Does the OMI parish of St. Joseph's in Ottawa encourage sodomy?

The rot in the Church at Ottawa continues 25 years later

Long known as a centre of heresy, dissent, liturgical abuses and innovation, the parish of St. Joseph in Ottawa on the campus of its once Catholic university has a rather queer announcement in last week's bulletin.

While Catholic teaching is clear that people who suffer from same-sex attraction must be loved and respected as human persons created by God, it seems that this event goes beyond that command to the point of endorsing a "lifestyle" that is the antithesis of life and love.

Where it the Catholic teaching? 


Where is "Courage Apostolate?"

Where is the real compassion instead of this false compassion?

Why is a Catholic Church supporting a group and permitting in its bulletin a label on a human being that the Catechism of the Catholic Church does not place and in fact, declares incorrect? 1.

— Friday, July 13 Sacristy room, 7-8:30 pm. When John McNeill, pioneering advocate for LGBT human rights, was thanking God for his partner of 22 years, one of the things he listed in gratitude was: "He does me the honor of being angry at me when I do something thoughtless or hurtful." During our meeting, we will talk about anger in our lives as individuals and as a community — particularly how to channel our anger with the Church's view on women's rights and homosexual love into a passionate search for justice? Please bring a beverage or snack to share. To get a copy of an excerpt ("Dealing with Anger") from John McNeill's book, Taking a Chance on God, email Sjcglgroup@gmail.com

This striking quote on "how to channel our anger with the Church's view on women's rights and homosexual love into a passionate search for justice?" pretty much states their views on the Church's teaching.

Continuing saga of heresy and dissent

At Ottawa University Mass, the extent of the problem is also seen as St. Joseph's "fine-tunes" its communication strategy. Yes, not much has changed in the twenty-five years since  I left Ottawa. Well, at least the stinking fishpond is gone from the sanctuary but let us not forget this invitation obviously endorsed by the OMI's at the parish to Capital Pride; now how's that for a play on words?

Violation of Canon Law

Yet, it still gets worse. Canon Law is quite clear, the laity do not preach at Mass. The homily is given by the bishop, priest or deacon, not even a seminarian is qualified as until the diaconate, they are still not in the clerical state. No nun may deliver a homily. No homily may be addressed by a layman or laywoman. None. Yet, not even if they be a Protestant Minister -- a layman or woman who also happens to be a heretic. Yet, not even that is too much for the OMI's at St. Joe's as evidenced right here.  Even people promoting EWTN and opposing Dalton McGuinty's takeover of Catholic teaching in favour of a homosexualist agenda in our schools are slandered. They go so far as to publish a disclaimer, "Please note that the group responsible for leaving these pamphlets and flyers on the cars in the parking lot is in no way affiliated with St. Joseph’s Parish or with the church’s ministries." Too bad I say. Are there any Catholics left at this parish? How can there by after decades of heretical teaching and behaviour?

Narcissism consistently leads to liturgical abuse

Where do we begin to count the sacrilege and liturgical abuses outlined in Redemptionis Sacramentum? The priest celebrating this Mass is violating Canon Law and even the Second Vatican Council's Constitution of the Liturgy, Sacrosanctam Concilium. Their beloved John XXII would never have tolerated this, nor would the tortured Paul VI. All Popes have spoken out and written on this abomination, this priest is disobedient to the Church and he is committing scandal. If that is being judgmental, so be it. It is the truth.

This priest, this parish, this Order is in full communion with the  Holy See and the Priestly Society of St. Pius X is not?

The heresy and abuse and scandal at this parish and by this Order is not the teaching of the Council, but it does come from a false spirit of the Council that is still yet to die.

As noted in a post below, this parish was instrumental in the Oratorian Affair of 1988 and 1989.  I was there, I witnessed it.

The pastor at the time at St. Joseph's was Father Douglas Crosby, OMI, the now Bishop of Hamilton.

This parish is an Oblate parish, the OMI's. They also have a star chamber house in Edmonton for enneagrams, yoga and other heresies antithetical to Catholic teaching.

The OMI's were some of the worst sexual predators hiding out in priest's clothing with particular attention being paid to boys in the Maritimes and aboriginal Canadian communities in the west and north.

Now the OMI's from Labrador have followed the OMI bishop to Hamilton as they "co-pastor" and dress as clowns during Mass.

Let this be a warning. You can no longer hide.

You will be outed, in more ways than one, just as the darkness flees from the light.

1.  Chastity and homosexuality 
2357  Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the same sex. It has taken a great variety of forms through the centuries and in different cultures. Its psychological genesis remains largely unexplained. Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity,¹⁴¹ tradition has always declared that "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered."¹⁴² They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved.
 
2358 The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible. This inclination, which is objectively disordered, constitutes for most of them a trial. They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided. These persons are called to fulfill God's will in their lives and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord's Cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition.

2359  Homosexual persons are called to chastity. By the virtues of self-mastery that teach them inner freedom, at times by the support of disinterested friendship, by prayer and sacramental grace, they can and should gradually and resolutely approach Christian perfection.

Will the last Roman Catholic turn out the lights?

           Anybody Catholic or non-Catholic, traditionalist or secular-minded, who wishes to pinpoint honestly the direct cause of the shambles to which the once vibrant Roman Catholic Church has been reduced, needs to read and absorb James W. Demers' The Last Roman Catholic.

          Writing with grace and perceptiveness, with a plethora of detailed, accurate information, and using the frightening martyrdom of the Oratorians at the hands of Archbishop Plourde (Ottawa), Demers shows the Canadian hierarchy of bishops together with their priests themselves literally and deliberately dismantled the Church organization, in the process killing off its authentic spirit. They, not some outside and inimical force, are directly responsible for the ruins. How the churchmen of Canada successfully de-Catholicized themselves and their flocks, this is the real subtitle of Demers' work.

          It should also be obligatory reading for all USA churchmen (already busy producing the same lugubrious result): and it should be obligatory reading also for every one of the 180 members of the Roman College of Cardinals. For in the ultimate analysis, they will be called to account by Christ for the gross betrayal which they organized and now do allow.

Such is the blurb from the back of the book. The Oratorian Affair took place between 1987-1989 in Ottawa at St. Brigid's, now an "Centre for the Arts!"

I was there.

It was there that I went to confession for the first time in fifteen years. It was there that I learnt to sing for the first time, Gregorian chant. I witnessed the persecution first-hand and it put me on the road to this blog.

I saw 300 people at Sunday Vespers. Four confessionals with priests and line-ups. Every 13th. day of the month there were three rosaries--all mysteries and benediction and confession.

People came from all over the Ottawa Valley and it had to be put to an end.

If you've never heard of the Oratorian Affair, you can find it in this little book. If you want to know the whole history of betrayal by the Canadian bishops you can add Anne Roche Muggeridge's The Gates of Hell and The Desolate City.

If you want to see the church community that lead the charge against the Oratorians back then, google St. Joseph's Church, Ottawa, but don't be having a coffee at your keyboard.

It was a den of heresy and liturgical abuse and open dissent twenty-five years ago and they've added to it ever since.

It is an OMI parish on the campus of the formerly Catholic, University of Ottawa. The Pastor at the time was Father Douglas Crosby, OMI. Father Crosby now in his Episcopal capacity as Bishop of Hamilton likes to sign his letters, "Douglas."

I'm not saying anything by that, I'm must sayin'.
