Dear Bishop Strickland, we so appreciate you shining the light of truth on this and so many other problems the Church is facing. Thank you for your steadfastness and fidelity to Christ and His Church. We are praying the Rosary every day for the restoration of the Catholic Church. You are in our prayers as well!
I was very dismayed when Pope Francis seemed to acquiesce to the LBGT community and now this appointment further concerns me. As a grieving mother of a trans son, I can say definitively that the good priest Hennen truly doesn’t understand what a trans person does to the family that loved them. People have been forced to accept being gay as normal and now the same is being pushed for trans. Well I will never affirm my son’s problem as normal and even though I love him dearly he has been estranged from me for years. I understand that love should be inclusive but affirming a person who is harming themselves because of secular values is not right and certainly not truth to be affirmed by the Catholic Church. I was so happy with Pope Leo appointment but now I’m not sure.
Who is the victim? Who is in jeopardy? Whose suffering is greater?
Your son is as damaged as another person with suicidal depression, with anorexia nervosa, with obsessive compulsive neurosis as just three examples of psychiatric conditions where preaching and nagging and criticism and condemnation and argument and punishment are all absolutely powerless to change their condition one little bit.
Christian love, in other words, real love is "willing the best good of the beloved" and your son needs the healing power of the Holy Spirit as do all those in the grip of the latest of the diabolical deceptions used by Satan to harm and enslave the children of God.
Jesus told his disciples one time, when they lamented that there was a person they could not heal that the condition needed prayer and fasting: in other words, much more than the usual power of truth and preaching and encouragement and the power to heal that he had already given them.
Have you noticed that girls with anorexia are being told on social media that there is nothing wrong with them and they are starving themselves to death despite all the best efforts of a loving family and excellent psychiatrists
I gave my son a loving family. I told him he is always welcome home. I pray for him everyday. But he is an adult who has threatened me many times. I have no control over him or suggestions for him are not welcomed.
I’m alone and I actually fear him now. He is the one who cut off contact with me I didn’t ever cut him off. I know he is damaged and hurting but he doesn’t want anything to do with me, so what would you have me do?
I will pray and fast for your son. I as a father am in a difficult but entirely different situation. What is his first name (or yours)? God bless you, Our Lady protect and console you.
My daughter has given in to her daughter’s delusion that she is a trans . I cannot imagine the pain your son’s deluded choices give you . These young adults have been taken captive by a sly Satanic agenda .. literally bound .. I’ve decided I will fast for my entire family . Sometimes we must do violence to the Dark Kingdom with what Jesus gave us - Authority (in His Name ) Fasting & Prayer .
I encourage you to read your Bible for strength . The Holy Spirit will help you .
As a mom of two lesbians, I continue to love and pray. I have one who doesn’t speak to us and one who is in heaven Why is she in heaven? Because during her illness, she turned toward the church, just a little and then received the last rites. Just a little is all God needs. I have 4 others mostly living outside the church as well It wasn’t what I signed up for.
Respectfully Dr. , your response lacks love and compassion for the suffering of this Mother who loves her son. “Live not by lies” is an essential adage for our times. This woman is experiencing deep anguish as a result of the lies her son has been told about his very substance and image. Please refrain from adding to her pain.
People, and sinners, never give a thought to the grief and the feelings of parents , and of the mother particularly. We here receive your pain and pray for you. Love, imo, before being inclusive must be discerning between the good and the evil. Church has forgotten this. May the Lord bless you.
God bless you. I feel for you and I will remember you in my prayers. You are living every faithful Catholic parent’s worst nightmare. Again, God bless you and remain faithful in love for your son but more so for Christ. JMJ+
This breaks my heart for you & your son. People don't CHOOSE to be gay or Trans. You all can go ahead and continue your hate which is exactly the opposite of what Jesus teaches. There's scientific/ Medical evidence through recent scientific studies that on a cellular level in the brain, they truly are different! They didn't ask for this. I was in the medical field for 3 decades. I hope someday people who claim to be faithful stop judgment and hurting others. Truly educate yourselves on matters that upset you so you are informed truthfully. I'm sorry you're hurting. I wish we all weren't so divided. I'm a white catholic woman with 2 adult kids with big hearts that don't judge others. We all have different opinions on many things, that's human nature. But judging, hating, exlu
ding people is not ok!
Shame on this Bishop writing this article! He's not doing God's work or walking in the path of Jesus! Talking against the popes who ask us to care about all human beings. Every thing he said about pope Leo's new appt is not accurate at all! Do your own research on this and all issues 🙏
Keep speaking truth. So many families including mine have grandchildren devoured by satanic gender ideology. Yet our bishop and priest have never spoken about this. When I speak to others it’s rampant But they remain silent
The only explanation for the modern world's obsession with something so vile as sodomy is demonic influence. We need greater reparation, penance, and fasting to win graces for the demons to be put at bay.
Thank you very much for standing consistently for the doctrine of the Church. So many priests now seem more concerned with not hurting people’s feelings as opposed to saving their souls.
Keep up the courageous work Bishop. It is a great scandal of our day that so many Shepards of the Church are silent when the church is being devoured by the wolves. And from the highest levels of the Church. We are seeing the prophecy of Our Lady of Fatima being fulfilled before our very eyes. May Her triumph come soon!
According to a local priest on the thread of your previous post, Fr Hennen initiated the cause for a policy to be put in place to guide those ministering to homosexuals, but the actual writing of the document was in no way his and is contrary to what he intended. His talks on YouTube are doctrinally sound and stand firm about not living a homosexual life, and that all should strive for chastity. I don’t believe he agrees with the views shared in the document concerning “gender disassociation.” Would it be possible, your excellency, for you as a bishop to reach out to the priest and request a written statement about his position on the matter that can be disseminated? That may solve a lot of the pastoral problems that could arise from this situation beyond his diocese.
I stand with you Bishop Strickland.
Well done Great Shepherd 🙏🙏

I'm so sorry you and your son are going through this. If you haven't already, pray a 54-day Rosary Novena for him.
Forward boldly …
Like Joan of Ark.
love from one mum to another

And so it goes here in Australia.
You are not sowing division, the wolves are. Ideologies that break away from the Church doctrine are divisive, no matter how attractive they may look.
The only explanation for the modern world's obsession with something so vile as sodomy is demonic influence. We need greater reparation, penance, and fasting to win graces for the demons to be put at bay.

?????
Markus 9,29 — The New King James Version (NKJV):
“This kind can come out by nothing but prayer and fasting.”
Thank you Bishop Strickland for your courage and steadfastness 🙏 Ezekiel 33:6-7
Thank you Bishop Strickland 🙏🙏
Thank you very much for standing consistently for the doctrine of the Church. So many priests now seem more concerned with not hurting people’s feelings as opposed to saving their souls.
It’s as though good manners are on par with an immortal soul .
Keep driving this home, Bishop Strickland: "We cannot wait until every appointment is compromised and every diocese is confused."
Their end goal: Silently usher in the new agenda while the sheep sleep. After Phase 3 is installed in 2028, it's too late. 🙉🙏
God bless you for speaking the truth on these moral issues Thank you Bishop Strickland...

God bless you Bishop Strickland. You are 100% correct!
Thank you, Your Excellency!
