The Dec. 24, 2023, Dallas Morning News (DMN) article.
Recently the DMN had an article about Pope Francis blessing of same-sex unions. Pope Francis is trying to look sympathetic to the LGBT, but without giving up the Catholic churches homophobia. Pope Francis’ “blessing” isn’t. However, that will be reported on separately. When it is, the link to the report will be added to this report.
The DMN, had a member’s only report, Dec. 19, 2023, on the reaction to Pope Francis’ recent declaration about blessing same sex unions titled, “Catholics, LGBTQ advocates disagree on Pope’s decision on same-sex blessings.”
The comment of a Christopher Malloy, head of the Theology Dept. at the University of Dallas caught my attention.
In response to a request for comment on the recent news, Christopher Malloy, chair of the theology department at University of Dallas, emailed a statement to The Dallas Morning News that included the following lines:
“God blesses sinners every day but not as sinners. God does not aid and abet evil. God’s blessings work for the destruction of sin, not its continuance. Thus, while God works to convert each of us sinners every day, he would never bless a relationship defined by the gravely evil act of sodomy.” [Boldface added.]
This is his tweet saying the same thing on X (formerly Twitter).

I am somewhat familiar with the Univ. of Dallas. When I was researching and being academically published on the neo-Confederate movement, the leading intellectuals of that movement was M.E. Bradford and there was involvement in the neo-Confederate movement by the Univ. of Dallas, but I am not going to get into that here.
The actual statement of Pope Francis’ and a link to an earlier article on Francis’ statement is in a section towards the end of this post.
There was a whole series of tweets in which Malloy expresses his outrage over Pope Francis.
There he compares blessing same-sex couples to blessing thieves.

Those who don’t condemn homosexuality hates homosexuals is the theme of a couple of posts. This is the new slimy tactic of Christians, to delude themselves that they are persecuting out of concern for us.

Then he is back to comparing Gays to thieves.

He decided that he has to say it in capital letters.

The “gravely evil sin of sodomy” isn’t “misspeaking.” He states it more than once, as well as having sent the message to the DMN in an email as mentioned above.

Compares Gays to gangsters.

In a tweet back in Oct. 31, 2023, for Halloween I guess, he compares same-sex marriage to witchcraft.

He was upset on his Facebook account also.

Anti-Gay Writings.
This is the link to his recent book, “False Mercy,” which has the following in the info for the book.
The faithful have had a growing sense that something is not quite right in the life of the Catholic Church. Confusion abounds as doctrinal rebellion spreads with impunity. The proponents of this rebellion have foisted their errors upon others by deceptively twisting certain friendly communications strategies of the recent Magisterium. … Contraception and homosexuality: how modernists divorce procreation from sexuality. [Boldface added.]

This is the Amazon entry for “False Mercies.”
https://www.amazon.com/False-Mercy-Heresies-Distorting-Catholic/dp/1644134187
In the sample that you can read at the Amazon listing, Malloy says that the reason the Catholic church is not getting people entering the priesthood is due to the Catholic church turning away from what he considers orthodoxy. In the Introduction he states, “Who would want to follow weak and effeminate men, … And what woman would want to leave the opportunity of a wonderful marriage for a life as an angry, plain-clothed nun campaigning for ‘social justice’?”
Mostly he sees Catholic faith crashing. Lots of wailing.
The author of this post can tell you the reason that people aren’t entering the priesthood after the 1960s, is that there aren’t that many guilt-ridden homosexuals trying to deal with their homosexuality by entering the priesthood. When the author came out in the 1970s he would meet a great many Catholic clergy and ex-clergy in Maryland.
From the Introduction:
“These are strange days for the Catholic Church and for the world. … a variety of sexual deviancies are now sanctioned by the Supreme Court’s dubious interpretations of the U.S. Constitution.”
“Others rejoice, Elton John, for example, has exulted in the confusion insofar as he takes it to have ratified his unnatural lifestyle.”
“On the superficial level, the world rejoices to hear leading prelates celebrate perversity and hide, water down, or abandon Catholic truths.”
This is an article in Crisis Magazine. I know this magazine since a now deceased editor was a contributor to Southern Partisan magazine.
https://crisismagazine.com/opinion/catholics-cannot-accept-same-sex-unions
From the article.
As I argue in False Mercy: Recent Heresies Distorting Catholic Truth, the Church firmly condemns all violence against human persons for whatever reason. … Equally consistently, the Church condemns the various forms of sodomy, from masturbatory sodomy to homosexual sodomy.
The Church teaches that homosexual sodomy is unnatural, intrinsically evil, and gravely evil.
For some reason the transcript is all capital letters.
27:16 EASY WAY OUT THAT WAY. AND THE SECOND IS, KIND OF DENYING THAT THE CHURCH IS WHAT
27:22 CHRIST INSTITUTED THROUGH WHICH HE IS GOING TO SAVE THE WORLD AS LUMEN GENTIUM SAYS.
27:30 AND THE THIRD SET IS, SIN IS NOT SIN. CONTRACEPTION IS OKAY.
27:35 SODOMY IS OKAY. SIN IS NOT SIN. THAT'S THE THIRD WAY OUT. AND LUTHER WOULD BE AGHAST IF WE
27:42 SAID SIN IS NOT SIN. >> Father: LUTHER CALLED
27:48 CONTRACEPTION ONE OF THE MOST HORRIBLE SINS THERE IS. >> GOOD FOR HIM. >> AND SO DID CALVIN.
27:55 NOW, THEY WERE ABSOLUTELY AGAINST SUCH A THING.
28:01 >> Guest: AND THAT'S AT THE HEAD OF SO MUCH OF THE SEXUAL DEVIANCY RIGHT NOW
28:06 >> Father: ABSOLUTELY. AND WE NEED TO TAKE A BREAK. I WANT TO COME BACK AND DEAL WITH THE GLOBAL ERROR YOU
28:15 DESCRIBED. THIS IS IN REGARD TO THE EVOLUTION OF DOCTRINE. LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THAT IN JUST A COUPLE OF MINUTES.

Background information on Francis’ statement.
This is the DMN article on Pope Francis approving blessings.
This is the official document.

Summary
As stated earlier in this post, the new slimy tactic of the homophobic Christians is to delude themselves that they are engaged in their homophobic campaigns for our benefit.
If you examine what Pope Francis is saying, you can see that the Catholic Church is still homophobic, still sees homosexuality as a sin and the “blessing” is only for contrite sinners, and is trying to finess the issue of homosexuality as being sinful, but the Catholic Church not being mean about it.
The Roman Catholic Church is seeing that they are losing the next generation and are trying to survive, but the Catholic homophobes don’t even want the slightest chance of the public thinking that homosexuality is okay, and they don’t want to give up their campaign of hostility in the name of love.
The Roman Catholic Church is being ripped apart by this, and so it is good for the LGBT, since they won’t be able to go after us. The more hostile homophobes in the Catholic Church are basically being deplatformed from the Catholic Church so they won’t be able to harm the LGBT as much.
Further the Univ. of Dallas shouldn’t be considered a safe place for the LGBT and no city in Dallas county should have activities there.
