The Homosexual Colonization of The Catholic Chu= rch

November 2006

In Randy Engel's book The Rite of Sodomy: Homosexuality and the Roman Catholic Church (New Engel Publishing, 2006; 724-327-7379; www.riteofsodomy.com), she la= ys out the invasion, colonization, and the metastasization of the priesthood and religious life by homosexuals in the Catholic Church.=

On the first page of the Introduction, Engel notes that she wrote an articl= e in The Wanderer (summer of= 1987) in which the editor deleted her reference to "homosexual bishops." She says: "I remember promising myself" that as soon as "my familial and pro-life duties as the director of the U.S. Coalition for Life would permit, I would take a closer look at the members of the Catholic hierarchy…." She names the names of homosexual bishops with copi= ous citations and notes. This book, a decade in the making, reveals the homosex= ual "maelstrom" in the Catholic Church.

The book was published in July 2006 and has 1,174 pages containing 4,523 endnotes, and a detailed Index. There is some irrelevant material, but not = too much.

Mrs. Engel says her book is not for the faint of heart, which we will see later.

She says that "neither the Holy Father nor the Church hierarchy appear= to have the necessary will, heart and stomach" to clean up the homosexual= ity in the Church's ranks.

In the 20th century, the Second Vatican Council "triggered" the homosexual colonization in the Church. A lot of this is due to the pontific= ate of Pope Paul VI. Engel says that Paul VI was a homosexual, and she gives evidence for this. Engel says that "Pope Paul VI played a decisive rol= e in the selection and advancement of many homosexual members of the American hierarchy...." And it still continues.

Regarding the recent Vatican document on homosexuals in the seminary, Engel says: "In a Vatican Radio interview on November 29, 2005, Cardinal Grocholewski [Prefect of the Congregation for Catholic Education, which is charged with implementing the document] stated this mig= ht include a person who engaged in homosexual acts out of adolescent curiosity= ; or while intoxicated; or where he prostituted his body to obtain favors. High standards, indeed, for the most sublime of all vocations! The cardinal went= out of his way to state that the norms expressed in the document do not apply to already ordained homosexual priests,...acknowledging that Pope Benedict XVI, like his predecessor, Pope = John Paul II, has no plans to clean house and mount a serious attack on the Homosexual Collective within the Roman Catholic priesthood and religious life."

Pope Benedict XVI recently app= ointed Donald Wuerl to the Archdiocese of Washington, = D.C. Wuerl was a protégé of Bishop John Wrig= ht (initially the Auxiliary Bishop of Boston). According to Engel, "Wright's pederastic predilections = were an 'open secret' in the Archdiocese of Boston." Bill Burnett accused Bishop Wright of pederasty. Here is an instance of whe= re the book is not for the faint-hearted. If you don't like to read sexually graphic accounts, do not read what Engel has to say about the rite of sodomy here (for it will make you sick):

Burnett stated that = the abuse ritual began with drinks, a Coke for him and Coke and alcohol for [Fr. Raymond] Page [his uncle] and [Bishop] Wright. Wright would then undress hi= m, fall on his knees before the standing boy and cover him with kisses -- feet, penis, nipples and lips. He and Page would then undress and while the latter stimulated Wright from behind (without penetration), Bill would fellate the bishop. When Wright neared ejaculation he would turn Bill around and sodomi= ze him. Then Page took his turn at raping his nephew.... [We will spare you the rest of the gruesome story.] When it was all over, Wright handed Bill a $20 bill like he always did.

Then Bishop Wright was made Bishop of Pittsburgh, and this is where Wuerl became his private secretary, protég&eacu= te;, and remained at Wright's side (as he was made a cardinal) until Wright's de= ath in 1979. Is this guilt by association? Who knows?

Engel writes: "From 1980 to 1985, Fr. Wuerl served as Vice Rector and Rector of St. Paul Seminary. The seminary had a reputation for rampant homosexuality going back to the days of Bishop Wright." Then Wuerl became Bishop of Pitts= burgh in February 1988, fulfilling his protégé role.

Writes Engel: "After Donald Wuerl was post= ed to the Diocese of Pittsburgh, he permitted Dignity/Pittsburgh Masses to contin= ue for eight more years.... Dignity/Pittsburgh was one of the last chapters to= be evicted from Catholic facilities in the Uni= ted States [on orders from the Vatican]. According to Pit= tsburgh Post-Gazette staff writer Ann Rodgers-Melnick, 'Banning Dignity was a sad moment for Wuerl.'... Under Wuerl, the Pittsburgh Diocese has become a stomping ground for nationally-known doctrinal and moral miscreants includi= ng Father (now ex-priest) Matthew Fox, Sister Fran Ferder= , Father Robert Nugent, Sister Jeannine Gramick, = Father Raymond Brown and howling feminists Rosemary Radford R= uether and Monica Hellwig."

In the summer of 1996, Mother's Watch featured a lengthy article called "Bishop Wuerl's Magnificent Obsession.&quo= t; Engel mentions a segment "dealing with Wuerl's exceptional relations with the members of the Pittsburgh 'gay' community who refer to= the bishop as 'Donna' Wuerl...." We've heard t= hat too.

Engel also has doubts about Pope Benedict's manliness. Engel says: "Rome corresponden= ts report that the new pope has acquired expensive taste in designer shoes and accessories, a reputation for 'slightly eccentric behavior' and 'a penchant= for disguise.' During Christmas 2005, the pope was photographed showing off a r= ed medieval fur-lined hat -- a picture that can only be described as overtly camp. One month later, La Stampa reported that the= pope has been secretly visiting his old residence at 1 Piazza Citta Leonina disguised in black clerical robes in the company of another accessory -- his very handsome 48-year-old private secre= tary and traveling companion, Don Georg Gänswein." We know just the mention of this will upset some of our readers; however, t= here is no need to jump to conclusions about this. Let's hope he's straight as an arrow.

But there is a disturbing pattern: Benedict appointed "gay"-frien= dly Archbishop William Levada to be the head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith; Benedict appointed "gay"-friendly Donald Wuerl to be Archbishop of Washington, D.C.; and Benedict appointed "gay"-frie= ndly George Niederauer to be Archbishop of San Franc= isco. And Benedict signed the document on homosexuals in the seminary, a toothless document that can be interpreted any way you want.

Don't expect any reforms in the homosexual colonization of the Catholic Chu= rch, or what Engel calls the "Homosexual Collective." Sweetie-pie seminarians and priests will continue to flock into the priesthood, and som= e of them will advance up into the hierarchy. Business as us= ual.
