Catholics Make Reparation for Katy Church “Pride Festival”

On October 19, 2024, a group of faithful Catholics gathered at the side of the road to oppose a “pride” event hosted by a group that calls itself “First Christian  Church.” Among the protesters were a contingent from Tradition, Family, Property-Texas.

This church drew controversy in September 2022 for organizing an “All-Ages Drag Queen Bingo.” At the time, hundreds of protestors and dozens of counter-protestors gathered, including armed Antifa. Riot police were called to prevent the leftists from attacking the peaceful prayerful protesters.  

Jesus Condemns Homosexual Sin

No real Christian would support any LGBTQ+ agenda, as it contradicts the authentic teaching of the Catholic Church and Sacred Scripture. As Saint Paul clearly teaches in his letters to the Corinthians and the Galatians; the unrighteous – and practicing homosexuals – will not inherit the kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 6:9 and Galatians 5:19-21).

A “pride” event hosted by a group that calls itself “First Christian  Church”

Two Muslim young men approached the rosary rally and said, “this LGBTQ festival is an abomination. Even though we are Muslim, we know what Christians stand for and they are against homosexuality.”

Children Robbed of Their Innocence

This First Christian Church’s pride festival had drag queens immodestly dressed. They were dancing in provocative ways in front of young children. The event included a drag queen story time where children aged 4-10 watched and were wearing ‘pride’ clothing while dancing provocatively to irreverent music. A tragic scene unfolded where the children yelled insults at those who were peacefully praying for their conversion.

Rally participant Gayle felt very strongly about opposing the drag queen story time saying: “‘First Christian Church’ is a misnomer. Our Lord was very clear when he said, ‘If any man scandalizes the little ones, it would be better to have a millstone tied around his neck and be cast into the sea.’ They are not doing the work of Jesus. They are doing the work of Satan.”

Anthony Atilano, a TFP—Texas volunteer said, “Drag queen story time is child abuse. The little children are having their innocence robbed from them before they even have a chance to defend themselves.” 

Is this not grooming? Scandalizing little children so that they grow up accepting homosexual sin as normal while despising those who speak the truth is truly abusive.  

The police officers present told a TFP—Texas volunteer that they had no idea the event would be an LGBTQ pride festival. One said, “We feel betrayed. We were told it was going to be at a church festival…” 

Those protesting felt sickened by the church’s use of religion to change sin and disguise it as diversity or normal.

Determined to Fight the Good Fight

Overall, rosary rally turnout was excellent with zealous Catholics fighting for God’s truth and defending the innocence of children. In addition, the protesters influenced those who passed by to consider fighting the good fight.

 “Sacrificing your time and efforts to publicly console God and defend children’s innocence is time well spent. Rosario Ramos did a very good job leading the rally,” said Cameron, a rosary rally participant from Katy.

Co-Author of The Breached Dam Shows How Fiducia Supplicans Breaks with Church Teaching

In light of the Synod on Synodality and the Vatican document Fiducia Supplicans, concerned Catholics from all over the Houston area gathered on October 16 for a special talk to better understand and oppose the subversion of the homosexual agenda inside the Church.

Tradition, Family and Property-Texas (TFP) and America Needs Fatima sponsored the event at the downtown Milford House, which included a book signing and reception.

Senior French TFP Member José António Ureta, co-author of the book The Breached Dam: The Fiducia Supplicans Surrender to the Homosexual Movement, delivered the talk “The Devil’s Final Battle Over Marriage and Family: Can the Church Surrender to the Homosexual Movement?”

Co-Author of The Breached Dam Shows How Fiducia Supplicans Breaks with Church Teaching

Mr. Ureta and his Italian TFP co-author Julio Loredo de Izcue put together a hard-hitting work of just over one hundred pages that documents the gradual process of how the homosexual movement “subverted the Church with homoheresy.” It sadly relates to the efforts of Church officials to introduce the normalization of homosexual sin. However, it also outlines the more recent documents and declarations of other officials affirming the perennial teachings of the Church.

After its May 27 publication, with copies in eight languages, the work was sent to all the world’s bishops. In the United States, the book was mailed to all the cardinals, bishops, priests, deacons and lay brothers, making a total of 41,000 copies sent.

Mr. Ureta’s talk provided excellent insights into the proposals being discussed at the Synod.

Fiducia supplicans: A Surrender to the Homosexual Movement

Mr. Ureta explained how the document Fiducia Supplicans legitimized the blessings of “irregular” couples and homosexual couples. Mr. Ureta unmasked the five main fallacies of Fiducia Supplicans and how they constitute a surrender to the homosexual movement.

“The document insinuates that what the homosexual pair is asking for is only that the ‘positive’ aspects of their union be blessed. However, in a relationship that claims to be conjugal, the different aspects of the pair’s life cannot be separated into watertight compartments, some positive and others negative,” stated the speaker.

Mr. Ureta continued, “In reality, even what some might consider positive elements (e.g., affection, fidelity, and mutual support) contribute to maintaining the sinful relationship and hinder conversion. The more ‘positive’ such aspects appear to be, the more they constitute near occasions of sin, if not the very foundation for the structure of sin ensnaring these two individuals.”

Fiducia Supplicans represents a break with the Church’s traditional teaching on the Sixth Commandment, the intrinsically sinful nature of any use of the sexual faculties outside marriage, and the scandal that premarital, adulterous, and homosexual relationships and unions represent to the faithful and society. 

“The evening was magnificent. Mr. Jose Antonio Ureta spoke so clearly regarding the crisis in the Church, and I was happy to see that there were around 100 people at the talk,” commented Elvia Leyva, one of the attendees.

Co-Author of The Breached Dam Shows How Fiducia Supplicans Breaks with Church Teaching

The speaker asserted the right of the faithful to resist teachings contrary to those of the Supreme Magisterium of the Catholic Church, while not revolting against the authorities spreading them. Indeed, the book arms concerned clergy and laity alike with the doctrinal insight and facts necessary to defend the immutable Catholic teaching against those seeking to change it.

Mr. Ureta ended his talk with a few words of encouragement and hope: “We must keep fighting this final battle over marriage and family, knowing that Our Lady has already crushed the head of Satan and guaranteed us victory.”

On Oct. 12, 2024, Public Square Rosary Rally Captains held 22,662 rosary rallies in communities from coast to coast. Tradition, Family, Property—Louisiana joined in this effort with rallies in the Pelican state and Texas.

The annual event is a project of the America Needs Fatima, which is a campaign of the American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family, and Property (TFP). The rallies are held on the Saturday closest to the day of the Miracle of the Sun in Fatima on October 13, 1917.

Prayer, Sacrifice and Amendment of Life

Our Lady of Fatima revealed a message that called for prayer, sacrifice, and amendment of life as a means to convert the world. She predicted World War II and a greater chastisement should humanity continue to sin. Today’s moral decay can be seen in the prevalence of abortion, homosexual vice, transgenderism, the crisis in the Church and much more. All these sins cry out to Heaven for justice.

22,662 Rosaries for America

For these reasons, over 22,000 Public Square Rosary Rallies were held in America on October 12.

Among the many rallies in Louisiana, the city of Lafayette had at least four public displays of Faith. It was quite a sight to drive throughout the town encountering these groups of faithful Catholics praying for America. Some parishes like Our Lady of Fatima and St. Pius X Catholic Church sponsored groups who withstood the hot rays of the noonday sun to pray at their rallies.

Lepanto Proves the Power of the Rosary

The closeness to October 13 had another significance. On this day in 1571, the Turkish Muslim fleet was crushed in a bloody battle by a much smaller Catholic force with the aid of the Holy Rosary. Having in mind this powerful testimony to the power of the rosary, volunteers of TFP-Louisiana joined two other Rosary Rallies for America in face of a very responsive public.

At the intersection of Johnston Street and E. University Avenue, TFP-Louisiana volunteer Elias Bartel led one eventful rosary rally with much support. He said, “With just one Honk for America sign, I didn’t know how the public would respond, but they really exceeded my expectations.” Throughout the rosary, the car horns could be heard melding with the Hail Marys. Many smiling faces revealed their joy at seeing the rally. One family even joined the rally spontaneously. They were happily surprised to run into it. They prayed until the end and thanked Elias for holding the rally, as it is needed now more than ever.

Such reactions indicated that many Americans yearn for these public displays. They are impressed when they find Catholics who boldly present their faith in the public square.

More Rosary Rally Captains Each Year

Volunteers of TFP-Louisiana also joined a later rally on the sidewalk facing Ambassador Caffery Parkway, just outside of Our Lady of Lourdes Regional Medical Center.

Each year, new rally captains sign up and find new places to hold their events. This was the first time a rally was held near Our Lady of Lourdes—and it will not be the last. Twenty participants including a Catholic priest in full traditional cassock stood out. Even without any honk signs to encourage the public, many still showed their support with waves, honks, and smiles. After the Rosary, the priest gave the crowd a blessing with holy water to end the rally.

As at Lepanto May Victory Come Soon

These events were only two of the 22,662 rallies across the country praying for a conversion of America, confiding in Our Lady as at Lepanto. There are so many intentions for which to pray—the end of abortion, the problems of education and other moral issues. Efforts like these massive rallies weigh heavily before heaven to hasten to the aid of those who defend the faith. May they hasten the triumph of Our Lady’s Immaculate Heart.
