Red chic and leather

Awards go to transvestite performer and “gay” street fair at event held at Most Holy Redeemer parish, San Francisco


A “coalition of eight leather- and motorcycle-oriented clubs in the South-of-Market Area gay and lesbian community” held its annual community awards Feb. 16 at Most Holy Redeemer parish’s Ellard Hall in the Castro District of San Francisco. Most Holy Redeemer is well known as a “gay-friendly” Catholic parish.

According to its web site, the Inter-Club Fund of San Francisco, which held its 42nd Annual Motorcycle and Leather Community Awards on Saturday at Ellard Hall, exists to “promote safe motorcycling, provide financial assistance to persons in distress,” and “promote motorcycling organizations.” The ICF is made up of seven member clubs, including the Bears of San Francisco, Defenders/San Francisco, San Francisco Dykes on Bikes-Women’s Motorcycle Contingent, and the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.

Defenders/San Francisco calls itself “a Leather/Levi club, chartered by Dignity, the national gay Catholic organization.” On its web site, Defenders says it “take[s] a stand for the sacredness of our leather sexuality and explores practical ways of integrating sexuality and spirituality….

“Although we are a Catholic leather club, our members come from many different denominations and spiritual traditions. Men and women of all spiritual paths are welcome.”

Among the recipient’s of this year’s Motorcycle and Leather Community Awards was the drag queen performer, Donna Sachet, who received the “Entertainer of the Year" Award. Sachet was Miss Gay SF in 1993, elected Empress of SF in 1995-96, has been national spokesmodel for Smirnoff Twist Vodka, and was granted Sainthood by the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence in 2004.

Sachet attended San Francisco Catholic Charities’ “Red House Party” for HIV/AIDS programs. According to a description of the event found on the Catholic Charities’ web site, “dressed in ‘red chic’, guests dined on scrumptious seafood cuisine and mingled with a quintessentially Bay Area crowd, from media personality Donna Sachet to CCCYO Board President Cecilia Herbert.” [Emphases in original.]

Another ICF award winner this year was the Folsom Street Fair, which got “Best Street Event.”

Pictures of this year’s ICF awards, found on its web page, show, even with the transvestites present, what appears to be a rather tame event. Pictures of the awards dinners from previous years (held in Ellard Hall) show a man with his buttocks showing (2003), one man grabbing another’s crotch (2004), and two men kissing (2007).

What's it going to take for Archbishop Niederauer to put a stop to these depraved events, fire and brimstone raining down on the chancery offices or the second coming? ********************************************************************** Who's in control in the Diocese of San Francisco Archbishop Niederauer or the GLBT and the leather communities. Does the Diocese and the GLBT community have some sort of secret pact which would allow these depraved people to do whatever they want at Most Holy Redeemer parish and face no consequences? Does the Diocese have so much dirty laundry that the GLBT community is threatening to air if the bishop intervenes?***********************************************************************WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE DIOCESE OF SAN FRANCISCO IS SO SHOCKING AND REPULSIVE AND AS A ROMAN CATHOLIC I HAVE MY DOUBTS ABOUT THE CONTROL OF THE VATICAN CHURCH HIERARCHY IN THE U.S. THAT NIEDERAUER IS STILL UP THEIR RUNNING THE SHOW. ***********************************************************************IT SEEMS TO ME THAT ARCHBISHOP NIEDERAUER WOULD RATHER MILLIONS OF ROMAN CATHOLICS TO BE SCANDALIZED BY THE EVENTS THAT TAKE PLACE AT MHR THAN UPSET THE HOMOSEXUALS IN HIS DIOCESE.

Lisa T, at this rate, it does appears that fire and brimstone will be necessary. However, we must persevere by praying and writing a polite letter to the Bishop to ask for his action in stopping this abomination.

If you people are SO bloody concerned about what goes on in San Francisco, then maybe you should put your money where your outrage is. MHR has been in danger of _losing_ the property because it is so cash strapped. You may disagree with the events held in Ellard Hall, you may disagree with the people who attend those events, but they are SUPPORTING MHR by renting the space. Which is a heck of a lot more than you all can say you're doing. Maybe if you spent more time SUPPORTING and less time complaining, maybe the world would be a better place...

George, I just read you post on the "nuke" thread. Now I completely understand your posts. There is quite a bit I would discuss further, but this is not the proper site for it. Yes, basically, there is a point where unity and commitment to victory is required. There is a point at which nuclear weapons violate the passage from Gaudium et Spes against "total war".

SFValues, Great news! Hopefully MHR's fiscal problems will do what the SF Diocese won't...shut the place down. Talk about poetic justice.

Posted Wednesday, February 20, 2008 8:33 PM By John Andersen
Fathers, Pastors, Lay Leaders: Christ turned the tables of the money changers in response to their heretical practices. This is a parish/church that needs to be "turned over" in that same spirit. I think all Godly Believers should be called to "protest" these unholy alliances (they are NOT outreach) through phone calles, emails, letters, and perhaps even on-site protest. The prophets and the teachers have been silent for too long. It is time to speak.

Posted Wednesday, February 20, 2008 8:37 PM By John Andersen
To SF Values: Have you ever stopped to think that perhaps God is not blessing this parish because they are not blessing Him through holy witness? How can you possibly rationalize taking money from evil "to keep the doors open?"

Posted Wednesday, February 20, 2008 9:32 PM By Lisa T.
SF Values, I'm sure the SF DioXece owns the MHR property as well as the former school and convent. I don't see how they would lose it. I'm sure there are poorer parishes in SF than MHR so poor they can't afford to have there own website. Judging from the photo gallery on the MHR website they don't seem like a cash strapped parish. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++As for putting our money where are mouths are, how could any faithful Catholic give money to MHR when all of this perversity is allowed? And, in MHR's case of renting out the hall for perverse activities to pay the bills, the end result certainly does not justify the means.

The parish debt keeps the place open. LisaT is right. The archdiocese owns all churches, so it assumes the debt for renovations, then does capital campaigns, etc. to pay off the debt. The Archdiocese hopes the parishioners will pay the debt off, otherwise they will be on the hook for the expense. And the MHR parishioners are aware of this. According to the SF Bay Guardian of November 23, 2005: "Would Most Holy Redeemer be closed entirely? Ironically, because MHR isn't financially successful, that seems unlikely. Meriwether said that, at least in part because, unlike Saint Brigid, which had about $750,000 in its bank account when it was closed, MHR still owes for the 2000 renovation – about a million dollars. The debt is a sort of poison pill the archdiocese would have to swallow if it decided to finally silence the church."

Posted Thursday, February 21, 2008 9:15 AM By Grisha
Lisa T: The Archdiocese holds title to parish property via a separate "holding company" which must maintain an arms length distance from the Archbishop. At least in SF, while parishes are responsible for their own revenues and disbursements, we have to pay a "tax' in the form of an Annual Archdiocesan appeal. This is why we have "rich" and "poor " parishes. Would it be better if the dioceses took all the revenue and then spent it on each parish as part of a master budget, as if it were a municipal government with a police dept., water dept. etc? I honestly don't know.

Posted Thursday, February 21, 2008 10:21 AM By Grisha
Anoymous: Are you sure "The archdiocese .... assumes the debt for renovations,"? I know our parish pays for all the maintenence and repair. We've had some capital expenses e.g. exterior painting, sewer replacement and had to pay for those out of our reserves. Does perhaps the AD serve as kind of a garentor?

Amen, Jon, the apostacy is indeed on. This is an outrage, and it's not occurring just in San Francisco. The Vatican has been much too silent on this growing apostacy within the Church as well. I give the second Amen to this poster: Posted Wednesday, February 20, 2008 8:33 PM By John Andersen. One other option John didn't mention is to withhold donations as well. The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops helped support the passage of Global Poverty Act S. 2433 which is the institution of the World Income Tax. ( http://obama.senate.gov/press/080213-obama_hagel_can_1/ ) BE ALERT, PRAYERFUL AND VIGILIANT. The apostacy is indeed starting.

Does anyone know of a conservative Catholic elementary school/parish in San Diego?

Posted Thursday, February 21, 2008 2:48 PM By Grisha
Delores: I suspect that from the range of people who post on this forum, you're going to have difficvulty getting agreement on the defition of "conservative". For example, must it teach that only the Tridentine mass is valid and legitimate? Is communion in the hand OK? do you want a schoool with no non-Catholic stuidents. Do you want one which respects and honors B-16 and JP-II? What do you think your current parish lacks? A set of specifications wouold help find what you seek.

Posted Thursday, February 21, 2008 7:26 PM By Dolores
I am just looking for a church that is led by a strong, conservative priest who follows what the church teaches, and respects and honors the pope. It doesn't have to have the Tridentine mass, and communion in the hand is fine. I just want a traditional Catholic upbringing for my kids like the one I had in the 1960's and 70's. I was lucky to have had many nuns as excellent teachers and principals, and I sure wish they were still around today! I'm looking for a parish where the priest and people are pro-life and have respect for the church's teachings, not one where everyone thinks the church needs to change.

Posted Thursday, February 21, 2008 8:29 PM By John L. Sillasen
Dolores, there is a tridentine Mass in San Diego; why not go there and talk to people. Maybe you'll find something good for you and your kids. Why not visit the various Tridentines Masses within whatever distance you find you can drive. The folks who attend them do so, often for the same reasons you express.

I was born and raised in the SF Bay area and I can see that things are getting worse. I could never live in that area again. The so called tolerant people of the "gay" community are actually quite bigoted and intolerant, often to the point of violence. I used to support their lifestyle but since my conversion to the RC faith I realize that the Church was right all along - this is the road to Hell. I pray rosaries for that region - remember, that's the town where the Church of Satan was founded.

I have said this over and over again homosexuality has a demonic component to it, their is such a thing as a spirit of homosexuality. These gay men are being decieved by satan into thinking they were born this way, what they need is deliverance, and much prayer, until then they better stop what they are doing because hell and satan are waitng for them and then the real fun will begin. i feel sorry for them they have no fear of God and God will not be mocked. The new aids virus that is spreading will cause sores that look like boils that cover their entire body and their death will be a very painful one. The sores also have a foul smell so no one will want to get near them, this is yet another one of the plagues of the end times. hello people what is it going to take for you all to wake up, if all of you knew what is on it's way for humanity we would all be on our knees praying for mercy 24/7 and No don't blame God. all that is about to happen is the direct consequences of our own sins.

I live in Sri Lanka and cringe at reading what is going on at Holy Redeemer Church. Loving your neighbour is one thing but letting your neighbour getting in the way of loving your Lord with all your heart, soul, body and mind is evil indeed. To say that this twisted lifestyle supports a Catholic church is almost to say Jesus fed the 5000 with stolen bread! May God have mercy on America!

Talk about harlotry! Selling sex--sodomy at that, to keep the church going! Sounds like something that would block God's blessings. Perhaps the best thing would be for the church to have to close. I think that would get the bishop's attention. But the best thing for the laity to do right now is to PRAY! Prayer is always the best offense. Pray especially for the bishop and all the homosexuals, not just in SF, but all over this country and the world who live in such depravity and baseness. There is such demonic activity where these acts occur that prayer is the only answer. God help us all! Love the sinner, hate the sin!

I happen to be part of a group who supports a mystic. In message after message from the Lord, he says, "repent, love one another -- and about the end times --that the world as we know is coming to an end very, very, very SOON". All will be given an opportunity to repent. All sin is a lie of the devil and painful to our Lord. Homosexuals do not stand in the majority -- remember that! Pray, yes, and this is a perfect prayer to pray for Archbishop Niederauer. "JESUS CHRIST HAVE MERCY ON ME, AND BLESS ARCHBISHOP NIEDERAUER." Never give up just pray because what we cannot do the Almighty God can. He is our loving FATHER and He is coming to renew the world to get rid of all the darkness which exists and is growing because there is no one person or government which can heal all the brokeness that exists in the world today -- in people, governments, the ecology. Just pray every day and also ask the angels to come and protect you -- families, homes, cities, country, world. In another post I will send you a prayer to use. Remember, we must stand fast and united -- NEVER give up, never, because we stand with God.

This outrageous blasphemy is being promoted by this parish at the expense of the parishioners and all people,for that matter. Will the Vatican be intervening soon, I hope? If this parish were practicing true charity towards these people, they would not permit this fiendish behavior, nor endanger the rest of the their flock. This is a scandal that they need to stop immediately.

Kudos and praise to Carmen She hit the nail on the head. She is so right. Constant prayer heals all.By the way, when it comes to adhering to the true faith in all of it's belief, don't use the word "conservative" instead use the word ORTHODOX. That's what defines A true believer of our faith in matters of discipline, doctrine and dogmas.

I just finished reading an article describing how very aware Pope Benedict XVI is of the situation of the Church in the U.S. Well, if that is true, then I can't help but wonder WHY does this go on? WHY can't the Vatican simply FIRE these pathetic excuses for clerics who tolerant and even promote blasphemy and sexual promiscuity? I'd rather have fewer priests and bishops than to have so many of them actively tearing down the faith. Enough is enough.

QUESTION: Is it possible for the Holy Father to verbally or in writing (not sure how it's done) to inform a bishop that he's being replaced or transferred and have that bishop refuse to leave? +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ We all wonder how these liberal bishops are allowed to go unpunished when they have allowed crazy stuff to go on in their dioceses. But what if the Pope tried to remove a bishop and the bishop refused to be removed? It's not like any of the public would ever find out about it because things are done so secretly in the Roman Catholic hierarchy. I mean it's not like the Roman Curia has any legal rights to physically remove a bishop from his chancery offices do they? **********************************************************************************I'm so dissapointed in our bad bishops and in the Vatican's lack of or slowness of action to reprimand these bad bishops and so to comfort myself I've been fantasizing that our Holy Father has already given them notice but their not budging from their posts.

It's a popular assumption that the bishops are errant as a group. It can be seen from a perspective other than "bishops allowing religious mayhem to go on and on". Bishops may simply want to be in the midst of sinners so as to convert them. When a bishop says something clearly heretical, he is quickly taken to task by the Pope ... I don't know of a case where this has not happened. Usually bishops compose their words in such a way as to avoid saying something errant. Like Jesus told Peter, the fisherman, sometimes the line is reeled in, at other times it is let out to "play" the fish on the hook, to wear it out so that it can be then reeled in. It is the bishop who decides what and how to carry out the episcopacy, not anyone else. Lots of opinions.

Luz is right, and I think her comments should be heeded re new diseases. There is a new staph infection that scientists are very afraid of, and I might be wrong, but the name they've given it is MRLA. Spirit Daily reported twice on it. The virus, they say, began in the male homosexual community with homosexual pracitices(I don't want to describe them, but they are definitely not "kosher".) The point of origin is San Francisico, and these UC scientists believe that homosexual men travelled from San Francisco to Boston, and back and forth. This is how they believe the disease has been spreading among the male homosexual group. They found Staph infected sores on the buttocks and genital areas of these infected men.The fear of the scientists here is that it will spread quickly to the general population, beginning in school locker rooms. They are concerned over a plague quickly spreading, because unlike AIDS, which is contracted through transfer of body fluids, this Staph disease is spread by skin contact (through unorthodox sexual practices.) The scientists are now finding the disease among bisexual and heterosexual people who are not monogamous and practice "free" sex. There is no cure, nor do they have much of any clue as to what to do about this. Has anybody else heard about this awful Staph-dsease-about-to-turn-pandemic?

Mary: The "new staph" you're referring to is MRSA (not MRLA). It did not emerge in the gay community but in hospitals. It is not a virus but a bacterium. It is not incurable but a potentially serious disease even in people with healthy immune systems. The CDC says they find clusters of infections among "athletes, military recruits, children, Pacific Islanders, Alaskan Natives, Native Americans, men who have sex with men, and prisoners." So wash your hands frequently (especially if you have small children at home), stay out of the military and out of jail. The CDC page is at: http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dhqp/ar_mrsa_ca_public.html

salome, a one sided conversation gets boring real fast, and does not produce the fruit of learning. I'm asking questions is all. It would be nice if you could muster a solid reply instead of just passing it off with innuendos. I've seen and read a lot of angst against bishops. I understand it; I once had a bishop phone me from across the country to convince me that he was not colluding in homosexuality with the St John's Society in PA ... Phoney is as phoney as. He later was replaced and that society kicked out of the US. His style was intimidation ... I couldn't understand how he imagined that he could intimidate me. But he seemed to think that he did. But that's an example of what homosexuality can do to a person's mind ... delude it. That was proof on one bishop out of almost four hundred. Where is the proof on the ones in this state? What sometimes seems obvious is not necessarily what it seems ... that is why it is important to be thorough with these explorations of clergy, and others as well.

San Francisco deserves to lose Most Holy Redeemer. It is about time these homosexual star children were sent packing.

This is the prayer I promised to send you. Pray it for SF & Ab Niederauer, pray for our country, pray it for you and your families. I read in the Rosa Mystica book from where I took it that when this prayer was being printed the printing presses exploded 3 times. It is attributed to: Fr. Louis Euward Cestac given to him by the BVM SPIRITUAL WARFARE PRAYER TO THE HOLY ANGELS -- Sublime Queen of Heaven, exalted Lady of the Angels, you have the power and commission give by God to crush the head of satan. Therefore, we humbly beseech you, send to our aid your heavenly legions, so that, under your command and by your power, they may pursue the hellish spirits, fight them everywhere, ward off their impudent attacks, and fling them back into the abyss. Who is like God, holy Angels and Archangels, defend and protect us! Good, kind Mother, you remain always our love and our hope! Mother of God, send us your holy angels to defend us and keep the evil one far from us. Amen! Of course, you know that one of the many beautiful title of the BVM is Our Lady Queen of Angels -- the woman dressed in battle array! In the end her Immaculate Heart WILL triumph. P.S. The Rosa Mystica apparition (last 1940s-1950s) was the appearance by BVM to the world to pray for priests who had begun to go astray and continues even now.

I've read that St. Francis took the spot that lucifer had in heaven, that's why he works so hard to desecrate anyplace named after St. Francis. However, since the Novus Ordo and Catholic religion are two opposite things, satanic weirdness is basically normal in Novus Ordo land, just as holiness is a natural fruit of Catholicism.

Oh for PETE'S SAKE. So what if you don't like it - you don't go to their church. Who in the h*ll are you bigots to judge anyone for that matter. That is God's work. The place serves it purpose and whether you agree with it or not, it is NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS! The church needs to make money, the church serves a purpose of spirtual healing. None of you bigots who respond here are willing to donate to any of these causes, you have no lives except for filling in blog and comment forms. I'd pray for you, but the ticket is full. Worry about someone else

SFO, you seem to be reading these blogs ... any questions, or are you just throwing a tantrum?

This is the prayer I promised to send you. Pray it for SF & Ab Niederauer, pray for our country, pray it for you and your families. I read in the Rosa Mystica book from where I took it that when this prayer was being printed the printing presses exploded 3 times. It is attributed to: Fr. Louis Euward Cestac given to him by the BVM SPIRITUAL WARFARE PRAYER TO THE HOLY ANGELS -- Sublime Queen of Heaven, exalted Lady of the Angels, you have the power and commission give by God to crush the head of satan. Therefore, we humbly beseech you, send to our aid your heavenly legions, so that, under your command and by your power, they may pursue the hellish spirits, fight them everywhere, ward off their impudent attacks, and fling them back into the abyss. Who is like God, holy Angels and Archangels, defend and protect us! Good, kind Mother, you remain always our love and our hope! Mother of God, send us your holy angels to defend us and keep the evil one far from us. Amen! Of course, you know that one of the many beautiful title of the BVM is Our Lady Queen of Angels -- the woman dressed in battle array! In the end her Immaculate Heart WILL triumph. P.S. The Rosa Mystica apparition (last 1940s-1950s) was the appearance by BVM to the world to pray for priests who had begun to go astray and continues even now.

SFO are you really a priest or 3rd Order Fransican? Because I have very much experience attending a church with Fransicans whom I feel such compassion for because I was greatly touched and converted when I read the life of St Frances. So it has been heartbreaking to see that most are truly lost and are leading so many other to perdition. My new priest begged me to pray for him because 90% of his fellow Fransicans were gay( in fact he felt that is case all the way around). He seem sad to the core of his being -- tempted to leave the order but his vocation was such that he wanted to stay. Imagine the constant persecution he suffers!! I think many joined as a haven for their lifestyle but the awful truth is that they are also priests. My previous SFO pastor was intent in breaking down my husband and I but we stayed (under horrible treatment) until the Lord moved us by that time more "good" catholics had been sent. Know this, I will never give up the fight to save my church, be loyal to the Pope, be obedient to it's precepts NEVER no matter what it costs. SFO, THE MISSION OF THE CHURCH IS THE SALVATION OF SOULS and the spiritual healing you mentioned cannot occur without the flow of grace and grace can only flow is one is truly repentant of sin. Do you believe that the case in point. The church is not suppose to be a money making machine and your comment probably was not well taken by most who read it. Donate -- yes, I do and will continue to do so to keep my faith alive-everything I have it God's and while you will not pray for us, rest assured that I will pray that God will convert you (especially if you are a priest) and save your soul even though it will cause me much suffering -- so I ask others who read this blog to pray with me for this poor lost soul. And oh, by the way, the mystic that I referred to in my 1st message was told that 2 billion people will be lost and go to hell when he does come and that my dear SFO that is very, very, very soon.
