Archbishop Charles Chaput: ‘Fr. James Martin does not speak with authority on behalf of the Church’

PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania, September 19, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – In a statement challenging pro-LGBT Jesuit Father James Martin and bishops who support him, Archbishop Charles Chaput, O.F.M. Cap. warned his diocese – and by extension the entire Catholic Church – “regarding the ambiguity about same-sex related issues found throughout the statements and activities of Father James Martin.”
The Philadelphia prelate was moved to speak out after Martin delivered a lecture based on his controversial book, Building A Bridge, in his diocese at St. Joseph’s University.
Chaput’s statement is being widely circulated.
“A pattern of ambiguity in his teachings tends to undermine his stated aims, alienating people from the very support they need for authentic human flourishing,” said Chaput. “Due to the confusion caused by his statements and activities regarding same-sex related (LGBT) issues, I find it necessary to emphasize that Father Martin does not speak with authority on behalf of the Church, and to caution the faithful about some of his claims.”
Bishop Thomas Paprocki of the Diocese of Springfield, Illinois quickly issued a statement supporting Chaput, saying that aspects of Martin’s teachings are “deeply scandalous,” and his “messages create confusion among the faithful and disrupt the unity of the Church.”
Chaput asserts that Martin’s encouragement to Catholics who experience same-sex attraction to identify as “gay” or “transgender” is “the opposite of the Gospel’s clear teaching that our identity is found in Jesus Christ, created in the image and likeness of God and called to be sons and daughters of God.”
While at times going out of his way to commend and compliment the Jesuit, Chaput offered a concise and systematic five-point condemnation of the most egregious components of Martin’s pro-LGBT message:
- Father Martin suggests that same-sex attracted people and those with gender dysphoria should be labeled according to their attraction and dysphoria, calling for use of the phrase “LGBT Catholic” in Church documents and language. But while the Church does teach that the body is integral to human identity, our sexual appetites do not define who we are.
- Father Martin has, in the past, suggested that people are born “gay.” In his own words, “[i]t is a fact that people are born this way … [a] psychological, psychiatric, and biological truth.”
- Father Martin suggests that Catholic teaching on same-sex attraction as “objectively disordered” (for example, in CCC 2358) is cruel and should be modified. In his words, “saying that one of the deepest parts of a person — the part that gives and receives love — is disordered is needlessly hurtful.” But here Father Martin misrepresents Catholic belief … The suggestion that the wisdom of the Church, rooted in the Word of God and centuries of human experience, is somehow cruel or misguided does grave harm to her mission. Families have been destroyed because of this misperception, and Father Martin regrettably contributes ambiguity to issues that demand a liberating biblical clarity.
- Father Martin partners with organizations like New Ways Ministry that oppose or ignore the teaching of the Church, and he endorses events, such as PRIDE month, that cause confusion for the faithful.
- Father Martin — no doubt unintentionally — inspires hope that the Church’s teachings on human sexuality can be changed. In his book, Building A Bridge, he writes: “For a teaching to be really authoritative it is expected that it will be received by the people of God … From what I can tell, in the LGBT community, the teaching that LGBT people must be celibate their entire lives … has not been received.” One might easily, and falsely, infer from such language that the Church’s teaching on sexual intimacy lacks binding authority for same-sex attracted Catholics.
Chaput noted that although Martin claims that he has never challenged Church teachings, “what is implied or omitted often speaks as loudly as what is actually stated, and in the current climate, incomplete truths do, in fact, present a challenge to faithful Catholic belief.”

Archbishop Chaput continued:
When people hear that “the Church welcomes gay people” or needs to be more “inclusive and welcoming” without also hearing the conditions of an authentically Christian life set for all persons by Jesus Christ and his Church — namely, living a life of chastity — they can easily misunderstand the nature of Christian conversion and discipleship.
For this reason, Catholic teaching always requires more than polite affirmation or pro forma agreement, particularly from those who comment publicly on matters of doctrine. Faithful Catholics who are same-sex attracted need support and encouragement in the virtue of chastity. They deserve to hear — as all people do — the truth about human sexuality spoken clearly and confidently. Anything less lacks both mercy and justice.
In response to Chaput’s criticism, Fr. Martin took to social media to justify the message he has been presenting over the last few years.
Martin attempted to crush Chaput’s criticism by claiming the blessing of a higher authority than that of an archbishop: Pope Francis.
“The lecture at St. Joseph’s University this week, which prompted your article, is the same lecture that I presented at the World Meeting of Families in Dublin last year, the text of which was vetted and approved beforehand by the Vatican.”
“What I am trying to do … is encourage Catholics to see LGBT people as more than just sexual beings, to see them in their totality,” said Martin, overlooking the fact that his message accomplishes the opposite, firmly entrenching the same-sex attracted in gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender identities and reducing them to the sum of their sexual attractions.
“Father Martin correctly expresses God’s love for all people, while on the other, he either encourages or fails to correct behavior that separates a person from that very love,” said Bishop Paprocki in his statement. “This is deeply scandalous in the sense of leading people to believe that wrongful behavior is not sinful.”
“Father Martin’s public messages create confusion among the faithful and disrupt the unity of the Church by promoting a false sense that immoral sexual behavior is acceptable under God’s law,” said Paprocki. “People with same-sex attraction are indeed created and loved by God and are welcome in the Catholic Church. But the Church’s mission to these brothers and sisters is the same as to all her faithful: to guide, encourage, and support each of us in the Christian struggle for virtue, sanctification, and purity.”

Eight extreme things Fr. James Martin just said about Catholics and gay ‘marriage’
Fr. James Martin at Boston College, 2014.
Urge Pope Francis to remove Fr. James Martin as a Vatican adviser. Sign the petition!
September 21, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) – Father James Martin is one of the most vocal advocates for the Catholic Church’s acceptance of active homosexuality.
Since the publication of his book Building a Bridge, the Jesuit priest and newly made Vatican advisor has pushed his message to major media outlets and through his large social media following.
In an August 29 talk at Villanova University, Fr. Martin made some of his most extreme statements yet on homosexuality and Catholicism. He said a Catholic attending a same-sex “wedding” is just as acceptable as a Catholic attending a Jewish wedding. He blasted nearly everyone who opposes same-sex “marriage” as “homophobic” and repeated his mantra that his critics are just secretly gay. He also suggested that opposing same-sex “marriage” is like opposing interracial marriage and that African Catholics are one of the biggest obstacles to Church acceptance of homosexuality.
1) Church teaching on homosexuality isn’t ‘authoritative’
At Villanova, Fr. Martin said:
Briefly put, I mean and I’m no theologian, but, you know, for a teaching to be really, um, authoritative it is expected that it will be received by the people of God, by the faithful. So you look at something, like, say, the Assumption…people accept that. They go to the Feast of the Assumption, they believe in the Assumption. It’s received. From what I can tell, in the LGBT community, the teaching that LGBT people must be celibate their entire lives – not just before marriage as it is for most people but their entire lives – has not been received. Now, I say this and people go crazy. And this is simply based on LGBT people that I speak to. Now there are some that believe that – I would say it’s a very small percentage of people, right – but that’s a simple fact. You can say that they don’t agree with it. I would say the teaching therefore has not been received by the community to which it was largely directed. And so the question is, you know, what do we do with that? Now that’s the kind of question to circle back to your original question – that reflection, you know, what do we do with a teaching that has seemingly not been received by the community to which it was directed – is a theological question that bishops and LGBT people need to think about.
By Fr. Martin’s logic, Catholic teaching on the Eucharist wouldn’t be authoritative because of how many Catholics reject it. Catholic doctrine on the Eucharist – and many other things – was rejected by Martin Luther and led to large numbers of Catholics committing apostasy. The Jews rejected what Jesus said about eating His flesh and blood, and they were some of the first people to whom He preached that teaching.
What about the many Christians (and more specifically, Catholics) who don’t believe in the Resurrection of the Body, even though they recite the Apostle’s Creed every Sunday?
And what about Church teaching on premarital sex and contraception? Those doctrines are openly rejected by a large number of Catholics today, and the sexual revolution’s hold on the culture makes it unlikely that that will change in the near future.
2) A Catholic attending a same-sex ‘wedding’ is just like a Catholic attending a Jewish wedding
Fr. Martin mused:
Why is it so terrible to go to a gay wedding, but it is not terrible to go to a Jewish wedding? You know, let’s say – seriously – if your daughter, let’s say if you decided to convert to Judaism and you married Andy who was Jewish, right, your parents would probably be disappointed, I would assume, you know, or confused, or whatever. But the idea that they couldn’t go or would refuse to go um, it’s very surprising to me. So I think Catholics need to see it in light of that, that it is a different tradition…different belief system than most Catholics are used to…but it’s supporting the person that you love. So it’s very sad to me that people still agonize over this.
Fr. Martin maintains that going to a same-sex “wedding” is just attending a “civil affair.”
“How is that, why is that any worse, in a sense, [than going to] a Jewish wedding?” he asked. “I have a very hard time with that.”
Catholics refusing to attend same-sex weddings are “saying is it’s worse to be a Christian and gay than it is to reject Jesus and be straight,” he claimed.
Converting to another religion and entering a same-sex “marriage” are both rejections of Catholic teaching, a fact Fr. Martin muddied with this analogy.
The Catholic Church teaches that if an unbaptized man and woman get married, even though their marriage isn’t sacramental, it’s still a valid marriage.
As My Catholic Faith, a 1949 version of the Baltimore Catechism explains: “A marriage between two unbaptized persons, although not a sacrament, if contracted validly, is recognized valid by the Church and is indissoluble” (page 339).
However, it would be considered sinful for a Catholic to marry a non-Catholic outside of the Catholic Church.
But a same-sex “marriage” will never be valid because it’s not a man-woman covenant ordered toward the procreation and education of children. Nor can it be moral because the Church labels sodomy one of the four sins that “cries out to heaven for vengence.”
3) Same-sex couples should be able to kiss during Mass: ‘What’s the terrible thing?’
When an openly gay man said that he and his partner don’t kiss during the Sign of Peace during Mass, Fr. Martin said he hopes that “in ten years you will be able to kiss your partner or, you know, soon to be your husband.”
He said:
I always say that LGBT people have more faith than, I think, straight people because of that. I mean imagine you – what you have just described is really interesting, Brandon. You have internalized rejection already. You don’t need to even be told that you’re rejected in the Church, you’ve internalized it and that’s very sad… A lot of the people that Jesus came into contact with did the same thing. Think of like the woman with the hemorrhage, right, who doesn’t even feel worthy to kind of stand up and greet him, she reaches down and touches the hem of the garment; or the Samaritan women, right, who comes to the well at noon in the heat of the day because… we think, she’s been married five times and she’s probably embarrassed. Maybe people didn’t know enough to tell her you’re not welcome to come out at the regular time when other women come; she comes because she is embarrassed and she kinda internalized that and that’s sad. So I hope in ten years you will be able to kiss your partner or, you know, soon to be your husband. Why not? What’s the terrible thing? And think of all the people in Church who have all sorts of other things on their conscience…it’s up to the institutional Church I think to make you feel welcome.
Catholics who agree with the Church’s teaching on sexuality would likely say that the “terrible thing” about two men kissing during Mass would simply be that the Church teaches it’s sinful.
Same-sex relationships are “intrinsically disordered,” according to the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Sodomy is one of the four most serious sins, a sin that “cries out to heaven.”
Why would any priest want people to seemingly affirm that…especially during Mass?
Why would any priest want young children to be exposed to that…especially during Mass?
And why would any priest call two men engaging in sodomy “husbands” when the Church teaches they never can be that for each other?
Yes, everyone at Mass has sins “on their conscience.” And if those sins are serious, they may not receive Holy Communion until they’ve gone to Confession.
But not everyone at Mass is openly flouting the Church’s teaching and demanding the Church “welcome” it.
Lastly, is Fr. Martin suggesting that being in a same-sex relationship is something that should bother one’s conscience? That would seem to go against everything else he is saying.
4) It’s very hard to oppose redefining marriage and not be ‘homophobic’
Regarding the question of if it’s possible for someone to oppose same-sex “marriage” and not be homophobic, Fr. Martin said:
I would tend to agree with you because I would say that there – you could have some uh, hard and fast, and legitimate and reasonable theological objections [to same-sex marriage] in terms of the sacramentality, in terms of uh Biblical…and even though we shouldn’t read the Bible literally – Catholics don’t read the Bible literally – um…but I also think that, for the most part, I do find that there is a very high correlation between people who are against that [same-sex marriage] and people who are in fact homophobic. And so it’s that whole ‘hate the sin, love the sinner’ argument, I know it’s not exactly the same, but it reminds me of that in a sense – people say, well I can be against gay marriage and not be homophobic. But then when you hear a lot of people, they sound pretty damn homophobic. And I can say, ‘hate the sin and love the sinner,’ but when you listen to them, there’s no sense of love at all.
Such people don’t have gay friends or “it’s all former gays,” said Fr. Martin. “I often find that the people who do oppose those things [same-sex marriage] are very homophobic and that is easily discerned, I mean, just by the way they talk about LGBT people and the language they use and the snottiness they have…”
Fr. Martin, is it homophobic to encourage people to seek holiness, which the Church teaches will help them get to heaven?
5) His critics are secretly gay themselves
Regarding the “rage” Fr. Martin says he experiences online: “I said to this psychiatrist friend of mine, ‘where does that come from?’ …the sort of turning red in the face and screaming at me, and this psychiatrist, not, you know, alone, said, ‘it’s their own complicated sexuality’…and psychiatrist will tell us, and psychologists, that we’re all on a continuum. We’re all on a spectrum, right? You know, there’s bisexuality in most people.”
Fr. Martin says his LGBT advocacy is “terribly threatening” for people who fear their own “complex sexuality.”
“Rather than directing the anger internally they direct it out,” he said. “I know just for the record that a lot of people who are critiquing me online are self-professed…they will say this on their websites, former gays.”
“There’s a lot of conflict going on,” he said. “It’s sad because what happens is their own junk inside gets focused outwards on people who are actually trying to live a more integrated life. Celibacy is supposed to be a gift. Or it’s something that you choose. For the LGBT person, it’s uh you know, in terms of the Catechism and in terms of many Catholic thinkers and Catholic leaders…it is seen by many LGBT people as an imposition, which is what it sounds like you feel it is.”
6) Church teaching from 1968 is ‘old’
“Look at Humanae Vitae. Humanae Vitae is still in effect, and as far as I can tell, the large majority of Western Catholics have made their peace with that. And yet that Church teaching has not changed. And that’s a much older Church teaching. I mean, in the sense that’s – Humanae Vitae’s 1968 and a lot of stuff we’re talking about is, you know, very new.”
7) ‘Your love is beautiful’
It’s a “great story that they can celebrate with you,” Fr. Martin said of a man sharing how his Pentecostal parents gradually became more accepting of his homosexuality.
“Your love is beautiful,” he said. It’s unclear whether he was referring to the sodomitical relationship or the parent-child relationship.
“I mean, I would say, not so much what would Jesus do…[but] how could God not rejoice in that kind of reconciliation and bridge-building?” he asked.
8) Being against gay “marriage” is like being racist
Let’s say somebody in your office…if someone in an office said to you, well, you know, I hear you’re marrying that person from West Africa and I just cannot bring myself to go to the wedding. You would feel angry and probably insulted – you probably also would feel sorry for that person. Like, wow, in this day and age, that person is still racist? Where is that coming from? So, I think pity is probably a – Jesus, when he meets people who don’t understand things, he says his heart was moved with pity. And also to always be open to those people changing. Because I think that happens a lot, actually.
Actually, Catholics, not the ‘LGBT community,’ are marginalized within the Church
An honest question for Fr. Martin: Do you support same-sex “marriage”? Or are you just one of the very few people who is against it but isn’t a bigot? Can you point me to times when you have actually explicitly affirmed the Church’s teaching that homosexual activity can never be permitted, and that the legal recognition of same-sex unions must be opposed?
Fr. Martin paints a picture of the Church as a giant homophobic institution that shuns people who are same-sex attracted. This couldn’t be farther from the truth.
Most Catholic priests in the United States – those from Fr. Martin’s generation, at least – bend over backwards to not preach Church teaching on sexual morality. Most Catholics can go their whole lives without hearing a homily on homosexuality or contraception.
(Fr. Martin accidentally acknowledges this when he says that a large number of Catholic clergy themselves are homosexual.)
The people actually at the peripheries of the Catholic Church are those who believe in and strive to follow the Church’s moral teachings. They are constantly vilified by clerics and the secular media alike.
Many left-leaning priests affirm people’s homosexual desires as aligned with God’s will more readily than they will affirm people’s desires for Latin-heavy liturgy or homilies about mortal sin.
For all of Fr. Martin’s talk about welcoming people and being “inclusive,” he sure seems to marginalize and exclude anyone who disagrees with him.

THE VORTEX: CONCEALING A LIE IN THE TRUTH – A devilish ploy
September 23, 2019
TRANSCRIPT
Thanks to constant coverage by Church Militant and others regarding Fr. James Martin’s homoheresy and constant personal appearances on Church property, some U.S. bishops are finally beginning to speak.
This was occasioned by Martin’s talk last week at St. Joseph’s University in Philadelphia, a Jesuit property.
The archbishop of Philadelphia, Charles Chaput, issued a statement after Martin had left town cautioning Catholics about what Martin says.
That is at least a start, but the statement could be classified as a day late — literally — and a dollar short. More on that in a moment, but first, Chaput was not alone among bishops with words about Martin.
Springfield, Illinois, Bp. Thomas Paprocki issued a much more succinct and to-the-point statement about Martin’s ramblings, talking about things like “sin,” “scandal” and “immorality.”
And even Knoxville Bp. Richard Stika jumped on social media to join his voice to others warning about Martin.
These are all good starts, no doubt, but when it comes to a person like James Martin, who some on social media have taken to calling “Brokeback Martin” for his advocacy of homosexuality’s acceptance, the warnings and cautions need to be considerably stronger.
In fact, Chaput’s statement cautioning Catholics about Martin had enough ambiguity, in part, that Martin initially expressed gratitude for Chaput’s “thoughtful response.”
Martin was able to split hairs with Chaput’s initial statement because, frankly, Chaput’s initial statement allowed for it.
Various clerics when speaking about Martin publicly always come out and first thank him and heap all kinds of kind words on him for his “ministry.” They do this as a kind of way of backing into the discussion — a kind of “you are a nice guy, but” type of approach.
Only some point later do they begin to approach his errors, and only then very delicately.
First, Martin deserves exactly zero praise or applause for his “ministry.” His occasional use of truth should not be praised or even acknowledged.
Martin does, here and there, let words fall from his lips that are arranged in such a way as to convey a true thought. But he uses that truth merely as a vehicle to smuggle in the great lie.
For example, he says he has never challenged Church teaching. That’s about as hair-slicing, technically “true” as a person could get. What he always deftly avoids, however, is not saying he doesn’t challenge the teaching, but if he actually believes it. That is an entirely different issue.
Martin is about as skilled a practitioner of wordsmithing as you will find. For example, he routinely acknowledges what the Church teaches — big deal.
Satan acknowledges what the Church teaches. Every enemy of the Church acknowledges what the Church teaches. Planned Parenthood acknowledges what the Church teaches.
Just because someone says something that is true should not carry with it some automatic praise for the person.
By that standard, Our Blessed Lord should have turned around to the devil during their desert encounter and praised him for accurately, truthfully quoting Scripture. Satan spoke the truth, in so far as he was simply restating Scripture.
But Our Lord didn’t praise him, He condemned him because the intent in saying truthful words was to introduce evil just nicely packaged up. Martin is also extremely deceptive by constantly appealing to the fact that he has never challenged Church teaching.
That’s because he’s too slick to reveal his full hand; that would be Building a Bridge too far. Instead, he simply gives public approval of other things and people who challenge Church teaching.
He posts in support of Pride Month, a homosexual cultural corruption specifically envisioned to normalize sodomy and same-sex relationships.
He uses the term “LGBT” in reference to same-sex attracted Catholics non-stop, adopting the language specifically so as to condone it.
He states LGBT Catholic couples should kiss in Mass during the sign of peace.
He retweets other people’s posts supportive of homosexual marriage. He sits on stage with civilly married homosexual men, praising their fidelity and support for each other.
Nowhere on record has James Martin ever actually affirmed the Church’s teaching.
Simply stating it is not enough. A profession of faith from Martin himself needs to be elicited not saying he knows what the Church teaches but rather that he believes what the Church teaches, that homosexual acts are disordered, that marriage can only be between one man and one woman — that for same-sex individuals, their condition is a cross which must be borne by them, just as everyone who attains Heaven must bear his or her own cross in their own individual lives.
Martin wraps lies up in truth and then relies on a cowardly episcopate to not get to the actual heart of the matter. It’s a clever strategy, and one that needs its mask ripped off.
At press time of this Vortex, a war of words, it might be called, was brewing between Chaput and Martin as Martin issued another response to Chaput, then Chaput responded to Martin’s response.
Stay tuned for more on that as it no doubt develops further, but in the meantime, while we are speaking of things left unsaid, notice how terribly few U.S. bishops have jumped in on this — again, as of press time, as far as we can tell, only three.
Martin publicly states that he is grateful to Chaput for beginning a dialogue on this topic.
So, good, let’s have a dialogue. The U.S. bishops are constantly tripping all over themselves babbling on about dialogue and the need for dialogue and dialoguing about dialogue.
So, here you go, bishops. Let’s start dialoguing.
First question in the dialogue: Fr. Martin, do you believe, affirm and accept the teachings of the Catholic Church regarding homosexuality?

Catechism of Catholic Church teaches that, “Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the same sex. It has taken great variety of forms through the centuries and in different cultures. Its psychological genesis remains largely unexplained. Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity (cf. Gen 19:1-29; Rom 1:24-27; 1 Cor 6:10; 1 Tim 1:10), tradition has always declared that ‘homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered” (CDF, Persona humana 8). They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved” (CCC: 2357).
