LGBTQ Cross Carried Into St. Peter’s Basilica, Pope Leo Urges Bishops to Celebrate Pride Mass

For the first time in history, a rainbow pride cross was officially processed into the heart of the Vatican after hundreds of LGBTQ Catholics attended mass in St. Peter’s Basilica, with the blessing of Pope Leo, who personally encouraged the vice president of the Italian Bishops’ Conference, Bishop Francesco Savino, to celebrate with them.


More than 1,400 LGBTQ Catholics and their families have descended on the Vatican over the last week, making a pilgrimage for the 2025 Jubilee, a major Roman Catholic event celebrated every 25 years.

Along with the general revelry, they’ve been attending events specifically geared for the that have been published on the Vatican’s official online calendar, including the prayer vigil at the Jesuit Church of the Gesù and the mass at St. Peters, which appeared under the unnsasuming title “Pilgrimage of the Tenda di Gionata Association (Jonathan’s Tent) and other associations”

These events are sponsored by Jonathan’s Tent, a pro-LGBTQ activist group dedicated to advocating for full acceptance, inclusion, and celebration of LGBTQ Catholics in the life of the Church. The group is named “Jonathan’s Tent” because they believe Jonathan and David had a homosexual relationship

Folks entered the churches carrying the pride cross and wearing rainbow pride gear, including some folks adorned with “F*ck the rules’ shirts.

Others posed for the cameras:

Speaking to those gathered crowd at St. Peters, Bishop Savino said of the Jubilee event and those in attendance:

“It was the year when land was returned to those from whom it had been taken. The Jubilee was the remission of debts and the liberation of slaves and prisoners. The Jubilee was the time to free the oppressed and restore dignity to those who had been denied it. Brothers and sisters, I say this with emotion. It is time to restore dignity to everyone, especially those who have been denied it.”

According to American Catholic Priest ad LGBTQ activist James Martin, who was attending the mass, “Bishop Savino also said that after he told Pope Leo about this Mass, Leo said: Go, celebrate the Mass with them!”

      There is no western or North American orthodox. It’s either Eastern Orthodox (Greek, Russian, Bulgarian, Serbian, etc) or oriental orthodox. (Coptic orthodox, Ethiopian orthodox, the Armenian orthodox, etc.). the Orthodox Church has always used a lot of Bible in their liturgy. So does the traditional Catholic.

      1. The Antiochian Orthodox Church has a number of parishes across North America that offer Western Liturgy (Liturgy of St Gregory, Liturgy of St Tikhon, High Mass, Latin Mass), wear Western vestments, and celebrate the feast days of pre-Schism Western Saints. Orthodox theology keeping with the teachings of the Apostles, Canonical representing the Seven Ecumenical Councils, and not celebrating sin, pride, or demonic anti-creation culture.

The last three that I went to our gone, THe Polish church, was one of them.

    My first thought is why were these freaks allowed into the Vatican with short pants? Did the torn holes in the front make the pants holy, therefore allowed? Reason I’m asking is when I visited the Vatican (15 years back?), I was provided a tourism dress code. No shorts for men and it was hot in Rome then. Or do the freaks get special rules?

    It is well known that Marxists/LGB people set a goal of infiltrating mainstream religion–Catholic and Protestant churches. Obviously, this is a picture of the apostate church and reprobate minds.

    When the ELCA USA went apostate, the Catholic Church invited those Biblical Lutherans who departed the ELCA to return “back home” to the Catholic faith. So much for “Sola Scriptura”. It is (and was) correct to leave the ELCA if you are Christian, and now it is correct to leave the Catholic Church if you are Christian. The Catholics make a man in between Christ and His people. The church corporation is and has been following the world and not the commands of Christ …to reject sin, embrace repentance, and follow Jesus, and obey His commands and believe His words. Time for Cathexit!
