Dear Bishop Lynch,
I am not here to ask you to clarify your comments because quite frankly I do not care what you had to say in regards to Catholics targeting homosexuals verbally & breeding contempt for gays. I am however writing to express to you that HIPHOP & music has dominated the culture predominately in the LGBT community. The reason the patrons at Pulse Night Club were there that night of the massacre was to express unity within their community of Sexual Pro-Choice believers. Music is responsible for many of our youth who express themselves & 9 times out of 10 they do it with music that compliments their lifestyles.
What do we need from Catholic officials?
Firstly, we do not need controversial opinions going viral from high profile officials which can be deemed as the view of the church. We need Catholic officials to pay attention to the culture & stop pussy-footing around as if peace within our future generation is not at stake. Music, again is the source of all expression for these communities. If we can tap into the music obsession within these cultures we can contribute to a change of moral life decisions.
As a young African American baptized into the faith in 2005; coming from a world filled with hell riddled throughout culture, I discovered that music is the key to conversion.
As a Catholic Hip Hop artist I am well aware of the segregation between church and Hip Hop. So you are right, it is our fault for many things happening in this world. In fact, it is our faith! Which is not to blame. We have been warned of the days of persecution an your comments commend such happenings.
Please take time to consider ways to advance the LGBT community through the art of Catholic Music. If the church doesn't take the cultural influence Hip Hop seriously, how will it's parishioners?
Thank you for your time! My name is Melvin "Rabelzthemc" Windley.
I am a Catholic HipHop artist called to Bridge The Gap Between Catholicism & HipHop, inspired by The Diary of St. Faustina.
"Novena" [song]: $1
What do I need from you? Besides your genuine prayers, I need you to consider making a donation of $100.
(Period. Point Blank. Let me explain...)
Your donation will allow me to cover the costs of reproducing my music as demand is at an all time high. The online mixing programs I used called Landr costs roughly $40 per month. Multiply that by 12 months and that's a whopping $480 per year!! I enjoy delivering to my audience a professional and crisp sound when they tune in to my music. I would like to continue providing that quality & other misc (promo). regarding my music ministry but I need your help.
Now before you make any assumptions let me tell you that I have been accused of being probably the most creative, influential individual to continue the legacy of The Divine Mercy movement within the urban community culture here in America.
On February 15, 2016. I released an online music project titled: #Mercy.
iTunes: $9.99
This album was featured in The Marian Helper's Online Magazine Spring 2016 edition.

My mission is to fulfill the requests of our savior Jesus Christ by spreading the works of Mercy; word of mouth. My next endeavor is to be featured on EWTN; Journey Home: hosted by Marcus Grodi, where I will be sharing my life's story from the beginning about being a non-church going Baptist to a full fledged active Catholic.
'Marcus Grodi' [audio song]: $.99
Thank you for supporting my intention to Bridge The Gap Between Catholicism & Hip Hop.
Please consider donating $100 to help accomplish this goal of spreading the works of Divine Mercy through Hip Hop.
If a donation cannot be made please consider any other opportunity that may be available for me to continue sharing the works of Jesus Divine Mercy through my music ministry. Please also consider writing an article about my story and how the message of Divine Mercy is thriving in urban communities.
With love, mercy, & trust.
