'People of faith must stand strong in these situations. As Pride attempts to take over as America’s new religion, people of faith must remain even firmer.' -Briana Oser
According to the parish’s website, “This celebration is an expression of our parish’s mission statement TO ACCOMPANY ONE ANOTHER IN CHRIST, CELEBRATE GOD’S LOVE, AND TRANSFORM LIVES. Our LGBTQIA+ ministry is a response to the Holy Father’s call to go out to the margins. Our celebration of Pride is not celebrating personal vanity, but the human dignity of a group of people who have been for too long the objects of violence, bullying, and harassment.
A priest with a rainbow stole stood outside and videotaped the event. A mother with a Pride hairpiece laughed at the protesters, walking into the church with her rainbow-clad baby on her hip. Catholicism is a religion of ends. It holds that the purpose of mankind is unity with God in Heaven after this life. Every action of the Church ought to be instrumental to this purpose: in prayer, or instruction, or works. The Church teaches that our vocations, God’s calls for our individual lives, guide us to our purpose.
And if the point of the Church on Earth is to bring souls to Heaven and lead them away from sin, why is a Catholic parish celebrating something that so clearly contradicts its own doctrine? And therefore, failing in its role?
