Recently, Church Militant spoke with parishioner "Adrian Jesson" about the turmoil faithful SJE Catholics have endured under openly gay church staffer Aaron Bianco and homosexualist enablers inside two Southern California chanceries.
Bianco, Jesson explained, wields considerable power owing to his "very close" relationship with Bp. McElroy and his pro-gay auxiliary, John Dolan.
"Everyone in the diocese is scared of Bianco," he said. "They all know that whatever he says, goes, due to his closeness to McElroy and Dolan."
"People sarcastically call him Bp. Aaron," Jesson added.
Bianco once worked as head of young adult ministry at St. Joseph Cathedral, seat of the San Diego diocese. But after the death of Bp. Cirilo Flores in September 2014, cathedral pastor Fr. Patrick Mulcahy dismissed Bianco, reportedly for using "alternate translations of Bible passages to fit an LGBT narrative."
Aaron Bianco, pastoral associate at SJE
Soon after pro-gay San Francisco auxiliary Robert McElroy was consecrated bishop of San Diego in April 2015, Bianco's fortunes began to turn. In June, he secured a position as program outreach associate for Call To Action, a group founded in Detroit that promotes dissident causes like same-sex "marriage" and women's ordination.
At that time, SJE was being pastored by Fr. William Dillard, a faithful priest who upheld Catholic teaching on homosexuality, even leading his parishioners in prayer for the conversion of San Diegans participating in the city's annual gay pride parade.
But in 2016, Fr. Dillard was transferred away from SJE. With Fr. Dillard out of the way, that summer, Bp. McElroy installed Bianco at SJE as "pastoral associate." The activist layman was soon followed by pro-gay priest, Fr. John Dolan.
Auxiliary Bp. John Dolan, former pastor of SJE
Jesson speculates that Fr. Dillard was transferred specifically to make way for Dolan. On Dolan's arrival, he told Church Militant, "Bp. McElroy and Aaron Bianco began grooming Fr. Dolan into becoming the champion of the LGBT community in San Diego."
Under the activist duo's administration, SJE took on a radical new character. As Dolan looked the other way, Bianco launched a propaganda campaign in support of dissident pro-gay group New Ways Ministry (NWM).
Suddenly, posters promoting NWM began popping up on church bulletin boards. Flyers advertising the group's April 2017 symposium "Justice and Mercy Shall Kiss" appeared on vestibule tables. A pamphlet containing abortion information was found lying on a table in the sacristy.
St. John the Evangelist was deemed the main test church in the U.S. to focus on the LGBT community.
Appalled, concerned parishioners — including members of the parish chapter of the Legion of Mary — approached Dolan about his heterodox "pastoral associate."

The parishioners questioned Dolan about Bianco's New Ways Ministry promotion; reportedly, Dolan responded by suggesting NWM is "approved by Bishops." In fact, though personally backed by pro-gay bishops like McElroy, New Ways Ministry is not approved by the Holy See; it has been formally condemned by the Vatican for its promotion of homosexuality.
In spite of this, Dolan later participated in "Justice and Mercy Shall Kiss." After learning of their pastor's plans to attend, faithful SJE Catholics confronted Dolan about New Ways Ministry and its gay agenda. But Dolan was dismissive.
"There are bishops that will be there, so it's OK," he told them.
"Lately under our new Pastor, Fr. John Dolan, we welcomed the gay community, a very commendable development, advertising the Church as a Welcoming Parish," she told Abp. Gomez.
But, she continued, "The stance in our SJE Church now is seemingly acceptance without any serious attempt at conversion in the name of mercy."
She noted that "mercy without truth is not mercy, it is not love, it is cruel and an abuse of extreme magnitude, abandoning our brothers and sisters to eternal punishment."
"I have talked to three local priests and they informed me that this is the new thrust of our Diocese," she explained.
Instead of replying to the parishioner or acting on her concerns, Abp. Gomez moved to protect McElroy, Dolan and Bianco; he contacted them to warn them about the letter.
Not long after, Bianco confronted the parishioner, saying, "I got that letter you sent to Abp. Gomez! He sent it to me! He's my friend!"
Together, Dolan and Bianco launched a campaign of repression against faithful SJE Catholics, with devotees of the Blessed Mother targeted for special persecution.
Dolan kicked the Legion of Mary out of the parish, alleging its half-dozen members were not enough to justify their meeting on SJE property; meanwhile, Bianco's "LGBT Bible study" group — with fewer members than the Legion of Mary chapter — was allowed to remain.
Dolan also ordered a statue of the Virgin Mary installed by Fr. Dillan (and used for parishioners' house-to-house Rosary chain) to be removed from the church.
Daily Rosary group locked out, praying in SJE parking lot
For his part, Bianco put an end to the Rosary before daily Mass, falsely asserting that parishioners were bothered by it. According to Jesson, those who arrived early for Mass were devotees of the Rosary; they arrived early specifically to pray the Rosary together.
To keep the Rosary group out, Bianco ordered a church volunteer to keep SJE's doors locked until five minutes before daily Mass. Participants asked if they could pray the Rosary in the church cry room, but Bianco refused.
But the Rosary group refused to disband. For weeks, they met every afternoon outside the church to pray. Jesson told Church Militant that Dolan and Bianco "thought the daily Rosary people would go away, but they continuously showed up every day before Mass and prayed the Rosary in the parking lot."
The devotees were not allowed to resume praying inside the church until Dolan's successor was appointed.
Recent revelations by Abp. Carlo Maria Viganò, former papal nuncio to the United States, suggest that McElroy (a leading Church liberal), was specially chosen to orchestrate the homosexual infiltration of the San Diego diocese.
In April 2017, Bp. McElroy promoted Dolan to auxiliary bishop of San Diego.
During Dolan's transition to his new position, Jesson recalled, Bianco "was fully in charge" of SJE, even conducting communion services.
Once Dolan's replacement, Fr. Kevin Casey, arrived at SJE, he noticed daily Rosary devotees praying in the parking lot in the afternoon, and realized that the church doors were locked until just before Mass. Father Casey questioned Bianco about the oddities, and within days, the church was re-opened to the Rosary group.
"Theology on Tap" featuring Fr. James Martin
But Bianco's gay advocacy has continued under Fr. Casey. In March, for example, he organized a "Theology on Tap" event at SJE featuring homosexualist Jesuit Fr. James Martin. The event fell through, but faithful SJE parishioners were nevertheless scandalized.
The McElroy-Dolan-Bianco-Gomez cabal illustrates how the homosexual network infiltrates and operates at the parish level. According to Jesson, he was told by an SJE insider that "St. John the Evangelist was deemed the main test church in the U.S. to focus on the LGBT community."
The case also provides a glimpse into homosexualist maneuverings at the diocesan level and above.
Recent revelations by Abp. Carlo Maria Viganò, former papal nuncio to the United States, suggest that McElroy (a leading Church liberal), was specially chosen to orchestrate the homosexual infiltration of the San Diego diocese.
According to Viganò, McElroy's appointment came at the order of Vatican Secretary of State Cdl. Pietro Parolin who, along with Pope Francis and several of his advisors, covered up former Cdl. Theodore McCarrick's history as a serial sexual predator.

"The appointment of McElroy in San Diego was also orchestrated from above," Viganò wrote last week, "with an encrypted peremptory order to me as Nuncio, by Cardinal Parolin: 'Reserve the See of San Diego for McElroy'" [emphasis in original].
McElroy, Dolan and Bianco remain at their respective posts, cultivating the homosexual network. Faithful Catholics are sounding the alarm that if they remain, San Diego will go the way of Albany, devastated by former Bp. Howard Hubbard and a generation of homosexualist rule.
Santa Staleness :: By Edwin Tan Published on: December 24, 2022 by RR10 Category:General Articles My one and only trip to Israel had more than a profound effect on my present-day psyche. It might have been three decades ago, but there is more than a lingering aftertaste. It happened smack in the last fortnight of the year. Surprisingly absent were the familiar sights and sounds of the Christmas most people are accustomed to. Hardly any Christmas decorations in downtown Tel Aviv, if not any of the shopping thoroughfares across the Holy Land. Hanukah was a breath of fresh air – not anything resembling a Christmas carol most people grew up with did surface. The Christmas Eve service in a small Protestant church not far away from Jerusalem’s Old City was awesome; songs that truly celebrated the virgin birth of our Lord, which though seemingly unheard of, were a welcome inspiration to many a soul. There was even one sung in Arabic! So it began, my overt disdain for the secular Christmas t...
The Farm Chronicles: One Christmas :: By Bill Wilson Published on: December 24, 2022 by RR10 Category:Bill Wilson, General Articles There are a lot of terrible things going on right now in the world. But we are at the time of the year when we, as Christians, celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. We can choose to be impacted by the world around us in its dimly lit arena, or we can choose to let our light so shine. I choose the latter. I want to tell you a little about the Christmas that I had growing up on our family farm in Ohio. I was blessed to be born into a horse and cattle farm that has been in our family for some 200 years. And Christmas, especially Christmas Eve, was a wonderful time for our family. December 24 was my Dad’s birthday. And my Dad was well-loved by his neighbors and friends, so we had a lot going on Christmas Eve. I remember one special Christmas Eve. I must have been about four years old. The night was falling, and the wind and snow were whipping across the barny...
Miracles 2 :: By Jim Towers Published on: December 21, 2022 by RR10 Category:General Articles This story is a continuation of the exciting things God continues doing in my life. I was supposed to have died a while back, and sometimes I feel as though I may do so soon. But since I’m ready to meet my maker, I have no fear of death. In fact, my evangelistic zeal has only increased, especially as I see the fast approaching of the “Tribulation period” mentioned in the book of Revelation. Insofar as my acting career is concerned, I just finished filming a soliloquy featuring Melchior, one of the three Magi who followed the star to Christ lying in the manger, and am preparing to portray a Jewish Priest on stage. Like I said, God is working overtime in my life, and I will be appearing on stage singing Broadway show tunes sometime in March, so I have a lot of rehearsing to do. In the meantime, I will be signing Christmas carols acapella at a park here in Naples. Since it is a spontaneous th...
