Father James Martin, SJ has a problem with power. He craves it, as an addict dreams of the needle.

What do I mean? On the issue that most threatens the coherence of Christian churches and their liberty in America, Martin collaborates with the Church's persecutors: the powerful, prestigious, and culturally glamorous LGBT lobby.

When faithful Catholics speak out against him, he accuses them of "hate speech," which in some places is borderline illegal. He casts the organizations that criticize his stance as "extremists," even "alt-right." He's trying to smear orthodox Christians with the dung-soaked brush of disgraceful racism.
