"Fr. Maikel Prasing, a parish priest in the southern region of Brabant in the Netherlands, has called on churchgoers to sign a petition in favor of a rainbow-colored pedestrian crossing in front of the Catholic basilica of Oudenbosch of which he is the rector.
He made the appeal during Sunday Mass, the so-called “Carnival-mass” celebrated in some parishes in Noord-Brabant and Zuid-Limburg, the historically Catholic provinces of the Netherlands on the Sunday before the beginning of Lent on Ash Wednesday.
Fr. Prasing explained during his homily that it is important for everyone to feel “welcome,” whether they are homosexual, lesbian, bisexual or transgender. He hopes for the pedestrian crossing to be placed right in front of the St. Agnes and Barbara Basilica, an imposing building erected in the 19th century as a (downsized) mingled replica of the Archbasilica of St. John Lateran – the Pope’s cathedral – and St. Peter’s in Rome." Lifesite
In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire.......I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die...
