In their discussion on Catholicism and homosexuality, Father Mike Schmitz and Kim Zember take some time to compare eating disorders to being gay…

You’re on vacation and go to Mass at this parish… As you start to try to reverently walk up the aisle to gratefully receive the Precious Body and Life-Giving Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, you get smacked in the face by this madness. 😬🤦‍♀️🤮

What’s your most transmedicalist take?

I was gay and my family accepted me. I was bisexual and my family accepted me. I was transgender and my family accepted me. But as I become Catholic suddenly there’s controversy and issues. There is silent disapproval and false backhanded “support” It’s us against the world.

A lot of Catholics are saying that unless liberal (rainbow) priests are excommunicated, it is hypocritical of Rome to excommunicate the SSPX. While I understand the sentiment, this is "apples and oranges". The SSPX situation is not fundamentally a liberal/conservative issue but a Catholic ecclesiology question. Do bishops (whether liberal or conservative) have the right to consecrate new bishops against the express wishes of the Pope? The danger of saying "yes" to such a claim is that such a precedent would also obviously help liberal schismatics as much as conservative ones. Liberals could start consecrating the most wildly unorthodox bishops you could imagine (in openly gay relationships, radically pro abortion, etc). There would be no limit. This question on whether the Pope gets to decide who is made bishop is a much bigger question than whether you like the TLM or not. It is a much bigger question than what to do when a particular priest does something scandalous. It is the very foundation of Catholicism at risk.

I have made it through the surgery. I am recovering and having a nurse typing the message for me. I am alive and safe.

At an outdoor "Pride Mass" this week In New York, Fr Chris Lawton apologized to the attendees, claiming the Church doesn't "recognize the presence of God" in them, and is carrying out acts of injustice against "transgenders". He won't be receiving an excommunication next week.
