In an earlier article, we discussed the pure blasphemy written by Catholic professor Tat siong Benny Liew in the book “Queering Closets and Perverting Desires: Cross-Examining John’s Engendering and Transgendering Word across Different Worlds.”

Liew teaches “New Testament” and “Sex, Money, Power, and Sacred Texts” for the Religious Studies department of Holy Cross College.

Students from the Catholic and Jesuit College of the Holy Cross are being taught by someone who subscribes to perversion that endorses homosexuality, eroticism, sado-masochism, incest, androgyny, and sexualizing the Word of God. To read exactly what Liew wrote, please see here.

A petition was posted on TFP Student Action which urged the Jesuit college to stop teaching “drag king” blasphemy against our Lord. Over 16,000 people agreed and signed the petition calling for professor Liews removal.

The Bishop of Worcester, Massachusetts, Reverend Robert J. McManus, published a statement in the local Catholic newspaper calling on Holly Cross to request Liew disavow his highly offensive statements.

Of Liew, Bishop McManus wrote that his writings “cast doubts on the male sexuality of Jesus Christ based on Professor Liew’s seriously flawed analysis of some texts of the Gospel of St. John. I am deeply troubled and concerned to hear that someone who holds an endowed chair in New Testament studies at the College of the Holy Cross has authored such highly offensive and blasphemous notions. Such positions have no place in the biblical scholarship of a professor who teaches at a Catholic college and who, as such, should be supportive of the college’s Catholic identity and mission.”

And of Father Boroughs, the bishop wrote, “Academic freedom certainly plays a critical role in the intellectual life of a Catholic institution of higher learning like Holy Cross. However, how that academic freedom is exercised, particularly in the fields of theology or religious studies, cannot provide cover for blatantly unorthodox teaching. Clearly, the biblical conclusions that Professor Liew has reached in his writings are both false and perverse.”

The bishop added, “Holy Cross has a duty to, at least, ask Professor Liew if he rejects the biblical positions he penned some 10 years ago or if he supports and defends those positions today. If he disavows them, then he must state so publicly, so as not to create confusion about the nature of Christ. If he does not, then it is my duty as the bishop of Worcester to clearly state that such teaching is a danger to the integrity of the Catholic faith and, in prudence, warn the Catholic faithful committed to my pastoral care that such unorthodox teaching has no place in a Catholic college whose mission is to promote and cultivate the Catholic intellectual tradition.”

Holy Cross is a Jesuit college and is not controlled by the Worcester diocese that Bishop McManus leads.

Although we have criticized the pope, the sexual immorality running rampant with Catholic leaders, and other idolatrous parts of the Catholic faith, Bishop McManus took a stand against such blasphemy, which is more action than anyone at the university took.

The dismissive institutional statement said the book was originally “meant to foster discussion among a small group of Biblical scholars exploring marginalization.”

And Reverend Philip L. Boroughs, the president at Holy Cross, said he disagreed with the book but, knows Professor Liew to be a “dedicated teacher and an engaged scholar,” and that “he is a man of faith.”

Professor Liew was defended by the university as they have dismissed the local bishop as well as the 16,000 people who petitioned for the professors removal, and plan to carry on without even asking the teacher to disavow his extremely offensive writings.

    In humans and many other animals, specific chromosomes determine sex. But how did researchers discover these so-called sex chromosomes?

    Muhammad was a CROSS-DRESSER:
    Sahih Muslim 4415—Abu Bakr requested permission from the prophet to enter when the prophet was lying down on Aisha’s bed wearing her garment [mirt]. So the prophet gave permission to Abu Bakr to enter while he (Muhammad) was in that state and Abu Bakr finished what he needed and left. Later, Umar came and requested permission to enter and the prophet gave him permission to enter while he (Muhammad) was in that state. So Umar finished what he needed and left. Later, Uthman requested permission to enter to the prophet, so Muhammad sat up and told Aisha, “Take all the clothing that belongs to you.”

    Sahih Muslim 4472—The wives of the prophet sent Fatimah, the daughter of the prophet, to him and she requested permission to enter while he was lying down on my bed in my robe [Mirt]. He gave her permission to enter and she told him that his wives had sent her to him seeking justice concerning the daughter of Abu Kahafa (Aisha). The prophet said to her, ‘O daughter, do you not love what I love?’ She replied, ‘Yes! I do.’ He then said to her, ‘Then love her also.’ So Fatimah got up when she heard that from the prophet and returned to the wives of the prophet. Then the wives sent to the prophet Zaynab Bint Jahsh…who requested permission from the prophet to enter while he was with Aisha in her robe [Mirt] and in the same state that Fatimah found him in.”

    Here is the refutation of Muslim lies and trash:

    OK.

  3. They might as well shut the Holy Cross University down. What good is it? It certainly doesn’t represent the “Fundamentalist Christians” of which I PROUDLY am “unashamed” to be one.

  4. Hey “Professor”….Come say the same slanderous, blasphemous, insulting, ridiculous and disgusting things about Jesus the Christ of Nazareth, my Lord, Savior, King, Counselor, Teacher, Healer, best friend, crucified and risen Lord, the Truth, the Life, the Way, the Bread of Life, etc. etc. to my face and I will happily kick the overflowing feces out of you, you frigging low-brow pervert!

  5. He does not have faith as a follower of Jesus the Christ. He has hatred of Jesus and serves Satan with his words of blasphemy towards Gods son Jesus. How his own lips have revealed his true intentions to deceive so many under his cloak of scholarly pride. Would he say that to God? I know he would not. He doesn’t believe. To the 16000 students…..leave that place. Wickedness abounds.

  6. This is just one of the reasons I left seminary . These heretics are given tenure and free reign across the academic community. No one stands up to them or calls them out . There is no accountability anymore. The spirit of God does not dwell in the hearts of these fools . They exalt themselves above God and His word without shame . Unless they are convicted and repent they will be counted among the false shepherds that lead the lambs astray .

    • The 16,000 who signed must now make good and leave, or do a walkout ’til he / she leaves.
      Evil understands $$money$$.

  7. Pope Francis is a Jesuit – I am sure he fully support this character what more can one say? I am not a catholic but having watched from the outside what Francis stands for and supports I am surprised he is still there – we are definitely watching the fall of the first church – and it was foretold – get ready for Armageddon kids…

  8. Really? “a dedicated teacher and an engaged scholar,” and that “he is a man of faith.” What faith? A scholar of what? His next book may be about Muhammad and how he was a selfless hermit who spread peace and love. And how his followers loved Christians and Jews.

  9. Let the brave “Catholic” professor write a book accusing Muhammad of being a child rapist (that is actually true). That will get him removed from the gene pool. And the Jesuit college seems to be about as ant-Christian as the Jesuit Pope.
