Hi, there -- I am the author of Since My Last Confession: A Gay Catholic Memoir. It will be published by Arcade Publishing in June 2008. Below, I've put in a description of the book. I hope you will check it out. In the next couple of months, I will begin blogging on topics related to the book. Come back and 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 Mand angry orthodox bloggers along the way. Addressing topics ranging from a firsthand account of a 1970s SWAT team raid of a gay Mass to "Ten Ways to Recognize a Gay Catholic" to Harry Potter's Satanism, Confession is one man's personal experience of wrestling with faith, doubt, sex, love, and priestly undergarments.

Their sin, the pastor made clear, was not their lesbianism per se. In fact, they regularly attended Mass and their family picture had appeared in the parish directory. What brought them down was the... (continue reading) The Show Must Go OnPosted May 01st, 2008 at 02:17am Saint Pio of Pietrelcina was a cutter. Like a twentieth-century Amy Winehouse or one of those hunched-shoulder hollow-eyed Goth girls sporting black eyeliner and nail polish and satanic tats that you occasionally see congregating in parking lots on suburban high school campuses, Padre Pio practiced self-mutilation. According to a document in the Vatican archive, Pio ordered four grams of carbolic acid from a pharmacist from San Giovanni Rotundo and asked her to keep the order a secret. The...

Don't get me wrong. I am pleased and proud that members of the gay Catholic group Dignity staked out the roadside along the Popemobile's route through Washington DC. For years, Dignity has been the strongest gay Catholic voice in the nation. But crowing about the Pope's having waved to the silent Dignity contingent made me squirm. Are we really satisfied with that - a Papal wave? The news story makes the members sound like a pair of Okies vacationing in Hollywood... (continue reading) friends (15) |
