What do Catholics think about Fr. Martin and his "outreach" to gay Catholics? |

I’m not aware of him, but as the parent of a practicing Catholic who happens to be a lesbian, I’m supportive of a true effort to make LGBTQ Catholics feel welcome. We really liked the initiative run by the HRC.
Can you tell me more about him and his work? |

NP - I've seen him on TV a few times and figured he was gay -- just a guess, though |

Here's the Wikipedia article about Martin. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Martin_(priest,_born_1960)
He's affiliated with St. Ignatius Loyola, a Jesuit parish, on Park Avenue in Manhattan. He's liberal on lots of issues--as are many other Jesuits. |

| I think that we were taught to love another as ourselves. |

How so? Have you read his books? He is more “what would Jesus do?” than anything. |

| He's awesome. If he was my priest I would go back to the Church. |

| He is a kind, compassionate and open minded person. Priests like him are bringing people back to God. |

Cradle Catholic raising 5 Catholics and I agree. I follow him on Facebook and he posts really interesting articles/messages. I would really like to just sit and hear him talk. |
