Francis to meet with sodomite Simón Cazal, executive director of SOMOSGAY who is 'married' to fellow sodomite activist Sergio López, in Asunción, Paraguay at a roundtable forum on 11 July 2015

"Many gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender people in Paraguay remain tormented by a fictitious contradiction that the reactionary sectors of the Church established between religious faith and sexual orientation."

SOMOSGAY prepares a campaign urging the Catholic Church to respect LGBT people in Paraguay 

In view of the Pope's visit to Paraguay, from 10-12 of July, SOMOSGAY will present a campaign inviting and urging the Catholic Church to respect LGBT people and their families, highlighting the attitude of the Pope himself, who positively mentioned LGBT people in different occasions.

SOMOSGAY considers the gesture of Pope Francisco towards LGBT people as a breakthrough, considering the ultraconservative context that has characterized the Vatican at the time of their ancestors.

The attitude of dialogue also helps to deconstruct the myth that LGBT people can not be Christian or may not profess a faith or religion, which is promoted by fundamentalist sectors to deny rights and justify intolerant attacks against other people based on their sexual orientation and/or gender identity.

“One can be lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender AND a Catholic at a time; there is no contradiction between being an LGBT person and being a religious person. Respect for personal beliefs is inherent in democracy” says Sergio López, activist of SOMOSGAY. “We recognize that human diversity also exists within the Catholic Church, especially in Paraguay, being the Latin American country with the highest percentage of Catholics, with a rate of 89%. We hope that the religious leaders of our country catch up with the Holy Father and join its stance of openness and reconciliation”, reaffirmed.

In that sense, SOMOSGAY calls to abandon the positions of intolerance and insults dehumanizing LGBT people. "Denying rights, attacking people and ignore their families goes against Catholic principles of love and respect, we hope that -as in the days of the dictatorship, the choice of the Paraguayan Catholic Church is in favor of and unprotected and persecuted in our time, among those who are lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people, " said López.

De nuestra consideración:

“Es hora de saber cómo diseñar, en una cultura que privilegie el diálogo como forma de encuentro, la búsqueda de consensos y acuerdos, pero sin separarla de la preocupación por una sociedad justa, memoriosa y sin exclusiones. El autor principal, el sujeto histórico de este proceso, es la gente y su cultura, no es una clase, una fracción, un grupo, una élite. No necesitamos un proyecto de unos pocos para unos pocos, o una minoría ilustrada o testimonial que se apropie de un sentimiento colectivo. Se trata de un acuerdo para vivir juntos, de un pacto social y cultural”. (1)

El Papa Francisco visita el Paraguay como “Mensajero de la Alegría y de la Paz” y desea compartir este mensaje en el “Encuentro con la Sociedad Paraguaya por una Cultura de la Confianza” ya que la alegría y la paz parten de la confianza mutua.

La Conferencia Episcopal Paraguaya, a través de la Comisión Organizadora de la Visita de Su Santidad el Papa Francisco, reconoce el alto impacto de su organización en la sociedad paraguaya, por lo que invita a 1 (un) representante de la misma a participar de este encuentro a realizarse en el estadio “León Condou” (Marcelino Noutz casi Avenida España - Asunción), el día sábado 11 de julio. El invitado accederá al estadio entre las 13:00 y las 14:30 hs. Adjuntamos la ficha de registro, que deberá ser devuelta por este medio hasta tres días posteriores a la recepción de esta nota. La invitación es de carácter personal e intransferible y deberá ser retirada del Seminario Metropolitano (Av. Kubitschek 661 y Azara) a partir del 1 de julio.

Contamos con la presencia del representante de su organización como contribución para que este encuentro fortalezca el desarrollo de una cultura de la confianza, que nos permita a todos los paraguayos construir un país mejor.

Reciba nuestro cordial saludo y la bendición en la paz de Nuestro Señor Jesucristo.

"Yes, we decided to go, we consider it important for the people who believe that it [sodomy] is in conflict between faith and respect for our rights, maybe this gesture will help change something about it."

Is Francis going to preach the Gospel to Simón Cazal and others who like him are mentally ill as well as spiritually sick?

We don't think so...Simón Cazal is going to preach acceptance of the sin of sodomy to Francis all in the name of tolerance.

After all, some are more equal than others in Francis' mind especially if they wallow in the sinful cesspools in the 'peripheries' and encourage others to join them! 

Backing his words with his actions!
