Pope Francis opened the door Sunday to greater acceptance of gay priests inside the ranks of Roman Catholicism as he flew home to the Vatican from his maiden trip overseas. Fordham University Professor of Catholic theology Terrence Tilley discusses the implications.

SOUTHERN BAPTISTS JOINING THE POPE
FOR A CONFERENCE ON MARRIAGE AND THE FAMILY:
(Friday Church News Notes, November 7, 2014,www.wayoflife.org, fbns@wayoflife.org, 866-295-4143):
Southern Baptists Rick Warren and Russell Moore are scheduled to speak later this month in a Vatican conference on marriage and family life. Other speakers include Pope Francis, Catholic bishops and priests, plus Mormons, Jews, and Muslims. The November 17-19 conference, “An International Interreligious Colloquium on the Complementarity of Man and Woman,” will feature about 30 speakers representing 14 religions. It is sponsored by the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity and other Catholic entities. Moore, who heads the SBC’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, says, “I am willing to go anywhere, when asked, to bear witness to what we as evangelical Protestants believe about marriage and the gospel, especially in times in which marriage is culturally imperiled” (“Russell Moore, Rick Warren to join Vatican conference,” ReligionNews.com, Nov. 3, 2014). This is humanistic thinking that flies in the face of the Bible’s commands to mark and avoid those who teach heresy. Examples are Romans 16:17-18; 1 Corinthians 15:33; 2 Corinthians 6:14-18; 11:1-4; 2 Timothy 3:5; and 2 John 8-11. Even the most “conservative” of evangelicals have renounced biblical separation, participating in unscriptural alliances and supporting others who so participate. “Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away” (2 Timothy 3:5).

Breaking News: Fordham University Faculty Receives Equal Benefits
By Ashley WennersHerron, Editor-in-Chief, with reporting by Christina Frasca, Co-News Editor
of The Observatory blog:
On April 30, Fordham University faculty members won a four year fight for equal health benefits
for every member of the faculty, regardless of sexual orientation. Previously, legally domiciled adults (LDAs) were not recognized in the faculty’s health benefits package. This means that same-sex marriages and partnerships, including relationships between two men, two women, or between an unmarried man and woman, were not afforded the same benefits as marriages between heterosexual individuals. LDA benefits also extend to faculty members who may be responsible for caring for an elderly parent or some other dependent adult in their household.
Opposition by Timothy Dolan, the Archbishop of New York State, was cited by multiple faculty
members as the reason the Rev. Joseph M. McShane, S.J., and president of the University, refused to approved LDA benefits prior to the April 30 faculty senate meeting. It was speculated that Dolan did not agree that domestic partnerships should receive the same rights as traditional marriages.
Andrew Clark, associate professor of French and comparative literature and the chair of the
committee on salary and benefits for the faculty senate said that McShane announced that he had spoken with Dolan and he was now willing to put LDA benefits in place for all faculty members. Dolan was quoted in a Sept. 20, 2009 issue of New York Magazine in support of equal health benefits for all people.
“I’m very happy. I think we’re finally treating our community as a whole, and it means good things
for Fordham,” Clark said. “The response of the faculty of the senate and the people in audience was one of joy and thanks and relief.”
Patrick Hornbeck, an asst. professor of theology and a member of the committee on salary and
benefits, said, “It’s a moment where we feel a lot of relief and joy and great deal of peace for an issue the faculty has been fighting for so long… It’s a remarkable sign of what the Fordham community can do when it puts its mind to doing important things for justice.”
The benefits package will be based on the model the University of San Francisco uses. Each
member of the faculty will be allowed to claim one individual for their LDA benefits. There are two classes of LDA benefits, one for domestic partners, the other for dependent adults. Each class includes various requirements and validation, but, as Hornbeck said, “It’s equality. Every member [of the faculty] gets the option.”
The president’s office will not be releasing an official statement at this time.

"The 'Smoke of Satan' at Georgetown University
on Coming Out Day":
Published on Nov 10, 2013
The Smoke of Satan at Georgetown University on Coming Out Day -- http://dld.bz/cTZzN -- Since Georgetown is the oldest Catholic university in the United States, one would think that Catholic doctrine and tradition are upheld there. However, this is not the case. Sadly, we found the exact opposite to be true.
"That Belief is Wrong!"
As my classmate and I approached Red Square -- the free speech zone -- we saw posted high on the brick wall of the administration building a large banner announcing: "Coming Out Week: Celebrating our Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning, and Ally communities." Immediately below the banner two male students, wearing rainbow beads and tee-shirts with the words "I am," manned a folding table draped with a large "GU Pride" banner.
The table offered pro-homosexual buttons, rainbow necklaces and scarves. Nearby stood a life-size "closet" door attached to a frame covered with a homosexual flag. The two students, one wearing a rainbow Dr. Seuss-like hat, turned to us as we approached: "How's it going boys?"
"Good" was all we could muster. We asked them for an interview.
"Sure," said the one to our right. "Okay, so today is National Coming-Out Day... people come by, pick up free stuff, and show off their pride! It's about letting everyone around you know that they support the community or they're a part of it."
My colleague, holding the camera, then asked how they justify such things given that "the Catechism of the Catholic Church says that homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered."
— "Unfortunately, the Catholic Church is sort of a hierarchical institution; it doesn't always recognize the importance of individual revelation."
— "But how does that explain it (homosexual acts) as being intrinsically disordered?" continued my friend.
Georgetown student: — "Well, I'll say very blatantly, that that belief is wrong! At Georgetown," he continued, "there are Jesuits who think that what GU Pride does is wrong, but there are Jesuits who love what we do and who are supportive of the community. The Catholic Church isn't as undemocratic on the more human, sort of the, umm, each level of the, each individual... what is it? Oh, each individual diocese, as people make it out to be. Uhh, and that's, like I said, demonstrated here, where what we do is celebrate diversity, celebrate identity, which is so critical to the Catholic mission."

"Notre Dame Shuts Down Traditional Marriage Table":
Published on May 6, 2014
Original footage. Notre Dame police tell young Catholics promoting traditional on campus to shut down their table.
http://www.tfpstudentaction.org/what-...
South Bend, Indiana: Young volunteers with Tradition Family Property Student Action were ordered to "cease and desist" promoting traditional marriage at the University of Notre Dame on Friday, April 25.
"Permission to have a table had been granted through an officially recognized on-campus student group," said TFP Student Action director John Ritchie. "But that permission was revoked for some odd reason. Police officers arrived soon after we started giving out pro-family literature and cut the event short, informing us that we were no longer welcome to talk to students about the importance of preserving the sanctity of marriage between 1 man and 1 woman, which fully agrees with 2,000 years of Catholic teaching," Ritchie explained.
