The Washington, DC, Catholic church frequented by President JoeBiden will celebrate a gay Pride Mass on Wednesday evening. A group of conservative Catholics are planning to pray the rosary outside the church in protest.
The pastor of Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Georgetown, which counts Biden among its congregants, defended the decision to have the Mass, saying it was not celebrating Pride in terms of vanity."This celebration is an expression of our parish’s mission statement TO ACCOMPANY ONE ANOTHER IN CHRIST, CELEBRATE GOD’S LOVE, AND TRANSFORM LIVES," the Rev. Kevin Gillespie said of the liturgical celebration.
The Georgetown parish is hosting the Mass despite the fact that Catholic teaching holds that homosexual activity is a"grave depravity" and is"intrinsically disordered." The Catholic Church also teaches that"pride" is one of the seven capital sins, which"engender other sins," according to the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
A group of conservative Catholics has organized a rally outside the church to pray the rosary during the Pride Mass. The group said it plans to pray"in reparation for Catholic masses being held to honor and celebrate LGBTQ Catholics." Join us tomorrow evening at Holy Trinity in DC to pray the Rosary in reparation for the pride Mass taking place there. We gather at 5 pm. Biden and Pelosi have often attended this "Catholic" church. pic.twitter.com/pzgnSP9x1k“The Catholic Church teaches that God endowed all people with dignity and they should be treated with compassion and respect," a flyer for the rally said."But the Church does not celebrate sin, most especially at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
