Dear friends....
I'm not entirely clear as to Canon Law on this issue. However, it represents
to me the continued sin of public homophobia in the church. I wonder if this
same prelate would be as concerned about parishiners who had defrauded someone
in their business dealings? Is the church ever going to get over the idea
that the "sins of the groin" are of greater significance than other sins? I'd
argue that homosexuality, or its practice is NOT inherently sinful.....but I
say that as a gay Christian, and a clergy person to boot. Once again the
church is being a terrible example of the love of Christ....
