Staffers objected, bishop canceled.
Catholics who were upset about the workshop being given to CCD, RCIA and confirmation instructors contacted Church Militant asking for help investigating and exposing the serious problems with this workshop. Investigations revealed the following:
John Prandini, the one providing the workshop in question, “established the first diocesan LGBTQ Catholic Ministry in 2015 at St. Paul Catholic Newman Center.” Prandini was to represent the St. Paul Center at the workshop.
Prandini represented the St. Paul Catholic Newman Center in the Fresno Rainbow Pride Parade in 2017 and again in 2018.
The St. Paul Catholic Newman Center claims that its LGBT ministry has the full support of Bp. Armando Ochoa. The center states that its vision for the LGBT ministry is to make openly homosexual identities acceptable and welcome in Catholic settings.
The former pastor of the St. Paul Catholic Newman Center was Fr. Geoff Farrow, who revealed his own homosexuality in 2008 and is now acting as a same-sex “marriage” activist, performing sodomitical “marriages.”
Love the sinner, hate the sin? I think I’ve got that right.
