<\/a><\/p>\nWHY THE GAY LOBBY REMAINS IN POWER<\/h2>\n
by Ryan Fitzgerald \u2022 ChurchMilitant.com<\/p>\n
It has various names \u2014 the Homosexual Network, the Lavender Mafia, the Gay Lobby \u2014 but whatever you call it, most people \u2014 inside or outside the Church \u2014 have never heard of it and would probably call you a crazy \u201chomophobic\u201d bigot for even entertaining its existence as a possibility.<\/p>\n
Despite the fact that some of the Church\u2019s highest ranks have\u00a0spoken of it<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0investigated its depth<\/a>, this powerful association of homosexual infiltrators has managed to maintain a relatively\u00a0low profile<\/a>. There are several likely reasons for how that\u2019s been possible, and key among them is that a lot of the people who are close enough to know it and expose it are afraid of the consequences. These consequences range from loss of employment to ecclesiastical penalties to potentially murder. It is this sort of intimidation that explains why the apparent\u00a0cabal of sodomites<\/a>\u00a0in\u00a0the Archdiocese of New York<\/a>\u00a0has operated under the radar for so long, and why the archdiocesan employee who spoke to\u00a0ChurchMilitant.com<\/a>\u00a0about it\u00a0had to remain anonymous<\/a>.<\/p>\n For an idea of what can be expected when the Gay Lobby is exposed, let\u2019s look at some of the tragic events that have immediately fallen on those who have spoken out about the corruption.<\/p>\n In 2004, Bp. Howard Hubbard of Albany, New York, was the center of a\u00a0series of investigations<\/a>. Three different sources were identifying the long-time spiritual leader of New York\u2019s capital city as guilty of violating his vow of celibacy with a string of sodomy and abuse. Of the three sources, by the time of the investigation, two were already dead from apparent suicides. The one remaining source who was still alive was Anthony Bonneau, a former prostitute who said Bp. Hubbard had solicited sex with him in the 1970s.<\/p>\n Another source was Thomas Zalay, whose brother Andrew charged Bp. Hubbard with sexually abusing Thomas for years. According to Andrew, Thomas had written a suicide note that recounted a perverse relationship with the bishop. The note read in part:<\/p>\n Howard explains that his role as bishop and his vows of celibacy are not involved because the Bible describes celibacy as being free of women. I do not and have not considered myself homosexual but maintaining this relationship serves spiritual purposes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Thomas went on to write that Bp. Hubbard had \u201cunfairly used his position [as bishop] to get what he wants\u201d from him. Further, Thomas mentioned \u201csexual acts\u201d that he was \u201ccompelled to endure.\u201d Thirteen months after Hubbard was made a bishop, Thomas was dead after a fire that was confined to his room, which his family maintains was a suicide after what they suspected for a while was a gay relationship between him and the bishop.<\/p>\n The third source was Fr. John Minkler, who in February 2004 was named as the author of a 1995 letter to Cdl. John O\u2019Connor, archbishop of New York, which informed him that Bp. Hubbard was the leader of a homosexual network within his diocese. Shortly after being named as the writer of the letter, Fr. Minkler was called into the chancery and effectively intimidated into signing an affidavit denying he ever wrote it or knew anything about its claims.<\/p>\n1. Fr. John Minkler<\/h3>\n
