Hi, there -- I am the author of Since My Last Confession: A Gay Catholic Memoir, which has just been published by Arcade Publishing. Below, I've put in a description of the book. I hope you will check it out. SINCE MY LAST CONFESSION Since My Last Confession is a funny, irreverent faith journey by a gay Catholic pursuing his Archbishop in the style of Michael Moore's Roger & Me that answers the perennial question, "What's a Nice Gay Catholic Part-time Porn Writer Doing in a Nasty Church Like This?" Scott Pomfret, a practicing Catholic in a long-term committed gay relationship with a hardcore atheist, tries to reconcile his faith with the Catholic hierarchy's bitter attacks on gay marriage, gay adoption, gay seminarians, Capri pants, innate style, and anything else remotely homosexual. Convinced that a meeting with the Archbishop would foster homo-Catholic rapprochement and world peace, Pomfret pursues the prelate from pulpit to Chancery to state funeral -- and runs into a host of motorcycle lesbians, gay priests, flaming friars, pious prelates, would-be Opus Dei monks, dozens of Irish women named Mary, and angry orthodox bloggers along the way. Addressing topics ranging from a firsthand account of a 1970s SWAT team raid of a gay Mass to the "Ten Commandments of Reading Gay Porn" to Harry Potter's Satanism, Confession is one man's personal experience of wrestling with faith, doubt, sex, love, and priestly undergarments.

I have a new defense for all those self-proclaimed orthodox bloggers who might criticize Saint Anthony Shrine for being welcoming of gay and lesbian Catholics: At least we don't have a Buddha.<o:p> It seems that down in Australia, a bishop there has issued a warning to a "renegade" parish "where women can preach, homosexual couples can be blessed and social justice is championed." It seems the church is "operating outside practices and... (continue reading) You Have Heard of the "Dear John" Letter?Posted June 25th, 2008 at 10:28am Well, this is my "Dear Sean" letter. It's a perfect inversion. Instead of being about break-ups, it's about reconciliation. And leper kisses. That part is important.

Remember me? Well, not just me. Thousands of people, including Catholics. A year ago today, June 14, 2007, responding to the lobby of the Religious... (continue reading) friends (14) |
