Letter: Jesus likely to welcome LGBTQ people into flock

And Jesus surely wept last Thursday when the Archdiocese of New York condemned the funeral of a transgender community leader at St. Patrick’s Cathedral. Even whilst other righteous bigots called it a mockery of the Christian faith, describing it as “sacrilegious,” revolting” and “blasphemous.”

The last time I checked the Bible, Jesus said, “Suffer the little children to come unto me.” He almost certainly would have added, “Even them who, as adults, will be LGBTQ.” But we will never know.

Perhaps the archdiocese and their cohorts will have an awakening this Lent and will enlighten all of us for the betterment of humankind.
