A Roman Catholic bishop from Rhode Island is facing backlash for a tweet labeling LGBTQ Pride Month events as "especially harmful for children" and arguing that those who follow the faith should not support them. Bishop of Providence Thomas Tobin sent the message on Saturday, the first day of LGBTQ Pride Month and argued that the events in the honorary month "promote a culture and encourage activities that are contrary to Catholic faith and morals." [SNIP] On Sunday, he released a statement saying he regretted that his comments "turned out to be so controversial in our community, and offensive to some, especially the gay community."

Backlash from twits. Who cares? I guess all these woke persons are now demanding that Christians abandon their beliefs and principles so that we don't offend all the perverts and sinners. Many will be offended... who cares? Let the heathen rage and gnash their teeth.

He's right. I have gay friends who stay away from pride events. They are too busy trying to keep their small business afloat. As for me, the LGBTABCD etc. has ruined the rainbow. I can't even make a rainbow cake anymore.

Celebrating “pride” = indulging in sin and narcissism. Why would a Roman Catholic Bishop NOT warn about that participation?

The Bishop was saying that supporting the actions is wrong. He never said hate the person, now did he. I have friends who are LBQ etc. Do I condone their life style. NO. But that does not mean I have to hate them.

At this point, the only thing our church understands is to vote with your wallet. Our Bishops care more about keeping the politicians happy then defending the faith.

He's right, but unfortunately, way too many priests are apparently are homosexuals, or homosexual pedophiles. The Church really needs to eliminate them, but I fear that they are so highly placed now that it will be impossible.

It was widely believed, and not without evidence, that the media, Big Tech, and other Democratic actors were pushing Biden into the White House with the hope that he could be replaced if certain developments occurred -- that is, if his failing mental condition or corrupt past made his continued occupation of the Oval Office problematic. (snip) Why have the media failed to sell Kamala Harris to their viewers as someone ready to jump into Joe’s shoes, if his advancing debilitation required it? There are two obvious reasons for this failure. One, Kamala Harris was an affirmative action pick for the second spot on the Democratic ticket
