Leo XIV Promotes US Bishop - Fan of James Martin and Fiducia Supplicans
Born January 15, 1974, in the Dominican Republic, Rodriguez became a Salesian of Don Bosco and was ordained a priest on July 3, 2004. He is currently the parish priest at Our Lady of Sorrows Church in Queens, in the Diocese of Brooklyn.
Monsignor Rodriguez became a U.S. citizen in 2018. He has regularly been revealing his thoughts on Twitter since 2014.
Staunch Loyalist of Wonderful Francis
He is a priest āwho loves Pope Francis and defends immigrantsā.
According to him, Francisā writings were amazing, beautiful, crystal clear and straight to the point.
March 2024, ā11 years of the Pope of Mercy today: how many blessings bestowed upon us all through his ministry! How many people welcomed back to the Church! How many wrongs fixed! How much justice done! May God keep & protect him for many years to come. Long live the Pope!ā
September 2024 about a papal travel: āOur heroic Holy Father going above and beyond spreading the light of the Gospel everywhere: wonderful!ā
January 22, 2025: āThe Catholic Church will never abandon the immigrants: weāll stand for them at any cost.ā
On March 13, 2025 he wrote about Francis: āTHANK YOU LORD for such an amazing journey of rebuild, mercy, radical love & encouragement to open our hearts. May God keep & preserve our beloved Roman Pontiff for many years to come!ā
Needless to say that Monsignor Rodgriguez called the death penalty for criminal āagainst Godā, praised the rise of pagan religions in Cuba and had āno Dubiaā about Amoris Laetitia accepting adultery.
āVery Happy That Pope Francis Supports James Martin SJā
Several posts on Twitter shared posts from the homosexual activist James Martin SJ.
December 9, 2018, on pictures of a homosexual Eucharist published by Fr Martin: āThe Church is always to welcome all those interested in having Jesus as the Lord of their lives within the Catholic tradition, which includes believing in community life as an essential component of practicing the faith. I hope those āLGBT Massesā donāt become āCatholic ghettosā.ā
After Francis received Fr Martin in September 2019, Fr Rodriguez wrote: āIām very happy that our Holy Father is publicly supporting James Martin SJ.ā
March 2021, after James Martin praised the appointed of homosexual activist Juan Carlos to a Vatican panel: āThis decision clearly shows that thereās nothing against LGTBQ people in the current Holy Seeās conduction of Churchās governance. Good for the Pope.ā
āFiducia Supplicans is Sign of Motherly Love for Homosexualsā
After Pope Francis published the pamphlet 'Fiducia supplicans', allowing the āblessingā of homosexuals, Monsignor Rodriguez endorsed it.
December 24, 2023: āThe recent declaration Fiducia Supplicans is a sign of the motherly love which defines the Church: as the late Bishop Mugavero of Brooklyn once said, even people with same-sex inclinations āalways remain our childrenāā¦ā
January 10, 2024, commenting on criticism by Cardinal Robert Sarah on Fiducia supplicans: āThe problem with positions such as that of Cardinal Sarah is that they donāt even bother in trying to find an effective solution to the complexities of the pastoral challenges posed by the same-sex unions & other moral issues proper of our time.ā
January 17, 2024: āSooner or later Fiducia Supplicans will be accepted in most parts of the Church everywhere, because it is both in line with our doctrine and respectful to peopleās dignity. A Church that is not synodal ( = everyone is heard) remains far from Jesusā ways.ā
January 27, 2024: āThereās no confusion here: Pope Francis: āBless the persons, not the unionā.ā
February 28, 2024: āA non-liturgical blessing is rooted in a personās dignity as a child of the Lord: no one acting in good faith should be deprived of it, even while living in an irregular couple situation. God never leaves sinners out of his care.ā
