Joseph Sciambra says porn made him gay. At least, it was a major causal factor in his dark journey from shy Catholic kid to appearing in amateur gay porn and doing degrading things in leather bars. Joseph has told his story to anyone, any media outlet, willing to listen. Including Howard Stern, on whose raunchy show Joseph appeared as a guest in 2013. But Catholic media? Not so much. Perhaps that his backstory is so dark and raw, that the redemption part of the story takes longer to land. Perhaps it's that Sciambra is committed to focusing laser-like on the astonishing inroads made by LGTB activists in parishes and dioceses across the country. Few writers provide as much brutally candid insights into the homosexualist movement, the bodily, psychic, and spiritual wounds that attend homosexual acts, and the widespread failure of Catholic leaders to acknowledge the room's neon elephant. In this interview, you'll learn a new way to approach the "gay topic" from someone who is committed to reaching those still in the lifetstyle through his street ministry, "Jesus Loves Gay Men." Three questions for you to ponder and comment below, -Why do you think he's found it hard to get invited to Catholic conferences when evangelicals are willing to collaborate with his ministry? -What are you thoughts on how the "LGBT" agenda has been so successful in embedding itself at the diocesan level in places like Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, and Newark, NJ? -Have you ever thought you faced a seemingly insurmountable obstacle to success — yet somehow found a way?
