A prominent anti-gay Catholic blogger has admitted that he had “live-in relationships with homosexual men” in the past.

Internet evangelist Michael Voris, who founded the ChurchMilitant website and is a strong opponent to LGBT rights within the Church.

He has previously rallied against “militant gays” who “violently promote the gay agenda of free disordered sexual behavior, redefinine marriage into extinction andaggressively wear down those who don’t approve of the gay lifestyle”.

Voris also claimed that “gay hedonism” seeks to corrupt society… and it turns out he has done some very in-depth research of his own into that topic.

In a video this week, he admitted to engaging in “sins of a sexual nature” with other men, claiming the New York archdiocese was planning to exploit his “past life” and use it against him.

He said: “For most of my years in my thirties, confused about my own sexuality, I lived a life of live-in relationships with homosexual men.

“From the outside, I lived the lifestyle and contributed to scandal in addition to the sexual sins. On the inside, I was deeply conflicted about all of it. In a large portion of my twenties, I also had frequent sexual liaisons with both adult men and adult women.”

He added: “These are the sins of my past life in this area which are all now publicly admitted and owned by me. That was before my reversion to the Faith.

“Since my reversion, I abhor all these sins, especially in the world of the many many other sins I have committed having nothing to do with sexuality.

“I gave in to deep pains from my youth by seeking solace in lust, and in the process, surrendered my masculinity.

“Many of you know the story of my mother’s prayers and sacrifices and pleading to God on my behalf that I give up my sinful life and return home to the Church.

“As a last resort, she prayed to be given whatever suffering needed so that I would be granted sufficient grace to revert. It was shortly after that prayer that her very early stage stomach cancer was detected, which she died from a few years later.

“When my mom died, I pledged at her coffin that I would change… I returned fully and completely to the Faith.”

He claims God “rescued me from a miserable, horrible spiritual darkness where I lost almost all understanding of myself”.
