Suspended Priest Attacks Bishops,
The Church's Teachings,
Knights of Columbus


Fr. Geoffrey Farrow

"How much filth there is in the Church..."
-Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger
Good Friday Meditation, 2005

Fr. Geoffrey Farrow, the priest from the Diocese of Fresno Who came out as a homosexual and denounced California's Defense of Marriage initiative, Proposition 8 at the same Mass, has found a new way to market himself: As a speaker for dissident groups.

Farrow will be the homilist for Dignity's "Eucharistic Celebration" (Whatever happened to Mass?) for their 2009 convention in (where else?) San Francisco.

Meanwhile, he is using his blog to persuade militant homosexual activists disguised as practicing Catholics to take over their parishes and shun the Knights of Columbus, the group he blames as one of the organizations "which the bishops have employed to do their dirty work."

Among his suggestions:

“Borrow the full amount against your Knights of Columbus life insurance policy immediately. Take the check and invest the funds with an LGBT friendly fund. Do not pay back the loan.”

Pastors may grant or withhold permission for organizations to use church facilities for their meetings. Most parishes have very tight facility scheduling. Create a program and tell the K of C they need to meet elsewhere.”


Get the whole story here.

While such outrageous behavior will surely continue to alienate Farrow from his bishop, John Steinbock of Fresno, he will probably be lauded as a hero in some upcoming issue of U.S. Catholic, that "mainstream" Catholic publication you'll find in the vestibule of too many churches.

I hiope our pope will address these increasingly bold statements from these men and women who suffer from same sex attraction disorder. First Weakland and now this?

The Church is being attacked on all sides... not just the SSA advocates.

Check out Father Fano Ngcobo.... Father Cutie... and more!

It seems that any entity/person/group which attempts to argue that fulfillment is found in more than indulging in whatever humans currently find interesting, is declared "irrelevant."

Heck humankind can make anything we want into a religion - until we make ourselves god.

"May the force be with you...."

There's too much dissent in the Church. What are our bishops doing? By the time they act, more harm has already been inflicted! God help us!

This is just some of the filth in the diocese of fresno under Bishop John Steinbock. Prior to Farrow outing himself, Steinbock was advised by laymen and priests of openly gay priests in the diocese. Steinbock refused to listen. If Steinbock takes any further action against Farrow he may talk and name names of other gay priests in the diocese. Prior to Farrow outing himself a Fr. Lestiri was caught stealing money from his parish and cruising the internet on gay sex sites. Today Fr. Lestiri is the director of liturgy for the diocese of Fresno. This is only a small sample of what goes on in the diocese of Fresno California. Fresno makes Los Angeles look like Disneyland.
