‘God is Trans’ exhibit at ‘very liberal’ NYC Catholic Church raises eyebrows for take on gender identity

By Larry Celona Kyle Schnitzer and Jorge Fitz-Gibbo, NY Post, May 7, 2023: 6

A new exhibit at a “very liberal” Manhattan church is raising some eyebrows for its religious take on gender identity.

The “God is Trans: A Queer Spiritual Journey” display at the Church of St. Paul the Apostle has some parishioners scratching their heads — and seems to run counter to the Catholic Church’s stance on the transgender community.

“The church should not be promoting this,” one irate parishioner told The Post. “I understand there are transgender people. I pray for all people but enough is enough.

“It seems like they are trying to force the agenda on others,” they said. “Also, when a friend asked a priest about this they didn’t answer. You can’t put this out on the altar and then hide.

“That’s what gets the church in trouble.”

The display by artist Adah Unachukwu is described as a queer spiritual journey in three steps: Sacrifice, Identity and Communion.

According to the exhibit, Sacrifice represents the need to “shed an old life.” Identity is described as “the most impactful part” of the display, asking the question, ‘What does holiness look like?’

Communion places “God and the mortal on the same plane.”

While some took offense, others saw it as representative of the traditionally liberal Big Apple parish.

The Church of St. Paul the Apostle is featuring a new art exhibit titled, “God is Trans: A Queer Spiritual Journey,” which has ticked off some parishioners while thrilling others who find the traditional liberal church a welcome retreat.

The Church of St. Paul the Apostle in Manhattan.
Some parishioners did not appreciate the exhibit at the “very liberal” Catholic church in Manhattan.

“I don’t understand the art, but this church is very liberal, which is why I love this church,” said Cherri Ghosh, 80, who stopped by to admire the exhibit on Sunday.

“They are really in the present when others are not,” she said.

Another admirer said he’s been coming to the church for decades — and liked what he saw.

“The queer community has been accepted here for a long time now,” said Bill O’Connor, 79. “It’s wonderful having this here and a wonderful church.

It’s not the church per se’, but there are quite a few parishes falling for these lies.

One must look at the nation formerly known as the USA to see how guilty all denominations are.

” Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” – John Adams

The largest religious cult in America has a big D in front of it.

I wonder how many Americans will hear these words in that day??
“And then I will profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” Mat7:23

Don’t worry when God judges you, I am sure you will change your tune but than it will be too late because you will be going to HELL no matter what you say, do or think about. Satan is the deceiver in your lives, you abuse, ignore, alter, lie, conjure, manipulate God’s truth, word and Spirit and for that you belong to Satan, you got OWNED puppets!!!!!

The purpose is, of course, to cause all Catholics to LEAVE THE CHURCH!!! Because Catholics were born Catholics in their majority and their idea of God or Jesus or any of the other sanctities is already formed and it is NOT what the marxist left wants the church identity to be!! What the evil left wants is to empty the catholic churches from all worshipers. One more step in the destruction of America! Which is founded on JUDEO/CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES!! Both principles under attack by the marxist left.

SATAN or Baphomet is TRANS, not GOD. Now you know who the godless sodimites really worship…Satan! Look it up for yourself and then get over it.
These “churches” are NOT for God, but are on the hell bound track! Sodomy is godless! Truth hurts, don’t it!

The celibate Roman Catholic clergy has long been a “hideout” for those whose inner sexuality does not match their biological reality, and was, perhaps, an imposition of self penitence in SOME cases. But honest introspection is a creature off the past and self justification, denial of reality and self promotion are marks of the new. No surprise here! Much as they felt above and disdainful of their pagan ancestry, the congregations must admit who is in keeping with healthy natural principles and values.
