Prominent Roman Catholic Priest Urges Churches To Celebrate Pride Month
James Martin is a prominent American Roman Catholic known for having an outreach ministry for proud and open LGBTQ Catholics. A Jesuit priest, he’s the editor at large for @Americamag and consultor to the Dicastery for Communication for @VaticanNew, with Francis recently appointing him for another five-year term. He’s a very prominent Roman Catholic known for having an outreach ministry for proud and open LGBTQ Catholics, whom Martin is fighting for full inclusion in the life of the church.
Previously Pope Francis commended his work, saying that saying his ministry seeks to “imitate the style of God” and that “your pastoral zeal and your ability to be close to people, with the closeness that Jesus had, and which reflects the closeness of God.”
In a recent post on X, Martin reposted an article he wrote in 2022, arguing that Catholics should celebrate Pride month as a way to recognize the dignity of the gay or trans person.
This echoes statements he previously made in 2022:
In his linked article, he reveals:
…Pride is a consciousness of one’s own dignity. And that’s closer to what Pride Month is meant to be for the LGBTQ community: a recognition of the human dignity of a group of people who have, for centuries been, treated with contempt, rejection and violence. “
He goes on to add that “Pride Month reminds Catholics to treat LGBTQ people with respect, compassion and sensitivity” and that “it’s especially important for churches to mark Pride Month since much of the rejection that LGBTQ people have faced has been motivated by Christianity-at least what many people think Christianity teaches.”
He concludes by explaining:
Just because you celebrate Pride Month doesn’t mean that you necessarily agree with what every person, every organization or even every float in every parade has to say. Pride Month is mainly about supporting the fundamental human rights of the LGBTQ community: the right to live in safety, the right to be treated as equals, and the right to be fully welcome in society.

Gaslighting by saying “celebrating pride month does not mean one agrees with every float, person, and organization.—- come on, we are not stupid. When you celebrate you condone it!! Just like going to a wedding or birthday party by going one celebrates it!!! Once again I disagree with James Martin who is a priest that needs to be in another faith, not a Catholic priest! I hope our new Pope takes away his being a Catholic Priest!!!!
AMEN! This isn’t surprising coming from a Pagan religion.
The Catholic church is the one true church, founded by Christ himself.
James Martin does not speak for the Catholic church. Leftism has infiltrated every institution in the world, and James Martin has simply chosen the wrong side.
guys we should all celebrate abortion. doesn’t mean we agree with it but we should show support for the women who feel compelled to kill their offspring. if we don’t celebrate it then we are exclusionary and Jesus will cry. ain’t gonna make an all powerful god cry, are you?
that’s the argument of this eeedeeeot priest.
Excellent analogy, Jason. I guess I’ll keep doing what I’ve been doing for several decades now as a Catholic and worship on my own. I can’t condone the Catholic Church for what it has become! It’s really a shame.
There is nothing prominent about this shameful piece of work. He’s infamous. An embarrassment. A treasonous plague on the Roman Catholic church. Last Sunday our pastor was chiding us because this year’s contributions to a prominent fund raiser was 50% of what it should be. Disgraceful guys like Father Martin are part of the problem. Excommunicating an activist priest because of his devotion to the Pro-Life movement is not helping. Catholic Charities bringing illegals into the country is not helping. For God’s sake, Catholic Charities is bringing in Muslims! Unbelievable. The very same cult that is burning down Christian churches all over the world. The same cult that is murdering Christians. And Catholic Charities is getting paid to bring in Muslims? No wonder fund raising is only 50%.
I just don’t get the pride thing. Being a freak of nature is nothing to be proud of.
Their priests are 99% gay, so it makes sense for the papists to support gay pride month. Therefore Roman Catholicism should be banned from the USA as a Foreign Terrorist Organization. And then all Roman Catholics should be deported to Italy.

Stupid comment
Majority do not agree with James Martin and
“Pope Francis has publicly responded to Father Martin, acknowledging his work with the LGBTQ+ community and expressing his support for Father Martin’s efforts to minister to this population. This has been interpreted by some as a sign that the Pope is in agreement with Father Martin’s more inclusive approach. ”
Our Parish Priest put it correctly…we have to have compassion for the suffering these people are going through, the self hate, etc, so we can’t add to that, but we don’t have to accept their choices as morally correct in any way. As Christians we need to have compassion, but not to outwardly support it.
Martin is an apostate and heretic and his message is completely wrong.
The majority of Catholics do not agree with the Apostate Priest Martin. The Pope also did not agree and had this to say…

This has been interpreted by some as a sign that the Pope is in agreement with Father Martin’s more inclusive approach. ”
ministering to them in the hopes of helping them correct their sins, but not advocating Martin’s message to support pride month, which is illusory and erroneous.
