Of the New Ways Ministry

Agenda?  What agenda?

Dissident Catholics, amongst whom are many of the GLBT crowd, including their families, often insist there is no gay agenda to change the world and the Church.  That is so not true.

This weekend in Minneapolis, New Ways Ministery is holding its National Symposium On Catholics and Homosexuality.  It is not endorsed by the Archdiocese of St. Paul/Minneapolis.  Nevertheless, not a few locals associated with this archdiocese will be involved, some of them speaking, while a couple of local Catholic Churches have also been listed as supporters of the event, including the Sisters of St. Joseph of Corondolet.  In fact it is rather scandalous to read the list of supporters.  Check out the PDF - it lists everyone who is speaking, along with their agenda.

One of the speakers is Michael Bayly, his offering is titled; “Breaking Bread - Gay and Lesbian Parish Ministry.”  His profile identifies him as Executive Director of the Pastoral Committe on Sexual Minorities in the Twin Cities, as well as acting Co-ordinator of the Safe Schools Project.

There is definitely an agenda here.  Thanks to Roman Catholic Blog, I found this great quote from Cardinal Bertone concerning the enemies of the Church:

Italian journalist Gianni Cardinale, asked Bertone about atheists who may support the Pope on certain issues such as his stance on Islam. “If I can put it in a sound-bite,” Bertone said as translated by Vatican reporter John Allen, “the church doesn’t really worry about atheists, however devout, because they’re out of her spiritual jurisdiction, so to speak. Much more worrisome are those inside the church who work to distort its faith and moral principles, or who oppose the pope and his design for renewal of the church.”  LifeSite News
