O my God, I believe, I adore, I hope and I love Thee. I ask pardon for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope and do not love Thee.

Most Holy Trinity - Father, Son and Holy Spirit - I adore Thee profoundly.

I offer Thee the most precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all the tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges and indifferences whereby He is offended. And through the infinite merits of His Most Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of Thee the conversion of poor sinners.

O my Jesus, I offer this for love of Thee, for the conversion of sinners, and in reparation for the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fire of Hell, lead all souls to Heaven, especially those who have most need of Thy mercy.

DITTO!

MHR Removes from online Bulletin - "Delta's" "Thank you Note" & MHR in the News-FINALLY!

The "Thank You Note" was prominently over the 'thank you blurb' to the Young Adult Group for assisting in the Castro Street Fair. It now appears that the 'October Count' has replaced the 'The Thank Note'....but that's not enough folks imho! Something more than that is going to have to happen!

Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence - Folsom

"Over the years, the Sisters have awarded several thousand dollars in grants to a number of religious-based groups, including Catholic ones. We also actively supported Most Holy Redeemer church, the Castro neighborhood's local Catholic parish, until a very vocal minority of Catholics (most of whom lived outside of California) forced Most Holy Redeemer to cancel our rental agreement with them. Their ignorance about who the Sisters are and how we serve the community cost Most Holy Redeemer a considerable amount of monthly income and had the unfortunate side effect of driving many of their parishioners away from the Church."

Fr. Malloy, I know where some people are going this weekend...The SF Gay Pride Parade 2007(general parade info.) is scheduled for this weekend and the list of participants (PARADE LINE-UP LIST-***as of today MHR is only CATHOLIC PARISH/CHURCH LISTED) can be found all over the internet.

Let's start here:

Most Holy Redeemer (SF Archdiocese):

Bulletin for June 17, 2007: FULLY participating in the SF Gay Pride Parade 2007 events-

Thurs. June 21st -"Young Adult Group (Pride Parade Dance Rehearsal) in Ellard Hall"

Sat. June 23 "Pride Weekend. MHR AIDS Support Group Beverage Booth near the Main Stage in Civic Center.10 am Gardening in the Garden 12:30 pm Young Adult Group (Parade Signs/Posters Making) in Ellard Hall"

Sunday (Solemnity of The Birth of St. John the Baptist) - June 24 "Pride Weekend. After the 10 am Mass - MHR Pride Parade Contingent Send Off. No Sunday Coffee Hour."

"More Pride Beverage Booth Volunteers Are Needed to help staff our ASG Beverage Booth next Saturday, June 23 in Civic Center. This is a great fundraising opportunity for us. We have a (Look at the "scandalous line-up of entertainment displayed nearby") super location next to the Main Stage and need lots of volunteers to be successful. Shifts are only two hours and will not conflict with the Parade on Sunday. Please sign-up in Ellard Hall after the 10 am Mass on Sunday, or give us a call at 415-863-1581."

They are not only participating but they have a booth located in a prominent and well seen location FOR ALL TO SEE! AND NOW THAT IT WILL BE 'BROADCAST' via the internet - "An estimated 850 million people around the world with Internet access will be able to watch the parade live for the first time. Webcasts are on Clear Channel's LGBT network at http://www.shakeradio.com/ and on KRON 4 at http://www.kron4.com/.

I pray that those who will read this post will contact the Archdiocese and those in authority-requesting that the Archdiocese ask all participating parishes to remove their PARISH/"CATHOLIC" banners from this event.

One more thing...

How awesome is IT that an 85 yr. old priest can alert and keep his sheep from being devoured by wolves?

SF-Most Holy Redeemer AGAIN!

Well it went over the airwaves. Now we can hear what actually took place:TRANSCRIPT - 'PRAYER SERVICE'
AUDIO - 'PRAYER SERVICE'
~+++~+++~+++~
This from LifeSite news-San Francisco Archdiocese on BBC "Gay Mass": It was not a Mass and We Didn't Endorse it. On Alison's website he does state that it was a prayer service-see Forthcoming events- 29 April and in the MHR Bulletin online.

Maurice Healy, Communications Director for the Archdiocese, however, was adamant that what will be broadcast is neither a Mass nor endorsed by the Archdiocese.

Healy told LifeSiteNews.com, "The event was not, repeat not a 'gay mass' it was a prayer service organized by Jesuit father Donal Godfrey."

Healy said, "I'm told that he organized it. It was not an archdiocesan function and the
archdiocese was not aware of the BBC broadcast."

I knew about this earlier last week and was waiting to find out the time(U.S.) to listen to the program. I also wondered when someone would write an article about the event.

Found it-The worst part "The service was recorded in October and will be broadcast at 8:10am GMT (3:10 AM CENT) on Sunday on BBC Radio 4."

Since it was recorded back in October that would be around the same time that the SPI's were planning their "Bingo" games too.I'm not sure that you should call it a gay Mass.

It's not, but it's a huge prep rally endorsing the behavior and not condemning the sin. We can LOVE the sinner but NOT the sin!

Where was the pastor-Father Stephen Meriweather? hmmm?

"Fr. Donal Godfrey SJ of the University of San Francisco presides with James Alison preaching". I can't seem to verify his credentials...many places say that he is a theologian, priest, and of course author and speaker.

One place mentions that he 'spent time with the Dominicans--what would that mean? Does he have faculties?So what does 'preside' mean and 'preaching' mean if it was just a 'prayer service'?

And if it was a prayer service why was this distributed: "The 50-minute Mass at the Most Holy Redeemer Catholic Church in the predominantly gay Castro district of the city will feature prayers and readings tailored for the gay community."

Where would they get that time? Although, they could have gotten that from the BBC as the length/time of the radio program.But a 'veil tip' to Spirit Daily for the news item-BBC to broadcast gay mass from San Francisco

More on the situation:BBC defends broadcast of gay Mass

Of course he's (CD-Wrath and the gay question: on not being afraid, and its ecclesial shape) a favorite among the Sisters of Mercy-Mount St. Agnes Theological Center for Women in Baltimore, Maryland....don't even get me started again!

Here's the talk on his site:Wrath and the gay question: on not being afraid, and its ecclesial shapeAnd apparently he visited MHR-SF last year in Feb. 2006:Is it ethical to be Catholic? – Queer perspectivesA short documentaryAudio-Video

USCCB & Update-MHR in San Francisco

As the USCCB wraps up their fall session with their documents...

(Bishop Bruskewitz was awesome--he reminded the conference of their place in the Church-

see "The Role of the Bishop's Conference")

Problems continue to brew again....Fr. Stephen Meriwether RETURNS!

Welcome Back, Fr. Steve!
Fr. Steve returns for good this week from

his stint in Minnesota!

Welcome home!

"Veil Tip" to--The Lair of the Catholic Cavemen & Curt Jester to see if the scandalous pictures (Gay Pride Parade 2006) are removed from their site.

Look at their resources site. While I was awaiting Fr. Meriwether's (quick) return I happened upon this "lovely" article. Read what he thinks (2004) in interview-

Cross purposes - "The Vatican is about to issue a new directive condemning homosexuality and keeping gay priests out of the Catholic Church. In San Francisco, that would threaten one of the most vibrant Catholic parishes. "

(funny how timely this is today and obviously, the bishop's document today doesn't effect Fr. or the S.F. archdiocese either!)

On MHR:

For some, "Mass" became an ironically named, long-running Sunday-evening dance
party – and a religious experience of another kind.

[snip]

But since the ascension of Pope Benedict XVI this spring, and the move of San Francisco's Archbishop William Levada to Rome, the future of gays in the Catholic Church, and at Most Holy Redeemer, is very much in question. The new pope's record "has been one of unrelenting, venomous hatred for gay people," said Matt Foreman, head of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force. And that, coupled with the uncertainty of whom Pope Benedict will appoint to replace Levada as archbishop of San Francisco, has some MHR parishioners worried. "Now, more anxiety," Hopke said. "The new archbishop is like a 'gulp,' The pool of candidates is so conservative. I think we're going to have some tough times ahead."

[snip]

I guess they haven't been tough enough....the times that is...Most Rev. George H. Niederauer, D.D., Ph. D what is happening?

[snip]

Still, on a recent Sunday morning, Hopke and his group were in front of the Blessed Virgin Mother statue in the bright sunlight. More people were arriving. "God's inclusive love proclaimed here," the parish bulletin said. They clumped in groups of three or four on the sidewalk. Chatting. Laughing. Before mass, at the top of the big stairs leading to the sanctuary, Meriwether stood greeting the arrivals. The parishioners renovated the building in 2000 and rearranged the sanctuary so it would seem less daunting. The pews now surround the altar on three sides so the priest can stand out in the middle of the congregation.

[snip]

Most Holy Redeemer's organizers say that about two thirds of the 900-member congregation is gay or lesbian. Almost all the members are people who call themselves "cradle Catholics," people who were brought up in the Church.
But many, usually when they started thinking of themselves as gay, drifted away.
Now, they say, they've come back because Most Holy Redeemer welcomes them.

[snip]

"Which of course frightens even people at MHR. They're always wondering, 'When is it going to happen to us?" " Meriwether told me. "Because they can't be happy with us.... I think the diocese would like to see us keep a very low profile.... What does that mean, you're supposed to crawl under a rock? You can't ask people to do that. It's a very ambivalent attitude."

Meriwether thinks that even though the Vatican's policy on gay priests hasn't been released yet, "what they're saying is that if you're willing to deny it, then that's OK."
What the archdiocese could easily do, Meriwether said, is to muzzle the congregation by forbidding members to march in the gay pride parade, which they do every June, and by forbidding them to place their advertising in gay newspapers like the Bay Area Reporter. By making them less visible, it could push MHR's parishioners back toward the closet and again make the people whom the Church drove away once, painfully reconsider their decision to come back. And it could cause those people a lot of pain.

"Most Holy Redeemer is a real flash point for conservative Catholics," Meriwether said.

[snip]

If the archdiocese came down hard on Most Holy Redeemer, how would he feel? "Very compromised.... As pastor, yes, you have to uphold the teaching and the discipline of the Church, but you also have to be a father to your parishioners," he said. Would Most Holy Redeemer be closed entirely? Ironically, because MHR isn't financially successful, that seems unlikely. Meriwether said that, at least in part because, unlike Saint Brigid, which had about $750,000 in its bank account when it was closed, MHR still owes for the 2000 renovation – about a million dollars.

It does not appear to me that they have been shut down at all!

And the real reason it won't get shut down.....$$$$!

WHERE ARE OUR LEADERS-OUR SHEPHERDS?

HAVE MERCY LORD! LORD HAVE MERCY!

More on the S.F. "Busted Bingo"

If it weren't enough that this was almost going to take place...one more horrendous item found-according to this event announcement--Fr. Meriwether's parish MHR benefited from the first "Bingo" event: "Our first beneficiary will be the Sisters' Grant Fund and Ellard Hall."

Bingo bust: The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of San Francisco

Scroll down...

The infamous devotees in drag have been calling out the numbers at the church's Ellard Hall for the last two months, but when church higher-ups learned of the game, they pulled the plug. Maybe it was the Sisters' past spats with the church over their annual Easter bash. Or maybe the emcee who was supposed to work bingo that night -- "Peaches Christ" -- was just too much. Whatever the case, the church isn't talking except to say that the game is out of the hall. Sister Barbie Mitzvah, chair-nun of the bingo bash, said the group was "stunned and deeply saddened" by the ouster.

More-Not All Publicity Is Good Publicity

Unfortunately, some people caught wind of the fact that they were holding it in the fellowship hall of Most Holy Redeemer Catholic Church -- and notified the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, which has a long history in regards to the Sisters. As a result, it seems, the Archdiocese of San Francisco has has put the kibosh on using the church hall, just in time for the November 2nd event.

I don't see anything here. So I guess the faithful Catholics on the internet might have "caught the fire of the Holy Spirit" and made the difference--starting with Mark Shea and his reader that alerted him of the upcoming events (See-Thursday, 10-26-06) "Unleash the Power of the Blog" ....but shhhhhhhh!! We have to be quiet while we go about the FATHER'S BUSINESS!

[snip]

Losing the venue is bad enough. However, according to my phone call, the likelihood is high that the event will be canceled -- not just because of the loss of venue, but because the event is apparently being used for negative pre-election publicity.

Nah....don't think so...but you could be right since Mrs. Pelosi is a friend to this area....hmmmm...maybe the word was put out there..."don't stir up the Christians"!?

[snip]

I'll update with further details as I receive them.

I will do the same! You can count on it!

Archdiocese of S.F. Stops "Revival Bingo"

(See "Denial of Sin" previous post below-10-27-06)

Statement by the Archdiocese of San Francisco:
Permission to use Ellard Hall should not have been given to the group. The Archdiocese of San Francisco has directed the parish to end the arrangement immediately. For years the group has directed contempt and ridicule at Catholic faith and practices. The particular targets of the group's derision are women in religious communities, for whom Catholics, and many non-Catholics,have a special reverence and respect.

Your Excellency,
Please speak with Rev. Stephen Meriwether-Chancellor of your archdiocese and Pastor of Most Holy Redeemer Church in regards to the sinful, scandalous, and deplorable event Revival Bingo scheduled for Nov. 2 on the MHR property-Ellard Hall. A group well-known locally, nationally, and internationally Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence (SPI) is scheduled to use this property to hold a charity fund raiser this week and is currently scheduled for Dec. 7th. (they also used the property last month Sept.7) and apparently the Ellard Hall/Church property has been used before (6-21-2003) for another function http://www.sfhustlers.com/events.html--"Switch Hitters Ball".

I am so very scandalized by this behavior and ashamed that such deplorable and blasphemous actions would take place where the presence of OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST RESIDES--the Tabernacle-IN HIS TEMPLE! I plan to alert the Vatican, the USCCB, and others of this unseemly and scandalous behavior against the BODY OF CHRIST.

I ask that you please inform Fr. Meriwether to cease and desist this type of use of diocesan property and in fraternal charity/correction please advise him NOT to participate in the scandalous behavior recently demonstrated in a Gay Pride Parade held this past Spring (2006). He presents confusion not only to his "flock" but to the rest of the world in these pictures displayed on the MHR home web-pages: http://www.mhr.org/pride2006.html. I also beg that these images be removed from the public domain of the inter-net as they too present great scandal and offense to the Body of Christ-good Catholics and holy priests. This behavior also gives our priests great sorrow and anguish as they currently defend their vocations (Priesthood Sunday). I also request action to be demonstrated to the faithful that this scandalous behavior or any other scandalous behavior will not again occur in the future in your archdiocese. Please know that lay Catholics world-wide await and pray for an immediate response and correction to this situation.
Thank you for your time.
In Christ,
XXXXX

I can only hope and pray that these events will not continue to occur in this diocese or this country! GOD HAVE MERCY!
