A dastardly topic, but worth reviewing.Here's a story about a little Scottish, Jesuit queer, pioneer. (I hope you'll agree, he couldn't have been Irish 
).Note: This photo is from the 1980s, but check-out the demonic hand-signs, that mean: 'I Love You Satan'.
Pioneer gαy Priest's Story "Taking a Chance on God" Docuмents Life of Fr. John McNeillTaking A Chance on God, a new docuмentary on the life of gαy pioneer priest John McNeill is screening at festivals around the world. The film highlights McNeill’s role as hero and pioneer of the international LGBT civil rights movement. An inspiring portrait, Taking a Chance on God follows the extraordinary life of 86-year-old John McNeill from his Buffalo, NY boyhood through his experiences as a POW in nαzι Germany, Vietnam peace promoter, leading LGBT-equality advocate, and loving partner of 46 years to Charles Chiarelli. McNeill, the author of groundbreaking works of gαy spirituality, founder of the LGBT Catholic group Dignity/New York, and a gαy community leader during the AIDS crisis of the 1980s, refused to be silenced by the Vatican on LGBT issues, which resulted in his expulsion from the priesthood. Chronicling McNeill’s love for the Catholic Church, the LGBT community, his Jesuit brothers, and his partner, Taking a Chance on God is a powerful story of faith, love and perseverance in the face of oppression and rejection.McNeill’s groundbreaking writings, including his 1976 book The Church and ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ, have been translated into many languages and inspired the founding of Dignity/USA, an influential organization for LGBT Catholics. This year, five Dignity chapters are celebrating 40 years of ministry with LGBT Catholics, including New York, Chicago, Boston, Washington DC, and San Diego.In 1977 and in 1983, McNeill was silenced for speaking and writing on issues of ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, currently Pope Benedict XVI. For “pertinacious disobedience” to this order of silence, McNeill was eventually expelled from the Jesuit order in April 1987___________________________________________________________________________________________________________If you check the web on this Priestly queer pioneer, you can see the Judaic media has put a lot of resources into promoting his "Luv' ministry. He is destined for newChurch sainthood.

It seems, the 470 year English phrase from William Turner, in his book Rescuing of Romish Fox is appropriate: "Byrdes of on kynde and color flok and flye allwayes together."
