About Me:
Scott D. Pomfret is author of Since My Last Confession -- a funny, irreverent faith journey by a gay Catholic pursuing his Archbishop in the style of Michael Moore’s Roger & Me. Scott Pomfret, federal prosecutor and practicing Catholic struggles to reconcile faith with the Church’s 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 confronts a hardcore atheist boyfriend and a pack of motorcycle lesbians, gay priests, flaming friars, pious prelates, would-be Opus Dei homosexual monks, three “Hale” Marys, Father McSlutty, and homicidal orthodox bloggers along the way. 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 wrestles with faith, doubt, sex, love, and priestly undergarments.

Things that simply screamed that he was getting very bad advice from the priests with whom he surrounded himself. As I wrote in Since My Last Confession, one of these acts was to slip into a Catholic elementary school in…

GAY PROSECUTOR AND ROMANCE WRITER CHALLENGES CATHOLIC HIERARCHY

On June 10, Arcade Publishing will release a new book by gay federal prosecutor Scott D. Pomfret called Since My Last Confession. Pomfret, a Catholic, tells two intertwined stories: 1) How he -- as a gay Catholic federal prosecutor, romance writer, and practicing Catholic and lector -- reconciled faith, gay romance, and a hostile Roman Catholic hierarchy; and 2) How equality advocates defeated an amendment banning same-sex marriage in Massachusetts, the second-most Catholic state in the countr… Continue

AUTOMATED CONFESSION

As you will read about in the book, YouTube can be addictive. I swear I am on the YouTube wagon, but someone sent me a video I could not help but sharing.

Thank you sir, ugh, as the good book says, "Where 2 or 3 are gathered together in my name, there shall I be also" or something like that. I'll be happy for the 2 or 3. See ya then!
