"I, myself, thought I would live and die Catholic," Lopez said. "Now I don't know. It depends on how ugly this gets. They're obviously trying to beat us up, and we're not backing down. The Church has so many problems right now that I'm surprised the diocese is embarking on something that's this exclusionary and divisive."

The Church's teaching on this has NEVER changed. As a life-long Catholic you, Mr. Lopez, should know that. No excuses.

Obviously some priests have lied to Lopez.

Exactly. Obey the rules (yes, ALL of them) or get out. That bishop is 100% right!
