February 27, 2009, (LifeSiteNews.com) – Yet another of the Miami Archdiocese’s parishes is flaunting its disregard for orthodox Christian moral teaching by hosting a concert this evening by the Miami Gay Men’s Chorus.
The concert (titled Serenade), the Chorus’s debut performance of 2009, is being held at Saint Patrick Catholic Church in Miami Beach on Friday, February 27. LifeSiteNews contacted both the parish and the Archdiocese of Miami’s Communications Office; no official comment was forthcoming as of press time.
This is not the first time an institution under the auspices of the Archdiocese has given a platform to the Miami Gay Men’s Chorus. In May of 2008, Holy Cross Hospital (in Fort Lauderdale) co-sponsored a senior-citizens talent show with the Chorus.
Catholic teaching clearly distinguishes homosexuality from the so-called “gay lifestyle”. The former is considered a psychological disorder, the latter promotes freely chosen sexual behavior that is considered seriously sinful by the Church.
The Miami Archdiocese is said to be no stranger to scandal and wide-spread theological dissent. Two of the Archdiocese’s parishes, Saint Anthony and Saint Maurice, are listed as “Gay-Friendly” in a directory published by the Conference of Catholic Lesbians (CCL).
LifeSiteNews has previously reported on theological dissent sponsored by the Archdiocese’s two universities. Just this past Monday, February 24, Saint Thomas University’s School of Theology Ministry featured a guest-lecture by “ecospiritualist” Sr. Miriam Therese MacGillis, a Dominican nun who promotes goddess-worship. In 2007, LifeSiteNews reported Barry University’s granting a theology award to another notorious goddess-worshipping feminist Dominican nun, Sr. Elizabeth Johnson. Both universities are also categorized as “Gay-Friendly” by the CCL.

Ms. Stark:
Your assumptions are as uncharitable as your rants incoherent.
On behalf of LifeSiteNews, I did contact the proper authorities, through their proper channels, in order to get comment and/or clarification. Not only did I contact the parish in question, but I called the Archdiocese’s Communications Office, and was told that a statement would be forthcoming “first thing the following morning.” I delayed putting the story to press in order to allow the Archdiocese to have their side of the story heard. They have yet to do so. And neither has the parish.
Really, the event speaks for itself.
Thank you for your input.

Have you checked out Jeanne Starks blog… she is apparently a dissident Catholic who supports Obama. Her comments regarding the pro-life movement says it all “THE PRO LIFERS DO HAVE A BRAIN…FINALLY BACKED OBAMA” http://findmeinfloridaagain.blogspot.com/2008/04/pro-lifers-do-have-brainfinally-backed.html
Her comments regarding being faithful to the magesterium are laughable. Her own blog says “Please be kind and not rude. ” yet she shows up here to leave unkind and rude comments. What is up with that?
Are you sure you are not part of tht chorus? So what you support Murdoch, who has naked women on page six of the Sun. HE OWNS THAT AND FOX NEWS.
NICE TRY. BUT THIS IS THE TRUTH.
YOU ARE SOO SOOO EFFECTIVE.
O BTW, I POST THE SUNDAY READINGS NOW. WHAT DO YOU DO? CUT PEOPLE DOWN.
