The Conspiracy and promotion is coming from Novous Ordo Priests:
Boston priest puts GLBTQ rainbow flag on Catholic chapel
In our last post, we reported on how Boston priest, Fr. Walter Cuenin, promoted a petition to have the gαy “rainbow” flag cover the Oval Office in Washington, but we learned hours later that we missed some even more scandalous things this priest has done.
For the month of October, Fr. Cuenin has had what he describes as “an enormous gαy pride flag” displayed outside the chapel to “recognize both Lesbian, gαy, BisɛҳuąƖ, Transgender and Queer History Month. A photo is below.
Here is what Fr. Cuenin had to say about this in an interview with the Brandeis student newspaper, The Justice:
In an interview with the Justice, Rev. Walter Cuenin, the University’s Catholic chaplain and coordinator of the Interfaith Chaplaincy, explained the chapel’s display and its significance in detail. He described the flag right beside the chapel as an “enormous gαy pride flag.” He also mentioned that a pink cloth covers the altar and added that there are also pink candles in the chapel. Cuenin said that he wanted students to be aware of issues regarding discrimination pertaining to the LGBTQ community and breast cancer awareness and research.
Cuenin acknowledged that a priest hanging an LGBTQ pride flag outside of the chapel might be a bit of a surprise, stating that many believe “a priest would never do that,” given the Catholic Church’s stance that ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity is morally wrong. He said he feels deeply that there needs to be more focus on how people act outside of the Church as opposed to good deeds and social activism being confined to the Church.
As we all know the gαy rainbow flag is a symbol of “gαy pride” and LGBT social movements. This is commonly associated with gαy pride parades and gαy pride weeks, where the following is typically on display:
Sado-masochism
Profanity and vulgarity, much of it in an angry tone
ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ sex; condoms and anal lubricant given out almost everywhere
Horrible “gαy” diseases and psychological problems
The problem of “gαy” domestic violence
Hatred of traditional religion, particularly Catholicism
Perversions such as cross-dressing and transsɛҳuąƖ body mutilation
An obsession with children and teenagers
This is what Fr. Cuenin promoted outside the church in October. One article reports that when one enters the church, inside the foyer year-round he also proudly displays a multicolored gαy pride flag, while this article says he has the rainbow flag inside the chapel. The article continues, “Father Cuenin is also a official LGBT ally on campus, through his work with Trisk (Brandeis’ GLBTQA student group). He also continuously makes himself available and accessible to struggling students in his role as a confidential resource. This article says, “Father Cuenin has always displayed a rainbow peace flag inside the chapel, as a statement that the chapel is friendly to people of all sɛҳuąƖities. That will continue to be the case when the pride flag outside is taken down at the end of the month. Cuenin also commented that he takes his role as a confidential resource on campus very seriously, and hopes that more students will feel welcome to talk with him as a result of these displays.”
There are so many things wrong with what is going on there, it is tough to express in words. How can a Catholic priest be allowed to promote “gαy pride” and gravely sinful, immoral behavior and remain in active ministry? Imagine a 17 or 18-year-old child away from home for the first time who might be confused about their sɛҳuąƖ identity going to talk to Fr. Cuenin for a Catholic perspective–and instead of hearing about how Christ calls them to chastity and holiness, they see the gαy pride flag there with a Catholic priest advocating for the gαy lifestyle and the sinful, disordered, medically unsafe behaviors that are a part of it. (The matter of the pink cloth on the altar for the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and using the altar to advance his own ideology and agenda is an entirely different issue).
This crap from Fr. Cuenin has been going on for at least 12-15 years, if not longer. His public testimony to the Mass Legislature in 2002 opposing a ban on “gαy marriage” should have gotten him permanently removed from ministry then. Write to the following people and ask for his immediate removal.
