IN the NEWS - Pink Sunday?

"Because Sunday worship and the LGBT+ lifestyle are both

incompatible with God’s word and lack Biblical support, these two concepts are similar in that they are products of human invention.

On March 10, 2024, Rob McDowell, who specializes in facilitating Laudato Si’ and Creation Spirituality retreats at the Ignatius House Jesuit Retreat Center in Atlanta, published an article explaining the precise meaning of Pink Sunday.

Rob McDowell wrote:
• “In the Catholic Church, the Fourth Sunday in Lent is called ‘Laetare’ Sunday, from the Latin word for ‘Rejoice.’ Some people like to call it Pink Sunday, since on it, clergy commonly wear pink vestments, instead of the traditional Lenten purple.”
• “The Shrine (of the Immaculate Conception) continued to grow and became known as ‘the gay Catholic Church’—even though it is mostly straight! It has long hosted a booth at the Atlanta Pride

Festival … We march in the Pride Parade wearing our Shrine Pride t-shirts.”
• “When LGBTQ champion Fr. James Martin, S.J. came to Atlanta, he spoke at the Shrine and was greeted by protestors outside. If Pope Francis wants our parishes to be field hospitals, the Shrine is what he had in mind.”
• “So, I wish you a joyful Pink Sunday, hoping that you have, or will find, a church home that allows you to rejoice in your beautiful LGBTQ+ self. Then you can rejoice as we do at the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, where we gather and pray in the house we built where prophets speak words that are strong and true … and thank you for making almost every Sunday a Pink Sunday.”

“Joyful Pink Sunday” is a term used by the pro-LGBT+ Jesuits in the Catholic Church who want every Sunday to be a Pink Sunday.
All of this is part of the great “falling away” (Greek: apostasy) predicted in 2 Thessalonians 2:3 that would take place just before the second coming of Jesus. 

Many would be “falling away” from key Biblical truths. 

This apostasy exists due to the rejection of God’s will for humanity. According to Genesis 5:2 and Matthew 19:4-6, God intended for human sexuality to consist of one man and one woman united in holy matrimony and for everyone to observe the seventh-day Sabbath (Matthew 24:20; Hebrews 4:4, 9)."
