Cardinal McElroy Perverts Conscience to Justify Homosexuality

San Diego homosexualist McElroy, USA, reiterated his support for homosex communion (AmericaMagazine.org, March 2).

Sweeping aside critics saying that he was denying Church teaching and had abandoned "any sense of sin in the sexual realm," he insisted that "conscience" had a privileged place.

So, to circumvent conversion, McElroy imagines that homosex sinners who refuse to renounce sin can instead have an “inner conversations" with their "God" in "discerning" [im]moral choices in "complex circumstances." In the Francis Church, "discernment" is synonymous with "justifying sin."

Contrary to McElroy, Christ says: “Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father” (Mt 7). Conscience is only trained conscience when it follows God’s commandments.

There is a confusion in modern usage. A “gay” or “homosexual” person is as welcome to communion as a someone tempted to gluttony or theft. It is the gluttonous act and the stealing which requires repentance before taking communion. We should always use the (however archaic) word “sodomites” to describe where the church’s prohibition falls.

Perhaps bumper stickers with “sodomy is sodomy” should be part of an effort to clarify things.

Having been an almost victim of a homo priest when in highschool 10 years ago, I personally would not welcome homos into the Church....at all.

The cardinal is a Protestant? McElroy responds to his critics: "While Catholic teaching has an essential role in moral decision-making, it is conscience that has the privileged place. As Pope Francis has stated, the church’s role is to form consciences, not replace them"

For the sake of his soul, McElroy should step down and give up all ministries, since a truth so simple as the grave sinfulness of homosexual acts is something too ''complex'' for his capacity to understand a basic Catholic teaching clearly explained in the New Testament!
