HISTORIC FIRST FOR BOSTON ARCHDIOCESE / LESBIAN ACTIVIST WAS THE GRADUATION SPEAKER AT A CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL
In a historic first for the Archdiocese of Boston, headed by Cardinal Sean O’Malley, an out, partnered, civilly “married,” cross dressing lesbian activist—who identifies herself as a “big ol’ dyke”—was the graduation speaker at a Catholic high school.
Fontbonne Academy in the Town of Milton, located just south of Boston in Norfolk County, is an elite Catholic college preparatory school for girls, founded and administered by the Congregation of the Sisters of Saint Joseph of Boston.
On May 25th, the school hosted Andi Lyons, a professor of theatrical design and technology at the State University of New York at Albany, as its graduation speaker. Lyons is a 1973 graduate of Fontbonne.
Unsurprisingly, Lyons catechized graduates with homosexualist ideology, telling the students that moral disapproval of same sex relations—based on Scriptural and natural law principles—is “hate” incited because of “who you love.”
Lyons is a supporter of the National LGBTQ Task Force, an organization which promotes marriage deformity and gender dysphoria, celebrates blasphemous, homoerotic art, and has a long history of denouncing the Catholic Church for its defense of Christian morality.
The Sisters of Saint Joseph of Boston is a declining, dissident, and largely geriatric religious order long known for its rejectionist views of Catholic moral teaching.
In 2014, the Sisters gave an award to Massachusetts State Representative Brian Honan (D-Boston), who was, at the time, listed as a “Champion” of so-called reproductive rights by the Planned Parenthood Advocacy Fund.
Regis College in Weston, administered by the Sisters, had, for many years, another abortion advocate, former Lieutenant Governor Evelyn Murphy, on its Board of Trustees.
Fundraising events for the College and the Congregation have featured such pro-abortion public figures as Bay State Governor Charlie Baker, State Treasurer Deb Goldberg, former Lieutenant Governor Thomas P. O’Neill III and billionaire Obama/Biden bundler Jack Connors.
In 2022, the Sisters invited the pro-abortion Biden CDC chief, Doctor Rochelle Walensky, to give a video address to Regis graduates.
In the 2004 document, Catholics in Political Life, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops stated:
“The Catholic community and Catholic institutions should not honor those who act in defiance of our fundamental moral principles. They should not be given awards, honors or platforms which would suggest support for their actions.”
The Catholic Action League called the decision by Fontbonne to provide a platform for Lyons to propagandize a captive audience of Catholic school students on graduation day “a public, scandalous and contumacious act of apostacy, intended to signal the Sisters’ repudiation of Divine and natural law, of Catholic moral teaching and of the beliefs of their own founders.”
Catholic Action League Executive Director C. J. Doyle made the following comment: “It is now unmistakably clear that Fontbonne Academy, and it parent religious order, the Sisters of Saint Joseph, are no longer, in any meaningful sense of the term, Catholic or Christian institutions.”
“They have surrendered to the spirit of the times, submitted to secular values and conformed to the dominant culture. They have betrayed the Faith, rejected the Word of God, and abandoned their identity as Catholics.”
“Fontbonne and the Sisters have done this secure in the knowledge that the Archbishop of Boston, Cardinal Sean O’Malley, will do, absolutely, nothing about this, as he did nothing about Catholic Memorial School honoring then Labor Secretary Marty Walsh in 2022, and Boston College honoring then Secretary of State John Kerry in 2014.”
“One of the evasive misdirections resorted to by Cardinal O’Malley’s bureaucrats is the cynical suggestion that Catholic schools operated by religious orders, rather than the archdiocese, are not his responsibility. That is false.”
“As recently as 2022, Pope Francis issued an instruction directing bishops to exercise the right of vigilance and the right of visitation over Catholic schools in their dioceses.”
“The document went on to say that a bishop must ‘intervene whenever he deems it appropriate, and must do so whenever there are serious transgressions of the Catholic identity of a school located in his diocese,’ even in schools ‘founded or directed’ by religious orders.”
“In Rome, Cardinal O’Malley chairs the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors. One might ask, quite reasonably, how can he carry out this grave responsibility, if he cannot protect young people in his own archdiocese from spiritual predators who would imperil their immortal souls?”
The list of ll of the quotes of Jesus Christ condemning homosexuals etc etc:
……..
……
there is no record of his ever having mentioned homosexuality,
let alone expressed particular revulsion about it. . . .
Never in the Bible does Jesus himself offer an explicit prohibition of homosexuality.

Matt Schlapp, the founder of CPAC, and author of the book, “The Desecrators” points out the vile hypocrisy of his beloved Catholic Church in not supporting the ardently pro life politicians simply because they are Republicans. Catholic hierarchy hates Trump in his opinion. Even though he was clearly the most pro life President since the Democrat Party supported the racist genocidal maniac Margaret Sanger who invented Planned Parenthood to exterminate the Black race. Thanks to Trump’s SCOTUS picks Roe v. Wade is gone. Will we hear any appreciation from the Catholic Church for that? Doubtful. MAGA/KAG!

This is an example of why the catholic church is having its issues. We have not taken the lead in condemning this anti Christ action by the alt left we seem to go the extra mile to support it. What an individual does in his life is his PRIVILEGE. His beliefs do not transcend into my church or my churches institutions. The left has made a significant push in this country to alter our moral code and our christian religion. We must rise up and put a stop to this anti christian movement
Should the word elite and a Catholic School be used together?. Elitism is not a Christian value. I’m sure that most graduates of Fontbonne are good and bright people. Some of the graduates of that school who I’ve encountered in my lifetime are about the farthest thing from elite. Arrogant or having a bad attitude would best describe them. Many of them went to that school to avoid the problems at the Boston Public Schools. Some were children of shady politicians.
Not surprising that Fontbonne had such a commencement speaker. Schools like that and some Catholic Colleges like BC, tend to have too many alumni that have replaced Christian values with elitism and snobbery. Many of the Catholic schools have forgotten their roots .
