Sodom & Gomorrah in Vienna Cathedral

Words fail at the latest abomination perpetrated inside St. Stephen’s Cathedral in Vienna, Austria.
On Dec. 1, 2017, “Cardinal” Christoph Schönborn presided over an interconfessional prayer service entitled Mozart Requiem in his cathedral church for “World AIDS Day”. The event was co-hosted by a certain Gery Keszler, organizer of the annual Life Ball fundraising gala in the Austrian capital to support people infected with HIV (AIDS). In reality, of course, it is a massive LGBT/”gay pride” promo celebrating Sodom and Gomorrah.
The semi-trad news site Gloria TV posted the following report on the infernal spectacle in St. Stephen’s this past Friday:
On December 1, Cardinal Christoph Schonborn (72) celebrated “World AIDS Day” with a special service in Vienna Cathedral. The event was co-hosted by the notorious homosexual Gerry [sic] Keszler. He is the organizer of Vienna’s “Life Ball”, one of the biggest homo events in Europe. Keszler and Schonborn regularly get together for private dinners.
Schonborn received Keszler at the cathedral entrance. In his opening remarks, he again welcomed Keszler “and all who are responsible for making Life Ball happen.” In a prayer for people who have died of AIDS, Schonborn claimed that “all” will one day be allowed to “find their home” in God. The dead, he said, are “not lost forever.”
In the bidding prayers, the transvestite Thomas Neuwirth, who calls himself “Conchita Wurst”, lamented an alleged “persecution of those who live their identity in a way that is different from that of the majority.” Afterwards, he invited the people to come up, put a grain of incense into a bowl [!], and offer a personal petition.
In his concluding remarks inside the cathedral, Keszler said that it is not important whom we love or what we believe in. Schonborn thanked Keszler for his comments.

The sacrilegious performance can be watched here:
Incidentally, the AIDS pseudo-liturgy offered in the Viennese cathedral on Dec. 1 included a reading from the book of the Apocalypse. This is the pericope that was read:
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth. For the first heaven and the first earth was gone, and the sea is now no more. And I John saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice from the throne, saying: Behold the tabernacle of God with men, and he will dwell with them. And they shall be his people; and God himself with them shall be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes: and death shall be no more, nor mourning, nor crying, nor sorrow shall be any more, for the former things are passed away. And he that sat on the throne, said: Behold, I make all things new.
(Apoc 21:1-5)
Not surprisingly, the reading stopped there and did not continue, although what follows would have been more appropriate for the occasion:
And he said to me: Write, for these words are most faithful and true. And he said to me: It is done. I am Alpha and Omega; the beginning and the end. To him that thirsteth, I will give of the fountain of the water of life, freely. He that shall overcome shall possess these things, and I will be his God; and he shall be my son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, they shall have their portion in the pool burning with fire and brimstone, which is the second death…. There shall not enter into [the heavenly Jerusalem] any thing defiled, or that worketh abomination or maketh a lie, but they that are written in the book of life of the Lamb.
(Apoc 21:5-8,27)
Another fitting scriptural passage that didn’t make it into the “prayer service” is this one:
Know you not that the unjust shall not possess the kingdom of God? Do not err: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor the effeminate, nor liers with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor railers, nor extortioners, shall possess the kingdom of God.
(1 Cor 6:9-10)
Oh well, this is par for the course.
Ironically, the perverted event began with a beautiful rendition of Mozart’s Dies Irae (“Day of Wrath”), which is used in the traditional Roman Requiem Mass as a sequence. It may be doubted, however, that anyone provided a vernacular translation of the Latin lyrics:
Day of wrath and doom impending,
David’s word with Sibyl’s blending,
Heaven and earth in ashes ending.
O what fear man’s bosom rendeth,
When from heaven the Judge descendeth,
On whose sentence all dependeth.
Wondrous sound the trumpet flingeth,
Through earth’s sepulchers it ringeth,
All before the throne it bringeth.
Death is struck, and nature quaking,
All creation is awaking,
To its Judge an answer making.
Lo, the book exactly worded,
Wherein all hath been recorded,
Thence shall judgment be awarded.
When the Judge His seat attaineth,
And each hidden deed arraigneth,
Nothing unavenged remaineth.
What shall I, frail man, be pleading?
Who for me be interceding
When the just are mercy needing?
King of majesty tremendous,
Who dost free salvation send us,
Fount of pity, then befriend us.
Think, kind Jesus, my salvation
Caused Thy wondrous Incarnation,
Leave me not to reprobation.
Faint and weary Thou hast sought me,
On the Cross of suffering bought me,
Shall such grace be vainly brought me?
Righteous Judge, for sin’s pollution
Grant Thy gift of absolution,
Ere that day of retribution.
Guilty now I pour my moaning,
All my shame with anguish owning,
Spare, O God, Thy suppliant groaning.
Through the sinful woman shriven,
Through the dying thief forgiven,
Thou to me a hope hast given.
Worthless are my prayers and sighing,
Yet, good Lord, in grace complying,
Rescue me from fires undying.
With Thy sheep a place provide me,
From the goats afar divide me,
To Thy right hand do Thou guide me.
When the wicked are confounded,
Doomed to flames of woe unbounded,
Call me with Thy Saints surrounded.
Low I kneel with heart’s submission,
See, like ashes, my contrition,
Help me in my last condition.
Ah! That day of tears and mourning,
From the dust of earth returning,
Man for judgment must prepare him,
Spare, O God, in mercy spare him.
Lord, all-pitying, Jesus blest,
Grant them Thine eternal rest. Amen.

“Cardinal” Schonborn, of course, is proficient in Latin and knows the content of the Dies Irae very well. In fact, he even made reference to it in his homily, although, of course, not the way he should have: Instead of preaching the necessity of repentance and warning the attendees against mortal sin, especially sins against the Sixth and Ninth Commandments, he offered the usual Novus Ordo platitudes about forgiveness, solace, and the rest.
In fact, “His Eminence” asserted several times that Christ came to save, not to judge or condemn. Although this is true in the sense that Christ seeks our salvation, not our condemnation (cf. Jn 12:47; 1 Tim 2:4), it is not true in the sense that Christ will not condemn but only save (cf. Mt 25:46; 1 Cor 6:9-10; Jas 2:24). Just guess which sense Schonborn gave to the holy words of our Lord! He spoke them in the context of a prayer service which countless unrepentant sodomites attended in order to mourn the loss of their partners in crime, and he entirely neglected to mention that Christ will judge and condemn those who do not die in the state of sanctifying grace (a state which is entirely incompatible with the practice of unnatural vice). Worse yet, Schonborn said explicitly:
Und die Frage wird sein: War ich einer, der gerichtet hat, statt zu retten? Johannes vom Kreuz hat gesagt, am Abend unseres Lebens zählt nur die Liebe. Was erwarte ich mir von diesem Abend? So beeindruckend. Daß etwas in unser Land hinausgeht, vielleicht wirklich von hier aus. Wenn Gott nicht zu richten gekommen ist, sondern zu retten, was heißt das für uns? Nicht zu urteilen, nicht auszugrenzen, nicht andere ausrichten. Das, liebe Freunde, das kann unser Land verändern, nachhaltig. Vielleicht geht das auch von diesem Abend aus.
And the question [we will be asked at our judgment] will be: Was I someone who condemned [people] rather than saved [them]? John of the Cross said that at the end of our lives, only love counts. What do I expect of this evening? [It’s] so impressive. [I expect] that something will go out into our nation, perhaps truly [starting] from here. If God did not come to condemn but to save, what does this mean for us? Not to judge, not to exclude, not to bring [people] into line. This, dear people, can change our nation, in the long run. Perhaps this is what will come out of this evening.
(Source; 24:57-26:15 min mark; our translation.)
It is utterly despicable! Schonborn quotes Christ but manipulates the meaning of His words! Our Lord’s words are, in themselves, full of spirit and life (see Jn 6:64), but Schonborn has diabolically turned them into words of death and damnation because he has used them to confirm sinners in their sins, pretending that since Christ came to save and not to condemn, they will not be condemned. A more diabolical message can hardly be imagined.
For the perverted ceremony at St. Stephen’s Cathedral, sundry homo memorial banners were hung inside the cathedral (i.e. sodomites mourning their deceased partners), while others were spread out on the floor (not visible).

After Schonborn’s hellish sermon, the nose-ring-wearing pretend-woman Thomas Neuwirth stepped up to the microphone. Having placed a grain of incense onto a burning coal, he uttered the following prayer (notice that he does not address it to anyone or anything — he just starts talking):
Gib uns einen wachen Blick, nicht nur hier, sondern auch an allen anderen Orten. Laß uns die Welt und ihre Menschen wirklich wahrnehmen, damit die Verfolgung derer, die ihre Identität anders leben als …
