US Archbishop Promotes - and Shares Residence - with Priest Who Spent 10 Years in Registered Same-Sex Partnership

Archbishop John Wester, 74, of Santa Fe, New Mexico, promoted the homosexual priest Steve Rosera, LepantoIn.org reports (August 4).

Rev Rosera (pictured) was a priest of Santa Fe until 1993. He left the priesthood and indulged 28 years in homosexual sins. For over nine years (2005-2015) he lived in San Francisco in a registered homosexual relationship (“domestic partnership”). It was dissolved in 2017, after the priest’s concubine started living with another man in 2012 and filed for dissolution in 2015 in order to "marry" him.

Archbishop Wester reinstated Rev Rosera's priestly faculties in January 2021. Rosera continued to promote homosexuality on social media. In October 2021, just four months after being reinstated, he celebrated “Coming Out Day” in the parish bulletin.

Monsignor Wester appointed the homosexual priest as the pastor of Immaculate Conception Catholic Parish. He also promoted Rev Rosera to lead an archdiocesan deanery and appointed him to the Archdiocesan Tribunal. There, he works as a judge and Defender of the marriage Bond.

"The very idea of appointing a priest – who abandoned his priestly duties and spent nearly 10 years in a sodomitical simulation of marriage – to the Archdiocesan Marriage Tribunal is a sacrilegiously disgusting joke," said Michael Hichborn, President of the Lepanto Institute.

Hichborn adds that Archbishop Wester has a history of questionable propaganda. He defended a program by Catholic Relief Services that promoted masturbation as a form of “safe sex.” In 2011, Archbishop Wester appointed a Democrat politician who had supported same-sex “marriages” as head of the “Catholic Campaign for Human Development”.

Archbishop Wester currently lives with Rosera in the same residence.

Under canon 2388 § 1 of the Pio-Benedictine Code, Rosera would incur excommunication latæ senténtiæ simply reserved to the Apostolic See, without prejudice to the tacit resignation ipso jure and vacancy ipso facto and latæ senténtiæ of the office according to canon 188, no. 5.

Gay activist Wester and notorious sodomite Rosera live together in the same residence.

In three months, Wester is supposed to send in his resignation letter to the Pope. Let’s hope the Holy Father allows him to resign and a new bishop be appointed, a good one.

This dude is clearly on his way to hell and leading others with him.

2 Peter 2:2-22
2 Many will be seduced by their licentious ways, and because of these teachers the way of truth will be brought into disrepute. 3 In their greed they will exploit you with concocted stories.
The Condemnation of False Teachers. However, their condemnation has been hanging over them for a long time, and the destruction awaiting them does not slumber. 4 For God did not spare the angels who sinned, but he cast them into the dark abyss to be chained, where they are being held until the judgment.[a] 5 Nor did he spare the ancient world,[b] even though he saved Noah, a herald of righteousness, one of eight, when he brought a flood upon the world with its godless people.
6 God also reduced the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes, thereby condemning them to total ruin and making them an example of what awaited the ungodly. 7 However, he rescued Lot, an upright man who was sickened by the licentiousness of the lawless society in which he lived 8 for that man was greatly tormented in his righteous soul by the crimes that he saw and about which he was told day after day.

They don't even care anymore.

I guess they figure if Rome doesn't care, why should they, ignoring everything God ever said on the subject but, hey, God's gotta just get with it and stop being so old fashioned, right? If Rome can do it, why can't He?
