I don't think someone who spent over a decade daily committing sins that cry out to heaven for vengeance should hold a position of influence in the Catholic world even if he is repentant. I think he should be learning to be holy, not trying to teach others how to be holy.

Those bringing up Voris' past sins simply for self-gain and for the sake of knocking him down are sinning, probably gravely.

At the same time though, those who would entrust their children or youth to him have a right to know.

ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity is a sin that can be forgiven.  But it is also a mental disorder from which the young must be protected.  It's not safe to trust anyone with any sort of sɛҳuąƖ perversion with children.

This is actually one of the best, most well-rounded posts I've seen you make.

For the person who posted he/she was banned from Lifesite News (or whatever it's called), I have a friend that received an infraction for asking on an allegedly Catholic forum why God would allow priests to sodomize altar boys.  She was told she was speaking disrespectfully about the clergy.

But, it is really quite a risk and courageous to come out and admit that truth on his part, and I think he is owed some credit for that.

Fell for it. But so did Louie Verrechio:

If having a live-in boyfriend and engaging in ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ sins for over 20 years is the new lukewarm, then I guess Amoris Laetitia has had more of an effect on us than I thought!

Why do people assume he's telling the truth about giving up that "lifestyle"? He lied about being a regular Joe-Novus-Ordo Catholic, he lied about being a traditional Catholic, and the timing of his public stances are aligned with major actions from the Vatican.

So here's the real question: how deeply entrenched is the "gαy lobby" satanic sex cult? Provided below is a choice article that hardly anyone noticed during the Pope Benedict Era.

Priest Sex-Abuse Case Hits Church of Pope's Adviser
By Alessandra Pieracci and Giacomo Galeazzi / La Stampa / Worldcrunch Thursday, May 19, 2011

(GENOA) — The latest sex-abuse case to rock the Catholic Church is unfolding in the archdiocese of an influential Italian Cardinal who has been working with Pope Benedict XVI on reforms to respond to prior scandals of pedophile priests.

Father Riccardo Seppia, a 51-year-old parish priest in the village of Sastri Ponente, near Genoa, was arrested last Friday, May 13, on pedophilia and drug charges. Investigators say that in tapped mobile-phone conversations, Seppia asked a Moroccan drug dealer to arrange sɛҳuąƖ encounters with young and vulnerable boys. "I do not want 16-year-old boys but younger. Fourteen-year-olds are O.K. Look for needy boys who have family issues," he allegedly said. Genoa Archbishop Angelo Bagnasco, who is the head of the Italian Bishops Conference, had been working with Benedict to establish a tough new worldwide policy, released this week, on how bishops should handle accusations of priestly sex abuse.

...

According to investigators, Seppia told a friend — a former seminarian and barman who is currently under investigation — that the town's malls were the best places to entice minors. In tapped phone conversations the two cursed and swore against God. The priest is charged with having attempted to kiss and touch an underage altar boy and of having exchanged cocaine for sɛҳuąƖ intercourse with boys over 18.

...

The investigation is ongoing.

And what happened to this filthy beast? Nine years in prison. He's served 4 up to now.

I will supply the next piece of info as the Dailymail is a notoriously shameless rag, but so far it's one of the only outlets covering the story after a year!

Quote

Judge Bossi dismissed his apologies and sentenced him to four years, two months and twenty days for the sex abuse and attempted child prostitution charges and five years and four months for the drug offences, making a total of nine and a half years. He was also fined €28,000 (£22,700).

Be warned before clicking the link, the side stories are filled with impure garbage.

Which means if this man hadn't had any drug charges, he'd be a free man as we speak! They actually gave him more time for drugs than going after psychologically damaged children. This man needs to be put to death.

How about the seminarian in San Diego who was arrested for having sex with - wait for this one as it boggles your mind - infants.  Yes, infants.  

God have mercy on us please.

Where did you get the "Truth" part from?

And who planted the "time-bomb"?  And why?  To discredit traditionals?  Who needs Voris to do that - the neo-Catholics do a fine enough job smearing us all the while being more cold, calculating and phony than any Traditional I have ever met.

It's my deduction. If you look up a certain Father Ricardo Seppia, you might realize how far up it goes. He was one of the advisors to the Pope on Pedophilia! (http://content.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,2072613,00.html?xid=rss-world)

I'm not saying as others do that every single priest, bishop and cardinal is in line with this Satanic garbage, but they have sufficient numbers and influence to do whatever they feel like doing and it's all across the social spectrum right now in case you hadn't noticed. The ones that aren't part of it have chosen to tepidly go along with the crowd instead of martyrdom, and that's pretty much the story throughout the entire Crisis in my opinion.

I'd have to strongly disagree with your statement that the enemies of the Church do more damage out in the open than when they operate secretively. Spies and traitors stand by the heart of their enemy and when they do manage a successful blow, it's far more likely to be fatal. Trust causes us to let our guard down. Perhaps one of the lessons Christ wanted to convey during his Passion was just this. Who do you think wounded him more? The Romans, the Jews, or one of his trusted Apostles? Which one of those initiated the events that lead to the Passion in the first place?

I leave it to you!

Here's the transcript the aftermath response.

The response to the last "Vortex" has no words that would adequately describe it. Incredible, over the top , doesn't matter how it's expressed; it would all sound cliché.

I want to express my deep abiding gratitude for the show of support, kindness and compassion. Thousands of comments, emails and texts have brought me much solace, as well as the staff and close friends of the apostolate. It has been, in a word, overwhelming.

If not all, I have read a huge number of the messages pouring in, and if you would allow me a small reflection on the many beautiful responses.

It seems to me that beyond the specific point of that "Vortex," many people have recognized in it their own stories, albeit with all kinds of different circuмstances, for the most part. They have read, seen and shared or at the very least contemplated either their own story of how merciful God has been, or worked up the fortitude to now reach out to Our Heavenly Father for His mercy. Not such a bad thing in the Year of Mercy.  

Even after forgiveness, there is still the fallen human nature tendency to forget or let the awareness of it fade from our conscious minds. Understandable, again, given the fallenness of our human condition, even in a state of grace. But however understandable, gratitude is a virtue we must always strive to stir up inside ourselves. From gratitude comes joy, because gratitude always keeps the mercy of God before our eyes. All of this fits together.

Just as sin has consequences that have a knock-on effect, so too does being granted mercy and being brought back to the embrace of our Father. The cup is in a constant state of either being filled up, or drained dry, because the life of the soul is dynamic, always in motion. Sometimes it's obvious to us, other times not, but the soul is either drawing closer to God or moving away.

Hearing others' experiences gives the listener a rallying point and something to join his own mind to. If it's bad news, the hearer's mind identifies in that way. If it's good news, then the hearer tends to reflect on good, looking for a way to make the story more of their own. This is a good thing. It's how the "good" news is spread.

On a strictly human level, it's a dim reflection of the Communion of Saints, all of us tapping into that news that is good and then applying it in our own individual circuмstances. Then there is another dynamic at work here which is always present in our work and that of other apostolates that work for the Faith.

It's a fair assessment we can say that many of you tune in to Church Militant because you sense correctly a love of the Catholic Church, which is to say, a love of Our Blessed Lord in His Sacred Bride. This is the primary concern of your lives, as it is ours, that this Church and Her teachings be spread to the farthest regions of the world — but closer to home, that it be spread to the farthest regions of our world, my world — my children, my parents, my siblings, my loved ones, my close friends.

While we objectively want all saved, whom we most want saved are those we know and love and are dearest to us. In that we need encouragement and reinforcement. There's nothing wrong with that and nothing wrong with admitting it. It's the truth.

We are weak and can easily become discouraged and concerned and angst-ridden. That's what happens in a fallen world, and nothing's going to change that. What we collectively recognize in personal accounts of changed lives is that the Holy Catholic Church is God's means of providing grace to get through life.

This life is filled with woes. How apt is the term "valley of tears." We can succuмb to the tears — which is very easy to do and in fact our natural response — or we can start the fight (which never ends until we die) and fight through it. There is a reason it's called the Church Militant. This life is a battle, and everyone likes to see the good guys win. Stories of souls being brought back from the dead are just that: victories that give hope. And the source of that hope is Almighty God's Holy Catholic Church.

So good stories inspire because they are examples of not limiting God. While the thousands of comments of support are wonderful, as we said earlier, beyond words, there is another dynamic at work underneath the surface. We must always act in a way in which we are not limiting God.  

Satan did not want that "Vortex" being aired because, with his angelic intelligence, he recognized the potential for souls to reconnect, the potential for people to revel in their own gratitude for God's mercy. And we should always revel in that.  

When any of us, no matter who and no matter for what, turn back to God, we set off an uproarious party in Heaven — in human terms, of course. In heavenly terms, it's even greater. As we hear in the story of the Prodigal Son, we become the guest of honor. We are given back our baptismal dignity, a fine robe, rings on our fingers, a tremendous feast of the fatted calf, an enormous party, noisemakers, fireworks, great music, a huge celebration.

Satan hates that — and too bad for him. He does his work in the shadows of our deep wounds, always keeping them open, always seeping, never beginning to heal. All of this, all that has happened in response to this past "Vortex," is what's going on here. While so many have expressed such support, all of this is what's in the background, going on just off-stage. And isn't that something to be thankful for? Not limiting God and His goodness.

I too, got blocked by lifesite.news years ago.  Why?  Because my comment was: show me one true bishop, any clergy of the New Order to be pro-life.  There is zero.  How do we know this?  Show me one dioceses that does not give to Catholic charities and such that give the dioceses grant monies.  There is zero.  To take monies from the federal gov't is providing the abortion leftist monies in hidden programs that would never give you the insight that they are abortion/contraception ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity minded.  Dioceses, New Order is communistic/marxist serving not souls, but state and Government.  Pro-life groups have been known to make the New Order clergy look like they are pro-life and sympathetic to the issue to keep up the appearance of a so-called "catholic" group you can align yourself with and monies.  

The response to the last "Vortex" has no words that would adequately describe it. Incredible, over the top , doesn't matter how it's expressed; it would all sound cliché.

I'll say! Quite a boost for you, Ga(r)y! Your hardliner stance against the evil Francis critics is all but forgotten!

I want to express my deep abiding gratitude for the show of support, kindness and compassion. Thousands of comments, emails and texts have brought me much solace, as well as the staff and close friends of the apostolate. It has been, in a word, overwhelming.

Hey another fake self-made apostolate. There's a lot of that going around...

If not all, I have read a huge number of the messages pouring in, and if you would allow me a small reflection on the many beautiful responses.

Oh mercy, mercy me! Another preplanned event for Francis' YOM!

From gαyness comes forgiveness, from forgiveness comes gratitude, from gratitude comes joy! I bet you Gary Michael remembers the joy of being gαy!

Did Archbishop Dolan or Fr. Paul Nicholson write that one for you? Overlong, meandering and meaningless.

So good stories inspire because they are examples of not limiting God. While the thousands of comments of support are wonderful, as we said earlier, beyond words, there is another dynamic at work underneath the surface. We must always act in a way in which we are not limiting God.

Would it be "limiting God" to say he has no time for fake penitents?

Oh but now all Voris' critics are Satan's minions! Wait for it...

A minimum of 23 years of ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity under his belt and he was healed a year before he even stopped doing it! Wow! Well I for one wouldn't even dream of limiting God to strictly using chaste straight men and women to carry on his message when there are a bunch of lying fαɢɢօts just waiting to be put to good use!

George Michael Voris has the faith, the faith, the faith!
