Father James Martin, the famous liberal-progressive, pro-homosexual Jesuit media darling is used to publicly contradicting Church teaching.

In a new Twitter post, he comments:

#Trans students endure so many indignities already. They should be able to use whatever bathrooms they choose. It's doesn't hurt anybody.

— James Martin, SJ (@JamesMartinSJ) February 23, 2017

A quick glance at his tweets shows he embraces, among many things, homosexuality and transgenderism — using the "God made them that way" argument. He also regularly receives heavy criticism from faithful Catholics for his tweets.

This time, however, the criticism is from another priest, and the exchange will make you stand up and cheer:

Um ... this is a joke, right? Someone please tell me this is a parody accout and not actually coming from a Catholic priest. https://t.co/rojaHo8iSI

@FrMatt2013 No, I'm an actual Catholic priest in good standing who stands with the marginalized. Some charity is in order here, Father.

— James Martin, SJ (@JamesMartinSJ) February 23, 2017

@JamesMartinSJ Charity how? Charity includes admonishing the sinner, not contributing to their sin.

— Fr. Matt Bozovsky (@FrMatt2013) February 23, 2017

@FrMatt2013 Charity to a brother priest.

— James Martin, SJ (@JamesMartinSJ) February 23, 2017

@JamesMartinSJ Charity is saying when a brother priest has distorted human dignity. That's charity to him & those who hear his words

— Fr. Matt Bozovsky (@FrMatt2013) February 23, 2017

I've learned my lesson. Don't challenge Fr. James Martin or those who follow him will go on the attack. Sadly clear who they worship.

We need to hear more of this from our priests. Bravo, Fr. Bozovsky, bravo.
