About me:
Since My Last Confession is a funny, irreverent faith journey by a gay Catholic pursuing his Archbishop in the style of Michael Moore’s Roger & Me that answers the perennial question, “What’s a Nice Gay Catholic Part-time Porn Writer Doing in a Nasty Church Like This?” Scott Pomfret, a practicing Catholic in a long-term committed gay relationship with a hardcore atheist, tries to reconcile his faith with the Catholic hierarchy’s bitter attacks on gay marriage, gay adoption, gay seminarians, Capri pants, 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 runs into a host of motorcycle lesbians, gay priests, flaming friars, pious prelates, would-be Opus Dei monks, and angry orthodox bloggers along the way. Addressing topics ranging 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 is one man’s personal experience of wrestling with faith, doubt, sex, love, and priestly undergarments.
"One day historians will have a go at understanding how gay Catholics stood up for the deepest truths of the Catholic faith against a hierarchy who were opportunistically wedded to a reactionary modern ideology, and how they eventually wore the hierarchy back into belonging to the Church. If those historians don't pick up on the extraordinary mixture of sheer love, tender-heartedness, cussedness and hilarity which Since My Last Confession delivers in spades, then they will have quite failed to 'get it.'"
--James Alison, Catholic Priest, Theologian, and Author of "Faith Beyond Resentment"
"Scott Pomfret is the patron saint of devilish wit. With unabashed introspection that borders on the sacrilegious, Since My Last Confession artfully demonstrates a heartfelt faith in God and humanity that, frankly, the world could use a lot more of."
--Josh Kilmer-Purcell, Author of "I Am Not Myself These Days"
"Hovering somewhere between a heartbreaking cry of pain and a delicious howl of laughter Scott Pomfret’s 'Since My Last Confession' is a complete delight. Trying to make sense of the insane, hypocritical, and murderously ironic stances the Catholic Church takes – often articulated by gay, sexually active, priests – this not-quite apostate catholic does his best to claim and articulate a reasonable, rational, and truly religious relationship to the church. In short: Pomfret isn’t a 'recovering Catholic' – it’s the benighted men who have so sadly mismanaged the Roman Catholic church who are going to have to recover from this funny, heartfelt, and insightful memoir."
-- Michael A. Bronski, Professor, Dartmouth College, and Author of "Pulp Friction: Uncovering the Golden Age of Gay Male Pulps"

Who I'd like to meet:
Gay and Lesbian Catholics -- good, bad, lapsed, lazy -- and anyone who likes to read funny and passionate prose. Especially sinful people. You guys are more fun. And you can always go to confession later.
