The Diocese of Providence defended Bishop Bruce Lewandowski's ‘listening’ sessions after declining to explain its adoption of LGBT terminology or whether attendees will be called to conversion.
According to the program published on the diocesan website, the pro-LGBT gatherings are divided into three parts.
The announcement opens with a well-known quotation from Pope Francis: “Todos, Todos, Todos (Everyone, Everyone, Everyone).
“As the diocesan bishop, Bishop Lewandowski has the pastoral responsibility to know and understand the spiritual needs of all the souls entrusted to his care,” diocesan communications director Michael F. Kieloch wrote in a response published by the Lepanto Institute.
Indeed, the Catechism of the Catholic Church explains:Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity, tradition has always declared that “homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered.”
