Jesuit priest Father James Martin, a favorite of globalist Pope Red Francis, has shared his disturbing take on the recent Supreme Court’s decision in Mahmoud v. Taylor.
In a 6-3 decision, the high court ruled that parents can opt out of classes with LGBTQ books.
In 2022, a Maryland county approved LGBTQ-themed books for elementary school children to bring ‘diversity’ to school districts. One of the books approved was titled, “Uncle Bobby’s Wedding” – a book about a gay wedding. Other books approved by the radical school board pushed gender transition onto children.
Father Martin reacted to the ruling and suggested that kids reading LGBT books is akin to Jesus sharing parables.
Martin initially shared a post on X with his distrubing views, but ulitmately removed it and created a longer essage at Outreach Faith.
From Martin’s essay at Outreach Faith:
The Supreme Court decision on parents opting out of their children reading books with LGBTQ characters is a reminder that objecting to LGBTQ issues often falls under the guise of “religious objections.” Obviously, some material is not suitable for children, especially if it’s sexually explicit, but some of these books simply introduced gay characters.
But pretty soon, it’s possible that even speaking to, or doing business with, an LGBTQ person (or having them teach your children) could be framed as a threat to one’s “religious values.” It’s important to remember that Christianity should not be used as a fig leaf for homophobia. Moreover, many straight Christians want to be welcoming to LGBTQ people; and many straight Christian parents pray that their children will come to know LGBTQ people as their brothers and sisters. Being Christian does not mean being homophobic.
And as for threatening stories, it’s essential to remember that Jesus not only reached out to those on the margins, but that one of his most famous stories, the Parable of the Good Samaritan, was about someone from a hated ethnic group—the Samaritans were at the time despised by many Jews, because of where they worshiped God (Luke 10: 25-37).

Before his death, Pope Francis sent a handwritten letter of support to Father James Martin to share his support of a pro-LGBT Outreach conference Martin participated in.
