Lesbian "Marriage": Cardinal "Didn't Know" - And Doesn't Want to Know

Immaculate Heart Academy, an all-girls "Catholic" high school owned by Newark Archdiocese under Cardinal Joseph Tobin, is promoting a former student's fake marriage to another woman.

In its alumni information, the school's 2021 winter magazine wrote that Cristin Keegan had contracted a pseudo-marriage in November 2019. The magazine even featured a picture.

A speaker for Newark Archdiocese told LifeSiteNews.com (May 4) that the archdiocese had nothing to do with the magazine.

The school's associate superintendent John O’Neil said he was “not aware” of the scandal. However, the archdiocese and the school didn't answer [= denied] LifeSiteNews.com's question whether there would be any consequences.

Just a fine point...when one has an obligation to speak silence does imply consent. One can remain silent when it is known the speaking would of no good and may in fact increase the evil. Prudence rules in these matters ,you are not always required to start a fight.

Technically, Cardinal Tobin wasn't promoting the event because he claims (falsely or not) he didn't know it occurred. Further, even if it can be shown he -did- know it occurred, that still doesn't constitute promotion which requires some sort of act on his part to do so. Silence doesn't imply consent. If it did, every Catholic who does not loudly berate every homosexual couple they see in public …More

The US Supreme Court disagrees. Be grateful for that, else every Catholic "promotes" homosexuality whenever they don't criticize homosexual couples in public. ;-)

,,,and today @GaryLockhart discovers the difference between a presenting citation and presenting a relevant one.

2284 "Scandal is an attitude or behavior which leads another to do evil."

Refusing to criticize does not lead someone to do evil. Doing evil is a choice the second party must make on their own.

"the person who gives scandal becomes his neighbor's tempter."

By the Catechism's own words "giving scandal" must require an act to do so. The verb "give" describes an action. e.g. "gives counsel" or in this case "gives scandal." Silence results from NOT acting, i.e. communicating.

Your citation is irrelevant. ;-)
