a linguistic challenge for faithful Catholics.  Over 80 percent of these clergy abuse cases involve predatory sexual activity between adult men & younger men in less powerful positions.  Some Catholic commentators refer to these cases as “gay” to distinguish them from “pedophilia.”  Their intention is sound: the “pedophilia” label has frequently been a way to deflect attention away from abusive homosexual conduct.  I, however, maintain that we should avoid the word “gay,” & even the word “homosexual.”  Former Apostolic Nuncio Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò’s bombshell revelations about sexual abuse & the network of cover-ups raise the stakes.  We really must get the terminology right. . .
