CATHOLICS ARE SLOWLY BEING POISONED

The preaching of homosexual clerics has serious consequences

Most Catholics cannot cogently explain to their children or their non-Catholic friends why the Catholic Church doctrinally and scripturally does not approve of homosexual behavior. One reason for this is that 80 percent or more of American-born bishops and priests, like Catholic clergy in European countries such as Spain, are documented to be homosexually oriented.

The increase in homosexual priests and religious in the U.S. over the past sixty years has contributed to a forty-three percent decline in priests, and an 80 percent drop in the number of nuns. Just as straight young men don’t go to gay bars, straight Catholic young men do not want to study at seminaries or serve in institutions populated mainly by homosexuals. Even though it is hardly ever discussed, so too do heterosexually oriented women not want to join religious orders in which the majority of nuns are lesbians.

Around sixty years ago, a very devout, charismatic young woman received permission to establish an order of women religious in a particular diocese. The order grew until the foundress developed cancer and had to take leave to undergo treatment outside the small rural diocese. In her absence, the homosexually oriented bishop was instrumental in having a lesbian nun appointed the mother superior of that order. When the foundress returned after her cancer was arrested, the bishop wanted the lesbian nun to continue serving as the mother superior. Not wishing to work under the lesbian nun, the foundress left the order along with half of its members. From that moment onward, not one new postulant joined the order which is now facing extinction.

Interestingly, no one seems to want to address how most of the nuns who are lobbying for the ordination of women are lesbians, just like the majority of bishops and priests who oppose optional priestly celibacy are gay. As long as Roman Catholic priests are not afforded the option to marry like Eastern Rite priests, homosexual clergy can continue living safely in the closet, often violating their promise of celibacy, while fooling Catholic laity into believing that they sacrificed having a wife and children to follow Christ.

According to researcher Randy Engel, author of The Rite of Sodomy: Homosexuality and the Roman Catholic Church, “The clerical homosexualization of the Church began more than 100 years ago…at the turn of the 20^th century, with the O’Connell and Spellman lineage. This colonization followed the rise of the secular homosexual movement in the US and abroad.” The Rite of Sodomy exposes sexual predators like Chicago Cardinal Joseph Bernardin, San Francisco homosexual Archbishop John Quinn, and countless other sexually active gay prelates. Engel’s writings are similar to published research and books by the late psychotherapist, researcher, and author, Richard Sipe. Interestingly, Sipe, with whom I collaborated, lived close to me in Southern California, where I resided for 17 years, and Engel lives close to me in Pennsylvania, where I recently returned after being gone for 43 years. If you were to watch Sex, Lies, and the Priesthood (which I highly recommend), you would see how my work and my life are so very similar to that of Richard Sipe. Thankfully, after we left active ministry and married following reprisals from Church leaders for our exposure of clerical sexual predation, homosexual misconduct, and abuse cover-ups, God blessed us both late in life with children. Richard had a son, and I have a twin boy and a girl.

When Pope Leo XIV encouraged the cardinals at the recent consistory in Rome “to create a more inclusive Church,” members of New Ways Ministry interpreted the pope’s words to be in continuity with the heart of Pope Francis’ legacy. What this Catholic pro-LGBTQ advocacy group failed to note, however, is that Protestant denominations that have attempted over the years to be more inclusive and welcoming to members of the LGBTQ community have suffered a severe loss of membership. Mainline Protestants decreased from 18% in 2007 to 11% in 2025. Even though the number of Evangelical Protestants and Catholics also declined during that same period, the percentage decrease was far less.

As one of the very few straight priest writers who is willing to expose the differences between straight and gay clergy, I regret that so many Catholics today are being poisoned spiritually, just like I was poisoned when I drank the contaminated water at Camp Lejeune, NC, while assigned to the Second Marine Division from 1980 to 1982. Let me explain.

Homosexual cardinals like Blase Cupich, with whom I studied in Rome, along with closeted cardinals Robert McElroy, Wilton Gregory, and others, are inclined to preach about “protecting the environment” and supporting illegal immigrants. In doing so, most Catholics who post favorable remarks about them and Pope Leo on social media fail to realize how the sexual orientation of a pope, bishop, or priest not only affects one’s preaching and teaching, but also how the spiritual and physical lives of the laity are being poisoned. Hence, when these homosexual clerics preach about saving the planet, and when they close churches while telling Catholics that it would be “suicide” not to “get the jab,” spiritual and physical death may result.

Consider the case of a 37-year-old woman who aborted a baby she had desperately wanted because of “an intense fear for the future and the impact of the climate crisis.” Grieved at what she had done, the woman reported, “I had an abortion due to climate anxiety. How can I come to terms with it?” While the woman was happily married and had two children whom she loved dearly, she “longed for a third” child. However, within a week of getting pregnant, she became “wrought with an intense fear for the future and the impact of the climate crisis.” She confessed that her anxiety about the future of the planet led her to have an abortion. While she said that she initially felt “relief,” it wasn’t long before she felt “devastated” at what she had done. How many women have been moved to kill their unborn children in archdioceses like Chicago and Washington where closeted Cardinals Cupich and McElroy see climate change as a greater threat to society than abortion?

Fortunately, there are a few straight U.S. bishops who are not afraid to address how abortion is a very serious threat, particularly when one sees how it is affecting childbearing in the U.S. and other countries like Italy and Japan whose birth rates have fallen to 1.13 and 1.15, respectively. Before the 2020 presidential election, Spokane Bishop Thomas Daly strongly disagreed with then-San Diego Bishop Robert McElroy’s guidance to Catholic voters. Bishop McElroy indicated it was acceptable for Catholics to support Democratic nominee Joe Biden’s pro-abortion-rights stance because, according to McElroy, the “formulation of individual laws regarding abortion” lies in the “realm” of prudential judgment. Daly was quoted as saying, “One of the most important roles of a bishop is to teach, and McElroy never mentions the Church’s teaching that abortion is the ‘preeminent’ moral issue for Catholics.”

Many Catholics who attend the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM) have large families and tend to be very pro-life and pro-family. Less inclined to support the U.S. bishops’ pro-LGBTQ agenda, their support for open borders, their preoccupation with saving the environment, and their willingness to give holy communion to pro-abortion politicians, is it any wonder that traditional Catholics may be perceived as a threat to homosexual Church leaders who are far more inclined to cover up sexual abuse than straight bishops?

In 2018, Cupich identified 150 substantiated child sex abusers in the Archdiocese of Chicago. However, in 2019, the Illinois Attorney General’s Office found an additional 125, almost twice the number reported by Cupich. The number of predator priests who were protected by Cupich pales in comparison to the number of abuse cases covered up by his friend, Pope Francis, who, while the Archbishop of Buenos Aires, with some 2.7 million Catholics, lied when he said that sex abuse “never occurred in my diocese.”

Because straight bishops like former Dublin Archbishop Diarmuid Martin are more inclined than homosexual prelates to report abuse and support victims, it should come as no surprise that Pope Leo has yet to discipline over 160 bishops credibly accused of sexually abusing children and vulnerable adults as documented by bishopaccountability.org. With the belief that one cannot be pro-life and engage in or cover up sexual abuse, one can only question how anyone, especially a parent with children and grandchildren, can respect Pope Leo, Cardinals Cupich, McElroy, Gregory, and other closeted bishops, knowing that their cover-ups have led countless Catholic abuse victims to become alcoholics and drug addicts, or even to commit suicide.
