In US news and current events today, this LGBTQ Pride Month 2020, we celebrate 2020 Pride Month by honoring the trailblazers who fought for LGBTQ+ rights and LGBT rights all around the world. We take some LGBTQ rights for granted here in America, even though we still have much progress to make. The Catholic Church has not been the friendliest place to LGBTQ+ people, and religion in general has long been at odds with the LGBTQ community. However, that can change. This Jesuit Priest has been advocating for LGBTQ+ acceptance within Catholicism for some time, because religion should be no place for intolerance and hate. The Catholic Church is an ancient institution that is very slow to change, but with advocates like James Martin on the side of justice, the reform Catholicism movement may create a better church that is accepting of all.

I really felt when he said that we should stand up for people because that’s what Jesus did and we shouldn’t be afraid to be judged because even Jesus went through these things !!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Because his father, god, planned it that way. Think about that. If you believe the bible then you have to accept that everything that has or ever will happen was designed by Jesus father, god. He chose to torture his own son...... And give people cancer......aids.......
@Marcos Sealey That's because you never ever knew him and don't want to take your time to get to know Jesus, you fool.
@Marcos Sealey When you denied the existence of Jesus, you denied God himself.
@@hossp2365 i can understand why u may believe that sir, but are u open to a discussion from the bible to answer if Jesus is God, why we suffer, and if God plans to end our suffering?

We respect you guys.
But dont join us.
It is one of our oldest doctrines.
Jacobus Kurnia Kaalapaking A.K.A Lord Promodus Jesus said love everyone no matter who they are. LGBTQ are allowed to become catholic if they want. Remember that everyone is a child of god

Bible states it is not your job to judge bring one sheep from the flock a mustard seed of faith is all you need He is to judge not you
You are saying the Bible tells Christians not to judge? Do you read the Bible?
@@truthwarrior1489 Do YOU read the Bible? The job of a Christian is to spread the love and teachings of God, not to hate. We as mortal humans are in not place to judge, God who is Almighty CAN because he created everything
The Wolf Twins Jesus said judge righteously
The bible states " he that is spiritual judge all things " Plus, we're telling you what is right according to what God says, yet you call that judging wrongfully and hate?
The 2K KING huh say nothing about hate That is never in my hearts I might highly dislike a person but never hate
When I was growing up in the Catholic Church, it was priests like this that kept me from falling into a pit of despair and killing myself. I remember the first time I was accepted by a faith leader for who I was.. I cried because I’ve never felt that type of unconditional love before. That love reminded me of what I used to imagine Jesus’ love was supposed to feel like every night that I prayed to him.
That is true Christianity. Never did I question myself until people started to tell me that Jesus and God somehow hated me. These compassionate gestures of love and acceptance-no matter how simple-means so much more to these young, struggling souls than anyone else outside of the community will ever realize.
@RC RC As someone who has worked with people experiencing suicidal ideation and studied the patterns across age & income groups, let me point out that you have just posted one of the most ignorant and callous comments imaginable (in the given context). Shame on you.
Beige, you're a wonderful, sensitive soul. Please ignore RC's comment. Just another Troll.
I’m sorry this ever happened to you
I hope things are better now!!! I think it was great how you dealed with the situation and kept your faith in the Holy Spirit!!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
@Tony B Why should Beige change the words to soften the blow? If such statements were made then that is what she should document in clear, unambiguous language. Are you suggesting she lied or are you applying the subtle art of persuasion to pull focus from the pejorative language of some hate filled individuals? Are you trying to make her feel guilty for suggesting that she is simply adding to a discourse that abhors the Catholic church? There is something distasteful in your rhetoric, Sir. Please don't ask her to change her wording to suit your narrative. By all means, you are free to ask her if she is sure but leave it there. Instead, you positively assert that she is reproducing statements incorrectly in your closing lines! Gaslighting a sensitive young woman. I am not attempting to encourage the denigration of Catholicism (or any other religion) here. Just, let the truth speak for itself. Then we can honestly discuss the broader context.
Mad respect from an atheist

Justice will be served well I really don’t believe in that but I’m not gonna say you shouldn’t believe believe in any religion if you want but try to be nice to others in the future especially when they did nothing wrong
EXACTLY. From when I was a kid the main message was Jesus loves everyone and so should you. That’s why I don’t understand how Christians love God but hate minorities. 🙄
The God I know loves me no matter what my sexuality is 🤷🏾♀️
Not all Christians are bigoted. There are bigoted people who use religion as an excuse. Pls consider that not everyone who is Catholic hates LGBTQ people
Exactly my thoughts Imani.
No he doesn't
But anyways keep lying to yourself
Facts Only you are a bigoted person and you should reevaluate what God means to you and remember what Jesus’ message was
You can prove that in his words by your sexuality? Don't say God loves no matter what sexuality you are " yet you can't find any scripture to prove that
There is only one religion & it’s called unconditional love. There is also only one race & that is the human race. ✌️✌🏻✌🏼✌🏽✌🏾✌🏿

Was raised Catholic and no longer practice "God/Jesus" faith because of this stance. I am spiritual but not in terms the doctrine set out by organized religions. I believe in the universe, and all LGBTQ+ are welcome in my stars.

He’s right
Jesus is merciful and live but he wants conversion . That’s why talked in that way to the woman in adultery because he is not condemning anybody but you can’t live in sins
That's up to him to decide. Not us. We just live in his grace and love others.
The measure by which you judge another is the measure by which you yourself will be judged.
Romans 2:1
@@tonyrae86 Well, the bible states " how can you hear without a preacher"
Wow talk about wolves in sheeps clothing. Sure Jesus reached out to the marginalized and the oppressed, but it is them that went away changed, not Jesus. There is a big difference between reaching out to all people and misrepresenting the scripture to accept sinful behavior. We are to conform to the word of God, not to twist and turn it to suit our notion of what's right and wrong.
Yes, exactly
You can accept them as christian catholic, pray for them asking God to intervene and fix their life, but you should never involve the church to celebrate this community, because if you do, you are no different than Satan. As follower of Christ please stop being politically correct and just present the truth as it is.
If you are looking for a church that already accepts the LGBT community check out the Episcopal Church.
Aaron Oneal I love the Episcopal church
So, what's to point to go to an invented church that at the end of the day, don't mean anything? By all means just become Satanist. It don't mean anything either, tho.
@@alexisrael9097 That is truly some creative grammar and syntax.
I was raised in the Catholic religion, but I welcome my arms to those who are LGBTQ+. I have many friends in the community who have been nothing but kind and they are among the friendliest people I have ever met. God taught us to love one another, and it's one of the things he taught that I standby wholeheartedly.
Allison, we need more people like you speaking up. Thank you for sharing.
I dont know what are people's problem is, they are just human beings like everyone else, no more no less. 🥰🥰🥰

I respect them enough to not lie to them.
He answered and said to them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: ‘This people honors Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me. And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’
Mark 7:6-7
Your sin doesn't define who you are. Just because you are enslaved right now to the demonic passion of homosexuality does not mean you are forever bound to remain in that evil. You can accept Christ as your savior and listen to his perfect words, that you can give up such debauchery as homosexuality and transgenderism and be the imager of God he made you to be.
Better them than Scientology.😑
I believe In the rock I tossed into the ocean. I believe it sank lol.

Its not hate to state what is against the faith
Except that you don't do it to non-lgbt people so yes, it is just your personal hatred. Splinters and planks of wood, you know? Your hatred pushes people away from Christ. There's a word for that: Pharisee.
it is not against our faith.
But it is hate to demonize others who have done nothing wrong to you, like the multiple folks who have called me and my lgbtq+ friends “children of the devil” over being homosexual, something that nobody can change.
@@Prodigy701k90It is not wrong.
@@epicslayhave you read the old testament?
Jesus also taught repentance, (Mark 1:15). But repentance was and is not something we do out of fear. It is something we do AS A RESULT of having a loving relationship with God through Jesus Christ. So, my LGBTQ friends, come to know the infinite and perfect love of God that casts out fear. If He leads you to truth, dont be afraid to follow Him. Nothing but love for you. Please come home.
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction." Proverbs 1:7
Ahh yes, 1 corinthians 6:9
I'd rather see religion abolished than give a reason why people should be accepted by it.
Religion helps people deal with the cynical reality of life. I’m a scientist but when family members die I always turn to religion. I don’t want to accept that I can’t talk to them but ‘I can’ through god :(
You should create your own religion
I completely agree with what he is saying and doing. Jesus is love and love is acceptance period, but at the same time people are going to argue that you are interpreting his teachings to favor what you are saying and doing.
Jesus also preach against hate and repentance.
But hasn’t that been done already? Haven’t people interpreted the Bible for their own agendas, to excuse their views of hate and discrimination? If there should be an agenda to interpret something positive and inclusive, shouldn’t that be welcomed?
The 2K KING can you explain what it means to repent?
@@truthwarrior1489to regret what you have done. to stop sinning.
Lies, our God is not all about love. Stop. I'm pretty sure you haven't read the bible or God did not believe you're wordy of His word. The Catholic church god is Satan.
They shouldn't have to accept the wickedness of the world
I'm an atheist, but when I imagine a religion doing it right.... this is part of what I picture.
As an atheist/igtheist, myself, I find them conforming their religions to modern social norms fantastic, but at the same time, its keeping them around longer...so not the best. They are weeded out quicker when they are honest, and actually adhere to scripture, instead of changing it to fit the times.
right !!
Q. Where does evil come from? A. “Religion” Christopher Hitchens

6 For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
Old Testament God disagrees with New Testament God all the time.
@@noaht3087 - Examples??
Condemn the sin and not the sinner. Jesus did came for us and died for us so that we might be free from sin, he came to this world to teach us how to live like God's sons and daughters. He did say to deny thyself too if we want to follow him. And that we have to be born again. Let's pray for them and for eachother because none of us are sinless. We are powerless on our own against the enemy. We need Jesus. Live the way God wants us to live that is to hate sin and to try and become holy.
No one can speak for God nor Jesus, ask God and Jesus yourself and humble listen to what he said to you.
I'm a secularist I really don't believe religion with our lawsI'm really glad there are people of Faith who can also be pro-lgbt to show evangelicals to stop hating lgbtq
1 corinithians 6:9
So religion is an ideology to you?
Heres the thing, "people of fatih" who say LGBT behaviour is not sin arent people of faith
Welcome the person, not the sin. Teach them, and help them, but don't fuel the sin.
It's not a sin if we were born this way, and even if it was the LGBT Catholics like any other Catholic we have faults, buts it's ok cause Jesus died for our sins and we must honor him
@@Principessoit is a sin, even the pope clarified it.
Let he without sin cast the first stone. Stop pretending to be sanctimonious. A man who drinks and beats his wife regularly is more accepted in the church than someone who is LGBT. If you were honest with yourself, you'd realize that you're just full of hate for people you don't understand.
Not hatred...desire for them to repent and sin no more. Exactly what Jesus says.
“Then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart.”
Jeremiah 14:14
“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.”
Matthew 7:15
Stand up to these false prophets my brothers in Christ, these are servants of the devil and teaching false messages of the gospel✝️
You are not supposed to wear your sin every day out in the open I thought?
What about when He said "sin no more?"

A FALSE religion, there is ONLY one true Religion which explicitly states homosexuality in all its forms to be an abnormality not to be encouraged, AND CONDEMNED.
God is love and holy. Those who are followers of Jesus Christ should display and Love everyone from the LBGTQ community. God is holy and he cannot support anything or any lifestyle that goes against his nature. Remember God’s nature is holiness and righteousness.
Well said! Unfortunately, most of the comments I have read here are pretty one-sided!
Amen I agree with ur statements
Amen brother!
There is nothing unnatural about homosexuality.
Not that it matter because what is natural does not have anything to do with morality.
@@Grokford The life style goes against God’s design for mankind, It’s not natural in the animal kingdom. God is love and he love every person who freely chooses that lifestyle. God is holy, God hates sin, not the sinner.

What about confession?
Can they do that? ir receive Jesus eucaristía???

Jay Jay I disagree. I’ve met a few mormons who are actually LGBTQ neutral. They aren’t gonna start joining pride parades but its none of their business what people choose to do.
They are genuinely nice people... if you are white and in their family or friends....too bad the ones I know dont extend past their bubble.

Not true. I know many LGQBT Mormons very active in their church and also some serving as missionaries. The church is slowly changing it stands on the LGQBT community
@@echoman4202 Enough to keep me happy. So Zero.
Homosexuality is a sin. I personally do believe that you should love thy neighbour and treat others how you wish to be treated but trying to normalise sin isn’t the way to do it.
To you
Do you not know that the unrighteous and the wrongdoers will not inherit or have any share in the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived (misled): neither the impure and immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor those who participate in homosexuality, Nor cheats (swindlers and thieves), nor greedy graspers, nor drunkards, nor foulmouthed revilers and slanderers, nor extortioners and robbers will inherit or have any share in the kingdom of God.

If they believe homosexuality is a sin as the scriptures tell us and want to repent, then they should be welcomed. But if they think being homosexual is ok like the dude during St.Pauls time who thought sleeping with his brothers wife was ok, they should be excommunicated like St.Paul excommunicate the dude.
Jesus never said anything about lgbtq, he only taught love and acceptance

Standing up for marginalized people is not the same as condoning their behavior. I can stand up for an alcoholic or drug addict but not be in agreement with what they are doing. Loving and caring for people who have issues doesn’t mean we have to agree with what they do.
Every individual is welcome in the Catholic Church. I mean everyone. As long as they repent and get washed by the blood of the lamb who takes away the sins of the world. No one is without sin. Follow Jesus and turn away from sin.
Homosexuality is not a sin to repent of.
Orthodoxy is the only way ☦️
This is how the end starts. Sowing social confusion and the break up of the home.
Homosexuality is a sin and it's clearly given therefore they can repent and still come back .....

i don’t respect heretics
I am a Catholic and I one hundred percent agree with this guy. Many people say that God is against LGBTQ people but I say that Jesus told us to love everyone. Doesn’t matter who they are, what they look like, or who they love. Love everyone and everything unconditionally and everybody is loved by God. We are his sheep and he is our shepherd. He was all about bringing people together. Don’t separate yourselves because of bad people who twist his words to their advantage. They are misguided and have been misled by the Devil. Anyway what I’m trying to say is, I Love All Of You No Matter What!
Then you aren’t a catholic lmao
There's a difference between love and acceptance
YOU are misguided and are being misled by the devil.
Can I thumbs up this comment twice? A dozen times?
You say they hate no they don’t but hating the sin is what you don’t like you want sin acceptance never will I betray scripture
hate the sin, love the sinner
At least they won’t start an inquisition.
You never expect the Spanish Inquisition!
Acceptance vs accepting sin are two different things...
Sin does not exist.
There is no mercy for the one who is pride of his omosexual identity!
So many abandoned this institution after the clergy abuse scandal. There was never any attempt at atonement.
1 Corinthians 5:9
I wrote you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people.
Here's one shining example of an LGBTQ+ Catholic (convert): Queen Kristina of Sweden, who lived from 1626 to 1689. She had become Catholic in her heart in 1652 but made her formal conversion in 1654 and it wasn't announced to the public until a year later. Pope Alexander VII received her at the Vatican, and Kristina lived in Rome for most of her life afterwards and was a permanent guest of the Vatican and five Popes in total.
Why do you specify convert? Aren't all Christians converts?
what makes her LGBT? Lmao. You provide no reason. Especially since that concept wouldn’t exist for another 300-400 years. You clearly know nothing of Catholicism and think we’re all liberal c*cks because of what your semi-atheist raised catholic friend said. Embarrassing
heretic
@@Grokford No.
If all Christians were like the good Father I wouldn't mind them so much. As it is I find most of them to be hate filled and want nothing to do with them. It's sad considering the teachings of Christ.
Wish Islam can do the same, but seems like that's pretty farfetched
I mean they'er are tons of pro-lgbt temples around they just won't get as much coverage
@jordan network
People who follow Islam pray in mosques. Not temples.
Nah
jordan network Because there are considerably less Muslims than Catholics that live in the U.S., that’s why they don’t get as much coverage.
I’m not religious but I already love this guy
Nor is he
yo, you assuming their gender? Authoritarian biggot
God Is LOVE, GOD continually INVITES US closer to friendship and fellowship with himself. Jesus loves us exactly where we are at but he loves us too much to let us stay where we are at. He calls us each to deny ourselves, pick up our Cross and FOLLOW HIM. We are being invited to follow his teachings, his ways, his life. Why? So we can experience freedom from our bondages, freedom from our sinful attachments, and to embrace a life filled with authentic hope, peace, joy and abundant life in Christ.
To push away LGBT people from Christ is to act as a Pharisee. Christians are called to walk with others on their path, not to push them away.
Well homosexuality is a sin. Christianity strongly forbids homosexuality; while we should love everyone, we shouldn't encourage sin, rather we should try and rid of this plague to help our fellow christians.
@@kratzy11 cool story, Pharisee
@@u4iadreams It’s not about pushing people away from christ. It’s moreso aclaiming they don’t support a literal sin.
It’s like if the church decided to say “we do not support murderers”. That wouldn’t be “to push away people from christ” that is just stating they don’t condone people murdering others.
It’s the same with the homosexuality; it’s a sin and the church doesn’t condone the normalisation of a sin, rather they try to help and cure this disease that plagues this community of people. Thereby helping fellow christians, not pushing them away.
Lemme send this to my Hispanic grandpa and his mother's

@@alexisrael9097not really. It’s a human decision. A lot of people have different interpretations on Bibles verses.
Why are we as people judging. When God is the one who will be judging every so called “believer”. I open my arms out to that community, hoping they will change they’re ways. In no means do you have to support the community, just guide them in the right direction for change without shoving your discontent down they’re minds.
Nah bruh Jesus was not a panderer. Jesus accepted those that repented their sins and changed. Homosexuality is a sin.
Amen
Mad respect for stating the truth
I do not agree with this man.
So does the vast majority of the rest of us Christians
The devil is a deceiver, he makes you sin thinking doing the right thing. Don’t trust the catholic church who kept the word away for ages and twisted it on their own behave. Read the word yourself and you‘ll find out.
Nope. Accepting someone and affirming them are two different things. God gave his rules on sexuality. At no point in the Bible does it say to engage in sin in order to accept someone. This is why the Catholic church is bad for Christians. Clerics, bureaucracy, riches... none of that is useful to the Christian.
James Martin needs to be excommunicated for actively promoting the sinful lifestyle
Amen
Heretical priest you are not married you shall he excommunicated at once
When Jesus talk to the adulterous woman, he said to her go and say no more except them into the church, don’t accept their lifestyle Jesus never said I accept you and your lifestyle
Only trinity can do that no oneness the true follower of Jesus Christ base on bible. But I respect evey religion as my own religion faith and decisions.

so this is what St Pius X says about modernism the synthesis of all heresies
The Catholic Church was never following Jesus so of course they would say this.
Janna, you don't know catholicism, so you better shut up. "Was never following Jesus", then who? Clearly you don't even have the smallest knowledge of christian history. Don't get hurt: unfortunately, it is a fact: you don't know what is catholicism.
Because they have no room to judge?
I don't hate the LGBTQ community, i love them and i pray for them, i pray they can overcome the sin that plagues them. That doesn't mean i wish harm to them or anything like that. Love the sinner hate the sin.
You're just a hateful bigot
This is you wishing harm on them. These views cause them harm. Not that you would care.
"hate Christianity, not the Christians" your religion is beyond disgusting
The Bible's have been translated repeatedly and word's have been added and subtracted from the word of God in the Bible's. The word's of God has been changed from his original living word's in the past. Humanity has done this. God's real name isn't in the English Bible's and Jesus's real name isn't in the English Bible's. Do any of you realize how many changes there has been from the past to the present. The word Homosexual was never in the original word of God. It turns out that the ancient world condoned and encouraged a system whereby young boys (8-12 years old) were coupled by older men. Ancient Greek documents show us how even parents utilized this abusive system to help their sons advance in society. So for most of history, most translations thought these verses were obviously referring the pederasty, not homosexuality! So for most of history, most translations thought these verses were obviously referring the pederasty, not homosexuality!Homosexual was added later translated from a word in German word that meant pedophilia. If you look those up they means pederasty, or knabenschander, (boy molester, in German.) Through all the translations words and meanings have been changed. This was never supposed to happen. It has happened. The son of God's real name wasn't Jesus. God's real name isn't in the English Bible's either.
The real name of God is Yahua and the real name of Jesus is Yahusha.
The real question is can Christians be welcoming without having to affirm their lifestyle? Jesus welcomed everyone, regardless of where they were at in their life, but did he affirm everyone’s lifestyle choices and encourage them to stay where they were at? Absolutely not! His entire message is about repentance and dying to ourselves and leaving our old life for something newer and better!
I'm not Catholic and frankly there have been some issues-, Catholics not always being open minded towards the LGBTQ community being one of them- that have led me to disagree with the Catholic church on several stances. But I will say I give kudos to this guy for preaching open mindedness and acceptance for people that are terrified of being rejected for who they are.
The comments are going to be fun today 🍿
*Thank you, Mr. Martin (sorry for no calling you Father Martin as I am not a Catholic). May the God, the One who taught us love and compassion though the life of Jesus, shield you from harm and guide you in Light and Peace.*
Why would you not call him father? Because of Matthew 23:9? lol

If you truly believe that the Bible is the word of God, please read in the new Testament 1 Corinthians 6:9,10.
I expected it to be something about Inclusion but when I read it i was disapointed. But keep in mind that the new Testament was written hundreds of years after Jesus lived and I hears a quote once that I truly believe "God did not create Man in His image, but Man created God in his image" - I dont know who said it though
I definitely wasn't expecting that passage. 🤷🏾♀️
I believe that certain part were 100-200 years after but I could be wrong but thats what i heard
Drinker_Of_ Milk you are correct about the year 33. Are you a believer? If so I would like to read more from you.
Thoughts for 1000 there are prominent religions out there that teach obedience is not necessary for salvation. This kind of thinking has lead billions the wrong way. Please read John 14:15.
Islam? Where it is punishable by death should first accept it.
A real Christian!!!
He’s catholic.
As long as he promotes their personal dignity and not their lifestyle choices, he is doing that which honors Christ. If he doesn’t, he would be lying to them.
Aren't pedophiles also marginalized? If we should stand up for all marginalized groups, why not stand up for them? Is there any depravity we shouldn't embrace?
Martin needs to repent
