New Homophiles from Patheos Attack Austen Ruse: See Their Unholy Rage!

Edit: here's an essay by one of the more well-thought of Catholic writers in the blogosphere.  It's notable that he's been attacked by the usual suspects at Patheos.  The referenced essay which appeared in Crisis Magazine, offering well-aimed shots at a group of laicists all-too-outspoken  these days, the "new homophiles".
There is a group of Catholics who experience same-sex attraction. They accept the teachings of the Church on sexual morality. They do not act on their same-sex desires. They are chaste. They live lives of prayer, brotherhood and friendship, along with a sexual chastity that is proper to their station in life. 
You might think that I would loathe these people, hate them, despise them, and want to drive them from the Church. You might think that their desires alone are enough for me to want them to simply disappear from the Church and from society  
You might think this if you read Damon Linker on my recent column about the New Homophiles. You might think so if you read the comments of blogger Mark Shea, who said my column was “appalling” and much worse. You might think so if you read the comments by Maggie Gallagher who said my column was “vile.”
Some other prominent supporters of Neocatholic bloggers have even announced their disapproval on Facebook.


Their rage on behalf of the "love that dare not speak its name", may has also brought denunciations like the following.

Perhaps things are looking up?  We've often said that people in the Neocatholic blogosophere are some of our best allies if we only give them a chance to hang themselves.

If 'gayness' is a gift, then why be chaste?

'Homophile,' what nonsense.

Perversion must be hated; it is deeply injurious to the person and the common good. The very stones cry out to heaven.

I'm confused. What is a neoCatholic? I thought they were politically-conservative quislings.

I wouldn't put Shea in that rabbit hole, so I'm thinking I don't know what they are?

Mark Shea is an irrelevant new order religion schill.

The God-haters, commies, and their symps daily get more bizarre.

I'm sure that Mark Shea must be a homophile, due to his clear admiration of Fr. Robert Sirico (homosexual) of the Acton Institute.

A group of Catholic Monks has revealed that the Catholic Church will split in two Churches this year, Because Pope Francis is preparing approval of homosexual marriage during the Synod of Bishops scheduled for October 2015.

Half of the Catholics will have Fatima Portugal as Capital, and the other will remain in Rome.

Then a war will start...

Shocking news:

Leftist revolutions always eat their own. Let the cannibalism begin.

It's an understated way of calling him a Modernist, which he is.

Tancred said...

And Shea has been an apparent "conservative" but in many ways embraces subtle or not-so-subtle leftist positions while insisting that political definitions aren't important.

The Catholic Church has been split in 2 since 1965.Many of us weren't even born when this started.Myself,I hold the sedevacantiat position.Daily I pray for the church to re-unite to her former glory pre-1951.

What is a Patheos???

Liam Ronan said...

"We had the 'impression' it was the Holy Father". These are Sister Lucia's words when commenting on the Third Secret of Fatima.

Why merely an 'impression' that the Bishop in white was the pope? Surely something in those words bears pondering long and hard.

Those same "monks" said Rome would be destroyed on May 13 2013.

Take your end times fanaticism back to the protestant hole you crawled out of..

A lot of these homophile neo-Catholics are also big fat gluttons. It's funny how gluttony and sins against chastity seem to follow each other.

These neo-Catholics are extremely worldly and carnal, whenever I listen to their lectures (e.g. Bible studies or theology) they always make jokes about rock n roll music they listen to (e.g. Rolling Stones aka Aliester Crowley groupies), jokes about donating money to them so they can buy a new sports car, and really creepy sex jokes. You don't feel and reverence, faith, or spirituality when listening to these guys, it feels secular/atheist. On the other hand, when I listen to Traditionalist lectures (John Vennari, Oltyn library, etc.) I feel like I'm listening to actual Catholics, even their jokes feel Catholic.

The Neo-Catholic Apologetics Industrial Complex is a plague on Catholicism.

This is explains what a Neo-Catholic is perfectly.

The amazing thing, or not, is how these charlatans....

It's the Wallmart of blogs that has a "faith" section.

And where the bloggers get paid by the click, which only incentivizes them to create posts with crap-storm inducing titles and content.

Listening to Patrick Madrid is liken to a So.Cal Jimmy Buffet fan,who secretly longs to be the next Freud or Jung.

Lol!

Damask Rose said...

Thank you Austen Ruse for calling a spade a spade. It's tiring reading the blogging priests just mentioning that as long as a homosexual doesn't engage in genital acts, etc... it's OK. Some bloggers, even traditionall-leaning ones will defend the 'being homosexual' to the hilt. As long as they don't "act out"...

Why convert anybody?

Funny with this Kasper and Communion for adulterers thing, why don't they say that it's OK to be an adulterer as long as you don't act out... Oh I forgot, if an adulterer can act out and receive Communion; a homosexual who acts out will one day be able to receive Communion too...

TTC said...

Thank you!

Probably a more charitable caricature of Mark than my own convictions of the man.

I have realized the sedevacantists are correct.

Regarding gluttony and unchastity going together:

Don't lose faith friend. We may have an idiot at the helm up the ship, but he is still the captain.

Anonymous said...

Oh I haven't lost faith,actually the opposite.Reading about sedevacantism has led me to be optimistic and reassured the true catholic faith isn't going anywhere!

anti-stupidity said...

It's about on the level of the 'faith' books you see at Wal-mart.

dave b said...

"We may have an idiot at the helm up the ship, but he is still the captain." Is that supposed to sound comforting? Imagine the same statement were about Obama rather than Francis, and think about it. If the guy at the head of the ship is an idiot, then either the Protestants or the Sedevacantists are correct, but Vatican doctrine on the infallibility of the pope is clearly false: Francis has proven that time and again.

Tancred said...

There have been evil, unintelligent and even Popes who seemed feeble minded before.

Anonymous said...

Difference between 'back then' as opposed to 1962-present is the archaic popes didn't mess with liturgy,sacraments,holy orders, etc... (in general)
