Scrutiny of a group of protesters at Bishop Salvatore Cordileone’s visit to the Jesuit School of Theology at the Graduate Theological Union last week has put the spotlight on a variant of the Rosary designed by homosexual activists to contemplate what they call the “Relational Mysteries.”
The Bishop of Oakland's visit was intended to commemorate the merging of the Jesuit school with Santa Clara University.
The California Catholic Daily reports that the visit’s protesters, about twenty in number, included Rev. Dr. Rebecca Parker, president of the Starr King (Unitarian Universalist) School of Ministry; Rev. Roland Stringfellow, the organizer of the GTU’s Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies; Rev. Sanna Reinholtzen, a Lutheran minister; and doctoral student Eugene McMullan, apparently a Catholic.
McMullan is the founder of a group called Catholics for Marriage Equality. In August, the group held a “Pray for Equality” event outside St. Mary’s Cathedral in San Francisco, at which they were to recite the “Relational Mysteries."
