Most
Holy Redeemer Parish (MHR) is now, and has been for
decades, an unapologetically “gay parish” They
have established “facts on the ground.” The
following document will show what that actually means.
The
outrages at Most Holy Redeemer are well known, ongoing, and
as we say, unapologetic. They are unapologetic because they
quite sincerely believe that what they are doing isn't
wrong.
Most
Holy Redeemer is not a Catholic church with gay members. It
is a gay spiritual institution that is willing to use
Catholicism, including the sacraments, just as far as they
can be made "inclusive" of the formative experience of the
parish, which is homosexuality, and no farther.
