Are those special parishes? Don't get the news.

@De Profundis No, they're not 'special parishes' but they are in Central London, which suggests a progression to greater things.

@De Profundis No, they're not 'special parishes' but they are in Central London, which suggests a progression to greater things. And it is something when the 1961 Religiosorum Institutio Instruction on the Careful Selection And Training Of Candidates For The States Of Perfection And Sacred Orders and 2005 Criteria for the Discernment of Vocation for Persons with Homosexual Tendencies Vatican documents are apparently being ignored.

@English Catholic
Thank you for bringing this news back out into the open. As the Catholic Truth blogger wrote: “Of course, homosexual priests, or those who support ‘gay culture’ are no longer making headline news anywhere, apparently welcomed as such by hierarchy and laity alike,”
But that doesn't mean we should accept this (or any other such) scandal.

This man blatantly ignored the Church's prohibition on the entry into seminary (never mind ordination!) of men with any history of support for the "gay lifestyle". The evidence that Balzanella not only supported that evil lifestyle but indulged in it, shamelessly, signals serious, terminal probably, decay in the Archdiocese of Westminster. Hardly, of course, breaking news, but thank you for keeping it at the front of our minds. There's a real sense of helplessness, though, since there's nothing any of us can do, really, except be that voice crying / warning, in the wilderness.

Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us!

"...For this cause, God delivered them up to shameful affections. For their women have changed the natural use into that use which is against nature. And, in like manner, the men also, leaving the natural use of the women, have burned in their lusts, one towards another: men with men, working that which is filthy and receiving in themselves the recompense which was due to their error..."

And, in like manner, the men also, leaving the natural use of the women, have burned in their lusts, one towards another: men with men, working that which is filthy and receiving in themselves the recompense which was due to their error..." (Romans 1: 26-27).

These words of St. Paul stand today and for all time, so we know the terrible eternal destiny that awaits all those in the Church today who tolerate or promote homosexuality in the priesthood. There's not much we can do about it here and now, but what a terrible judgement awaits them when this short life is over.

Well said - there really will be a fierce judgment awaiting those within the Church who are engaging in, tolerating or promoting homosexuality in the priesthood. No question about it.More

The cardinal welcomes this filth of a man into the priesthood. In the past, the homo's had to pretend they were hetero in order to be ordained but now they feel no need to hide their perversion. If only they knew what awaited them

Another evidence that Bergoglio is not pope because the promise made to Peter is that the gates of Hell will not prevail in the Church. But in the sect of Bergoglio heresy and vice reign, which represent the gates of Hell.

but did he really get anointed and ordained by God? I mean, even Judas didn't have those credentials. Does he still hold those opinions? How could it be valid? I'm just a pewsitter and I really just wonder. But I guess Judas was officially an apostle, tho didn't do any good.

Grace can work wonders. Hoping this was followed: Instruction Concerning the Criteria for the Discernment of Vocations with regard to Persons with Homosexual Tendencies in view of their Admission to the Seminary and to Holy Orders

Like Card O'Brien ( RIP), Card. Nichols should never had been consecrated a bishop. God have mercy on us all.

Clearly that important Vatican instruction has NOT been followed - otherwise Alexander Balzanella and others like him, would not have been allowed into seminary and subsequently ordained.More
