St Gallen diocese promotes drag show in Switzerland
The Catholic pastoral office of St. Gallen, Switzerland, is co-organizing a free drag event in a public hall, and a church-employed liturgist will moderate it on stage this Friday evening.
Titled “Deep Drag – Memory and Hope,” the program will feature a St. Gallen “drag performer” referred to as “Lupa Nova” and “drag queen Amélie Putain” who, according to local media, are “working together with the city chaplaincy of Katholisch St.Gallen.”
The St. Gallen Catholic Church website highlights an advertisement for the event.
The format mixes “drag performances” with interviews and discussion facilitated by Ann-Katrin Gässlein, identified as an employed theologian in the pastoral offices the Catholic Church in St. Gallen, and a research assistant at the Chair of Liturgy Studies of the University of Lucerne.
According to a report by traditional Catholic writer and commentator Chris Jackson, Gässlein “even finds a theological analogy between drag and Christianity: ‘transformation,’ she argues, stands at the center of Catholic faith. She says the collaboration is meant to send a signal for diversity within society and the Catholic Church.”
In response to this presentation, Jackson clarified that “Christian conversion means the old man dies so that the new man may live in Christ. Drag deliberately manipulates the symbols of sex and identity as performance. These are hardly the same spiritual movement.” 09/16/26 https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/catholic-diocese-promotes-drag-show-in-switzerland/?utm_source=featured-news
Dressing in “drag” is not compatible with the Bible. Here are four Roman Catholic translations of Deuteronomy 22:5:
Douay-Rheims Bible
A woman shall not be clothed with man’s apparel, neither shall a man use woman’s apparel : for he that doeth these things is abominable before God.Catholic Public Domain Version
A woman shall not be clothed with manly apparel, nor shall a man make use of feminine apparel. For whoever does these things is abominable with God.New American Bible
A woman shall not wear a man’s garment, nor shall a man put on a woman’s clothing; for anyone who does such things is an abomination to the LORD, your God.New Revised Standard Version
A woman shall not wear a man’s apparel, nor shall a man put on a woman’s garment; for whoever does such things is abhorrent to the LORD your God.
The Vatican would be wise to stop this ‘Deep Drag’ event.
While the LGBTQ crowd wants such, many others see such promotions as incompatible with moral teachings. Here is something related to the Orthodox in Eastern Europe:
‘Incompatible with Christian morality’: Orthodox patriarchs speak out against LGBT ideology
June 16, 2026
Leaders from Orthodox Churches have spoken out against LGBT “pride” parades across Europe. …
The Bulgarian Patriarchate said in a statement that humanity was created by God “as man and woman” and that the family is the natural environment for raising children, warning that “pride” parades promote views and behaviors that are “incompatible with Christian moral teaching.”
The Romanian Orthodox Church also criticized the “pride” events. It stated in a declaration that the LGBT movement endangers “social peace and mutual respect,” which are indispensable for the common good. Events such as Bucharest Pride could intensify confusion regarding spiritual values in a society already facing challenges such as demographic decline and social instability. https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/incompatible-with-christian-morality-orthodox-patriarchs-speak-out-against-lgbt-ideology/
What about the Vatican?
Some of its clergy take a different view of ‘pride’ events.

Catholic parish in Germany backs pro-LGBT parade, joins Protestants in offering ‘blessings’
A Catholic parish church in Germany came out in support of the pro-LGBT Christopher Street Day (CSD) parade in conjunction with the local Protestant parish.
According to a local news outlet, on June 13 the Protestant church in Pforzheim and the Catholic parish of the Sacred Heart will support the CSD, as Christiane Quincke, dean of the Protestant church in Pforzheim, and Father Steffen Schölch, parish priest of the Catholic parish of Pforzheim, said in a statement.
“A few weeks ago, we celebrated Pentecost. This feast shows that the Holy Spirit unites people and creates community,” the statement reads.
No one should have to hide their “identity” or background, the church leaders stressed.
“On the contrary: God created us in diversity and unites us. We are firmly convinced that every person – regardless of religion, background, social status, or sexual identity – is created by God and loved by God. We share this concern with CSD [Christopher Street Day], which advocates for the dignity of queer people, seeks to make visible the diversity of people in their sexual identities, and takes to the streets for their rights.”
The churches will have a joint booth during the CSD parade in Pforzheim and plan to administer “blessings” for the participants.
“We view with great concern the fact that queer people are increasingly subjected to hostility and threats – including in Pforzheim,” the joint church statement said, …
On its website, the Pforzheim parish has a section labeled “for queer people” that links to the website of the Archdiocese of Freiburg headed by Archbishop Stephan Burger. The archdiocese has an “offer for queer people,” which appears to be a form of “pastoral care” that does not call sinners to repentance but instead affirms them in their supposed “queer identity.”
“Queer gender identities can include, for example, non-binary, gender-fluid, genderqueer, or agender, which demonstrates that gender is diverse and need not be confined to rigid categories,” the website of the archdiocese states. 06/09/26 https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/catholic-parish-in-germany-backs-pro-lgbt-parade-joins-protestants-in-offering-blessings/
Instead of condoning sin, note what the Bible says:
1 Cry aloud, spare not;
Lift up your voice like a trumpet;
Tell My people their transgression,
And the house of Jacob their sins. (Isaiah 58:1)22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man — and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.
24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, 25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them. (Romans 1:22-32)
Drag queens are almost exclusively homosexual or bisexual males. Here are Roman Catholic translations of Romans 1:27:
Douay-Rheims Bible
And, in like manner, the men also, leaving the natural use of the women, have burned in their lusts one towards another, men with men working that which is filthy, and receiving in themselves the recompense which was due to their error.Catholic Public Domain Version
And similarly, the males also, abandoning the natural use of females, have burned in their desires for one another: males doing with males what is disgraceful, and receiving within themselves the recompense that necessarily results from their error.New American Bible
and the males likewise gave up natural relations with females and burned with lust for one another. Males did shameful things with males and thus received in their own persons the due penalty for their perversity.New Revised Standard Version
and in the same way also the men, giving up natural intercourse with women, were consumed with passion for one another. Men committed shameless acts with men and received in their own persons the due penalty for their error.
Here are Roman Catholic translations of 1 Corinthians 6:9:
Douay-Rheims Bible
Know you not that the unjust shall not possess the kingdom of God? Do not err: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers,Catholic Public Domain Version
Do you not know that the iniquitous will not possess the kingdom of God? Do not choose to wander astray. For neither fornicators, nor servants of idolatry, nor adulterers,New American Bible
Do you not know that the unjust will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators nor idolaters nor adulterers nor boy prostitutes nor sodomitesNew Revised Standard Version
Do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived! Fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, male prostitutes, sodomites,
How bad is the homosexual situation among the Roman Catholic clergy who can presumably read Roman Catholic Bibles?
In 2019, a book came out titled: In The Closet of the Vatican.
Here are some quotes from the book In The Closet of the Vatican put online by the National Catholic Reporter:
February 19, 2019
‘He’s of the parish,’ the priest whispers conspiratorially in my ear.
The first person who used that coded expression in front of me was an archbishop from the Roman Curia.
‘You know, he’s very practising. He’s of the parish,’ he stressed in a low voice, talking to me about the morals of a famous Vatican cardinal, a former ‘minister’ of John Paul II, who both of us knew well. …
About forty cardinals and hundreds of bishops, monsignori, priests and ‘nuncios’ (the pope’s ambassadors) agreed to meet me. Among them, alleged homosexuals, who were present in the Vatican every day, introduced me to their world of initiates. …
I installed myself in Rome, one week every month, regularly inside the Vatican, thanks to the hospitality of senior prelates who sometimes revealed that they too were ‘part of the parish’. And then I travelled across the world, through more than thirty countries, among the clergies of Latin America, Asia, the United States and the Middle East, to collect over a thousand statements. During that long investigation I spent more than a hundred and fifty nights a year reporting, away from home, away from Paris. …
The best-kept secret of the Vatican is no secret to Pope Francis. He knows his ‘parish’. Since arriving in Rome he has known that he is dealing with an organisation that is quite extraordinary in its way, and that isn’t restricted, as people believed for a long time, to a few lost sheep. It’s a system; and a huge herd. How many are there? … Let’s just say: they represent the great majority. …
The Vatican has one of the biggest gay communities in the world, and I doubt whether, even in San Francisco’s Castro, the emblematic gay quarter, though more mixed today, there are quite as many gays! …
‘How much filth there is in the Church,’ said Cardinal Ratzinger, who also discovered the extent of the ‘closet’ through a secret report by three cardinals, the content of which was described to me and that was one of the major reasons for his resignation. This report is said to reveal not so much the existence of a ‘gay lobby’, as was said, as the omnipresence of homosexuals in the Vatican, blackmail and harassment built into the system. There is, as Hamlet might have said, something rotten in the state of the Vatican.
The homosexual sociology of Catholicism also helps us to explain another reality: the end of vocations in Europe. For a long time, as we will see, young Italians who discovered that they were homosexual, or who had doubts about their inclinations, chose the priesthood. …
Here is the pope: threatened and attacked on all sides and generally criticized, Francis is said to be ‘among the wolves’.
It’s not quite true: he’s among the queens. https://www.ncronline.org/news/accountability/excerpt-closet-vatican
Sexual immorality is a big problem for the Church of Rome.
This should make it clear to Roman Catholics that their clergy is NOT filled with holy men.
The Apostle Paul warned:
9 Do you not realise that people who do evil will never inherit the kingdom of God? Make no mistake — the sexually immoral, idolaters, adulterers, the self-indulgent, sodomites,10 thieves, misers, drunkards, slanderers and swindlers, none of these will inherit the kingdom of God. (1 Corinthians 6:9-10, New Jerusalem Bible–a Roman Catholic approved translation)
Note: Sodomites are homosexuals.
It is NOT good to promote Drag Queens, their story hours, and various other forms of perversion, despite some saying it is.
Notice also the following:
9 The look on their countenance witnesses against them,
And they declare their sin as Sodom;
They do not hide it.
Woe to their soul!
For they have brought evil upon themselves. (Isaiah 3:9) NKJV4 A haughty look, a proud heart,
And the plowing of the wicked are sin. (Proverbs 21:4)
Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed for pushing an ancient LGBTQ agenda. The moderns are no better and seem to be worse. And, of course, they do not like the Bible condemning their behaviours and pride as sin.
The Bible warns about something consistent with that in the last days:
1 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come:2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good,4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!6 For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts,7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. (2 Timothy 3:1-7)
Many people seemingly despise the moral teachings of the word of God–this will not end well:
12 Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel:
“Because you despise this word,
And trust in oppression and perversity,
And rely on them,
13 Therefore this iniquity shall be to you
Like a breach ready to fall,
A bulge in a high wall,
Whose breaking comes suddenly, in an instant.
14 And He shall break it like the breaking of the potter’s vessel,
Which is broken in pieces;
He shall not spare.
So there shall not be found among its fragments
A shard to take fire from the hearth,
Or to take water from the cistern.” (Isaiah 30:12-14)
All, including Roman Catholic parishes, should believe and heed the Bible and not despise its teachings.
Drag queen shows at churches are a perverse mockery of the Bible.
