8th Sunday in Ordinary Time (3/3/19) (audio) (signed homily)
- Sign the Petition to Repeal the Abortion Law (NYS Catholic Conf, 2/20/19)
- "One of the most important elements offered to the modern reader by [Saint Peter] Damian’s work is his understanding of 'sodomy' not merely as a sexual perversion involving two people of the same sex, but rather a continuum of sins that progressively depart from the nature of the sexual act. This continuum begins with acts such as contraception and self-abuse....in Damian’s eyes, the majority of Catholics today are practicing a form of 'sodomy,' one that may easily lead to worse perversions" (Matthew Cullinan Hoffman, 2/21/19).
- "this Dicastery, in accord with the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, believes it necessary to state clearly that the Church, while profoundly respecting the persons in question[9], cannot admit to the seminary or to holy orders those who practise homosexuality, present deep-seated homosexual tendencies or support the so-called 'gay culture'[10]" (Congregation for Catholic Education, 11/4/05).
