'Catholics should not support LGBTQ “Pride Month”'

Right Scholarship added,

Bishop Thomas Tobin @ThomasJTobin1

A reminder that Catholics should not support or attend LGBTQ “Pride Month” events held in June. They promote a culture and encourage activities that are contrary to Catholic faith and morals. They are especially harmful for children.

15,000 people liked the Bishop's tweet above. 4,500 people retweeted it but I do not know how many did so with hostile comments. It got 67,000 comments. Most of the ones I saw were very negative, though someone who looked at them said about a fifth of them were positive. 

Among the positive comments were these from the brilliant historian Professor John Charmley.

The truth is the truth even if the world is against it. I seem to recall Jesus had a few things to say on the subject of the view of this world, but maybe it's all changed now?

Honest question. Where in the gospels did Jesus condemn homosexuality?

Good question, to which the answer would be where he upholds the Jewish teachings and says not one jot or tittle will be added or subtracted.


I use this knock-down argument with people sometimes - it never seems to persuade anyone though. The counter argument is that the law includes the instruction, "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live".
