Archbishop Nichol’s LGBT Farm St group, AKA Soho Masses Pastoral Council, is promoting the Taking a Chance with God conference that includes two speakers who are active homosexual Catholic priests – Fr James Alison and the gay ‘married’ priest Bernard Lynch, who admits to being sexually active for years and ‘married’ for years.Fr James Alison openly rejects the Church’s teaching on homosexuality:
‘Well, what has emerged with ever-greater clarity over the last twenty or so years is that the claim underlying the teaching of the Roman Congregations in this sphere is not true. It is not true that all humans are intrinsically heterosexual, and that those who appear not to be heterosexual are in fact defective heterosexuals. There is no longer any reputable scientific evidence of any sort: psychological, biological, genetic, medical, neurological – to back up the claim. The discovery that I talked about earlier, backed with abundant evidence, is that there is a small but regular proportion of human beings – somewhere between three and four percent – across all cultures who are hardwired to be principally attracted to members of their own sex. Furthermore there is no pathology of any psychological or physiological sort that is invariably associated with this sort of hardwiring. It is not a vice or a sickness. It is simply a regularly occurring minority variant in the human species.’
Fr Bernard Lynch is an Irish Catholic priest working in London who is openly and publicly gay. A Radio Telefis Eireann website describes Fr Lynch as being ‘a gay man living in a long term relationship’. Fr. Lynch took a prominent part in the Protest the Pope march against Pope Benedict’s visit to the UK, at which he again publicly declared his homosexuality, and challenged the Holy Father to change Church teaching.
