The Pope has written his third supportive letter to LGBTQQIAAP2S+ advocate Father James Martin, promising him prayers for the success of an upcoming Pride conference.

Pope Francis sent his greetings to attendees at the Outreach LGBTQ Catholic Ministry Conference, due to be held at Fordham University, in New York City from June16 to 18. 

In a handwritten letter to his fellow jesuit and editor of Outreach, the Pope praised him for “all his good work” and promised his “prayers and good wishes” to all the participants of the conference.

The pontiff wrote: “I send my best regards to the members of the meeting at Fordham University. You and all who are working at the Outreach Conference are in my prayers and good wishes.”

Breitbart reports: As he has done on other occasions, the pope praised Father Martin for “all the good you are doing.”

“Thank you, thank you for your witness,” he added.

The pope’s handwritten letter is dated May 6, 2023, and refers specifically to the Outreach LGBTQ Catholic Ministry Conference to be held at Fordham University from June 16 to 18.

This is the third such letter Pope Francis has sent to Father Martin. On a previous occasion, he thanked Father Martin for his “pastoral zeal” while commending him for imitating the “style of God.”

Pope Francis has also met personally with Father Martin in two separate private audiences at the Apostolic Palace in the Vatican, “where the two discussed ministry to LGBTQ Catholics,” Father Martin notes.

Last year, Father Martin declared that churches have a special duty to celebrate Gay Pride since much anti-gay violence has been “motivated by religion.”

Participating in Pride events during June is one way to live out the Catholic Catechism’s call to treat homosexuals with respect, he proposed.

Catholics should celebrate Pride Month, he said, because Gay Pride is “a celebration of the human dignity of a group of people who have been for so long treated like dirt.”

“It’s especially important for churches to celebrate Pride, since a great deal of the rejection and even violence that the LGBTQ community has faced has been motivated by religion, or at least what people think religion teaches,” the Jesuit stated.

Just last week, Father Martin asserted that celebrating Gay Pride is compatible with devotion to the Sacred Heart because both teach us about the love of Jesus.

“In June, Catholics celebrate the Month of the Sacred Heart,” Father Martin said. “LGBTQ people celebrate Pride Month. LGBTQ Catholics celebrate both. One shows us how Jesus loves. The other shows us whom Jesus calls us to love today.”

While enjoying special protection from Pope Francis, Father Martin has come under fire from other Catholic prelates for affirming people in their immoral sexual behavior rather than calling them to repentance and conversion.

In 2018, for example, Archbishop Charles Chaput called Father Martin out for speaking of “LGBTQ Catholics,” as if people’s sexual proclivities define their identity as persons.

“There is no such thing as an ‘LGBTQ Catholic’ or a ‘transgender Catholic’ or a ‘heterosexual Catholic,’ as if our sexual appetites defined who we are,” Chaput said, “as if these designations described discrete communities of differing but equal integrity within the real ecclesial community, the body of Jesus Christ.”

  1. That’s no pope. It’s a satan!c communist posing as a pope Bella Dodd blew the whistle on last century. Predators purposely placed in the church to destroy Christianity.

    NOT TODAY SATAN…not today.

  2. Well it’s difficult to accept dramatic reversal of direction from the old institutions without suspicion. It goes against a lifetime of thinking but in reality I always thought that really Jesus and God would both not hate gay people really and would be compassionate too. And understanding
    It’s not like eating the forbidden fruit like Adam and Eve did and its not breaking the 10 commandments like most people do all the time, many for a living.
    So I’m warming to the Pope who just might be actually making some very good changes to modernise the Church

    • And I will explain my thinking.
      1 the Vatican knows perfectly well that in fact if it hadn’t been fir the mainly gay monks throughout the dark ages holding the Fort so to speak and dedicating their lives to the Church and preserving all the documents and knowledge there quite likely would be no Christianity at all.
      And
      2 they know homosexuality increases proportionate to population density and I’m pretty certain they are goung to concentrate population into cities Shutting down farms will close down regional towns will drive more people into the cities for work and so density will increase dramatically
      So people need to be tolerant and they’re nasty creatures so they need to know they better be good or else.
      Bottom line

  3. The Pope and the LGBTQ live life solely for Personal Pleasure.
    The Pope is a Heretic

  4. Pope Francis was not the original Bergoglio, he is a look-a-like playing him. As is often done with the illuminati. They kidnap and replace people in positions of Power. They did it to many. They are the oldest identity thieves.
    This one was a bus driver in Argentina. That is why he often talks about his early days of “riding buses”. It is a cover story to hide what he really did: the job of a Bus driver. It is all he knows of his early days. He is a stooge, a puppet and a Satanist. His predecessor, Pope Benedict was a Luciferian. This fake doppelganger, Bergoglio, is only a millionaire. All billionaires can only be satanists, once you become a billionaire like Benedict you Absolutely must become an illuminati, a Luciferian. Why then did he retire and hide? Because they are luciferian they need secrecy and all hide from the public, because when they are with other people it is obvious what they really are. They have no limits to the evil they do, they have no self control. Their sadism goes well beyond any boundaries human beings would find acceptable. When they do these evil things their true form manifests they shape shift into the reptilian looking demonic entities they really are. That is the truth.
    When Jonbenet Ramsey’s father went from Satanist millionaire to Billionaire, on that very day she died.
    All Luciferians must sacrifice their child, usually the first born child to Lucifer.
    Many Satanists also have done the same.
    Elon Musk’s first born died.
    Mariah Carey had a baby at 14, (that one was sacrificed) her family are satanists, as her sister has testified.
    That is what Justin Bieber is talking about when he says “they want my Baby”.
    Marilyn Monroe had a few babies, they were all sacrificed to Satan.
    She was the girlfriend of Anton Szandor LaVey, (Stanley Levy) who wrote the satanic bible and opened the first satanic Temple in California, on Rothschild owned property (their vineyard) His other girlfriends at the same time were: Ava Gabor, and Jayne Mansfield. The only one that was not murdered was Ava Gabor who is jewish. In the end they kill off all the goy satanists, in every cult. Usually In horrible and satanic hellish ways.
    They have taken over the world now. They took over the Vatican, and every religion at the top.
    Even the Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim religions.
    Only in the poor and among the poor are there true children of God.
    “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.”
    “What does it profit a man to gain all the wealth and power in the world if it is at the cost of his soul?”
    Jesus was not sent to earth to become the tool of Satan as much as Satan tempted Him in the wilderness, Jesus refused. Be Christlike or face a horrible alternative afterlife. Reject the money that comes out of the luciferians’ prison without walls =the private jewish banks.
