BLASPHEMY: Priest Compares LGBT Books for Kids to Jesus’ Parables

A lunatic priest is now going around preaching that forcing LGBT propaganda down children’s throat is really the same thing as sharing Jesus’ parables.

Father James Martin, whose ministry was endorsed by woke Pope Francis, is an avid supporter of the so-called “LGBTQ movement.”

In fact, he encouraged churches to celebrate Pride month last month:

Prominent Roman Catholic priest James Martin urges churches to CELEBRATE PRIDE month.

Martin and his LGBTQ ministry has been endorsed by Pope Francis, who personally handpicked him to be the Vatican's consultor to the Dicastery for Communication.

Now, Martin is condemning a Supreme Court ruling that allows parents to opt their kids out of having to read LGBT books at school.

In a now-deleted and very blasphemous X post, Martin wrote:

In case that’s hard to read, here’s the full text of the post:

The #SCOTUS decision on parents opting out of their children reading books with LGBTQ characters is a reminder that objecting to LGBTQ issues often falls under the guise of “religious objections.” Obviously, some material is not suitable for children, but some of these books simply introduce gay characters.

But pretty soon, even speaking to, or doing business with, an LGBTQ person (or having them teach your children) will be framed as a threat to one’s “religious values.” It’s important to remember that Christianity should not be used as a fig leaf for homophobia. Moreover, many straight Christians want to be welcoming to LBTQ people, and many straight Christian parents pray that their children will come to know LGBTQ people as their brothers and sisters. Being Christian does not mean being homophobic.

And as for “threatening stories,” it’s essential to remember that Jesus not only reached out to those on the margins, but that one of his most famous stories, the Parable of the Good Samaritan, was a story about someone from a hated ethnic group — the Samaritans were at the time despised by many Jews, because of where they worshiped God.

That story, threatening to the religious beliefs of many people at the time, is nonetheless central to the Christian worldview. To be clear: Many people in Jesus’s time would have rejected the story of the Good Samaritan because of “religious reasons.”

Rather than looking for ways to label people as “other,” or as dangerous, we need to indeed “tell stories” about them and, better yet, get to know them as our brothers and sisters. And our friends.

After Martin deleted his post on X, he basically re-posted and expanded on it in an essay on Outreach Faith:

The Baptist minister Paul Rauschenbush, who is a married gay man, noted on his Instagram feed that he fears the Supreme Court ruling could also be used to opt out of learning about “other religious people, or people who are different from you, from any background.” Rauschenbush, who is also the CEO of the Interfaith Alliance, calls it a slippery slope. “I want my kids who are in public schools to learn stories about people who are different from them.”

It’s an important point. What about a book about a Muslim family that enjoys their time in their local mosque. Is that “offensive” to practicing Christians? Or a book about a Jewish family’s experience celebrating not Christmas, but Hanukkah? Does their not worshiping Jesus pose a “threat” to Christian children?

Allowing people to exempt their children from hearing stories, even fictional ones, with LGBTQ people, can prevent them from the kind of deep learning needed to build empathy with those from different backgrounds, a key step in the development of a moral life. The biblical scholar Walter Brueggemann, who recently died, said that the deep places of our lives—places of “resistance and embrace,” as he termed them—are not reached by definitions as much as by stories. This is one reason why Jesus taught in parables—stories.

What a bucket of demonic hogwash…

I shouldn’t even need to say this, but forcing children to read LGBT stories, which only serve to corrupt their young minds with lies and immorality, is nothing like Jesus’s parables — stories that do the exact opposite and demonstrate how to live according to the good and the true.

To suggest that these two are equivalent is just Satanic.

As for Martin’s claim that the Good Samaritan is just like modern-day gay or “trans” people?

Nowhere does the Bible condemn people based on race.

In fact, the New Testament is all about God extending his covenant to the Gentiles.

But, it explicitly condemns sexual immorality.

He needs to go back and read 1 Corinthians 6:9:
