"Catholic Franciscan magazine promotes dissident Fr. James Martin, pro-LGBT writings"

"A Catholic magazine published by Franciscan Media is promoting heterodox LGBT content, including writing from the notoriously pro-LGBT Father James Martin, S.J.

St. Anthony Messenger, which publishes both in print and online, promoted content from Martin advising parents to 'accompany' their children in their homosexuality as well as content defending the indecent, infamous 2024 pre-Olympics drag queen scene that was eventually confirmed to be a deliberate mockery of the Last Supper.

In an interview with the Messenger, asked what a parent should do if their child 'comes out' to them as gay, Martin rightly advised that they should 'love' their children, but he suggested that they also accept their homosexuality, without any mention of the need to convey the immorality of homosexual behavior. 'Always communicate your love and acceptance,' Martin wrote.

Later in the interview, he said concerning passages about homosexuality in Scripture, 'remember that Catholics are not fundamentalists.' He alleged that 'when it comes to homosexuality, suddenly we’re all fundamentalists,' as if suggesting that passages condemning homosexuality as violation of God’s law are not meant to be taken literally.

Martin then urged his readers to pattern themselves after Christ’s interactions with people 'on the margins,' such as the Samaritan woman 'in an irregular sexual relationship.' However, he completely failed to point out that Christ called sinners to repentance, only saying that Christ 'listens to them, accompanies them, and loves them.'"
