POPE FRANCIS WILL NOT DEAL WITH DANGEROUS FR JAMES MARTIN SJ
Fr James Martin SJ the author of Building a Bridge has failed in safeguarding LGBT youth. This is despite his endless virtue-signalling and courting celebrity status. It is an utter disgrace that the pope writes notes to him praising him. Nothing is done. His book purports to find common ground between LGBT Catholics and the Church which says that same sex marriage is impossible and a sin and that sex is only between a man and woman in a valid exclusive life-long marriage.
Fr Martin defended the author of the following against Catholics who said he must not speak and promote his books at a Catholic school.
Martin went out of his way here. Why was he worrying about a school a continent away? He lives in New York and ministers there. Why does he not even care about blasphemy against his god?
Martin has lied about his transphobic religion. And the pope.
His closeness to the Reverend Brandan Robertson raises loads of red flags. Robertson on his instagram shows no real sign of devotion to Christianity. There is plenty of devotion to pictures that try to make him look like a teenager, he is over 30, and a lot of flesh is on view.
Here is what Robertson told Trent Horn during an interview.
By no standard could the Reverend Brandan Robertson be considered a pastor or a Christian yet Fr Martin worshipfully endorses him. Robertson says Jesus was a racist. That the Bible is full of errors. That polyamory can be sacred. It goes on and on and on. Robertson at Christmas 2022 said the nativity story was a myth and that because God is love all will be saved in the end. I would accept that if free will is true that everybody will be saved at one point but they can throw away that salvation and then go back for it. Robertson cannot reason.
Martin because he will be deprived of speaking engagements and the trappings they bring, tries to avoid making it look too obvious that he has broken his vow to remain true to the teaching of the Church. So he directs people to Robertson to do the false teaching for him.
Robertson repeatedly lies about and downplays the Bible God's hate for LGBT. He met his match with Trent Horn but refused to listen. They did a talk about whether one could be a sexually active gay and a good Christian. Robertson's lies in fact got worse after his defeat.
Martin should know that Robertson in this talk went out of his way to defend sex between teenagers. Horn went off topic to test him. All Robertson had to so was say that the talk was about the Bible and homosexuality and to get back on topic. He didn't do that. He went on at length trying to justify teen sex.
Groomers use the idea of young people having the right to have sex in order to soften boundaries.
Brandan is careful not to define what age he considers somebody to be a teenager.
Also, the fully developed brain argument he makes endangers trans youth. People argue that anybody under 25 will be too likely to make a mistake by having gender affirming care. It does not stop incoherent Brandan endorsing trans healthcare for teens. This is not a man who truly cares.
Martin with no concern for safeguarding then puts this on his facebook page. Robertson is a heretic by any standard and even that does not matter. This was after a furor where Robertson defended threesomes etc as sacred.
At the bottom Martin tries to undermine the hate the sin and love the sinner doctrine. If the doctrine is false then there is no God and God would not matter if he did exist. Sin would not be an important thing! I oppose love the sinner and hate the sin as inherently passive-aggressive. But Martin is lying that it is only applied to LGBTQ. The Church applies it comprehensively.
I wonder if Martin knew Robertson had an only fans account...did he take a peek?
Martin shows no reservations and calls Robertson a true Christian. So Martin can decide for Jesus who is a Christian? Remember that Martin called evil Archbishop Weakland his friend and praised him despite all the child sex abuse in 2022.
Finally, Fr James Martin is not a father but a liar. Robertson endlessly lies about what the Bible says. He blocks LGBT activists on twitter who raise concern about how these lies make it harder to fight religious homophobia. He is not by any means a good role model for vulnerable LGBT.
