I am ambivalent. This is just mean spirited. On the other hand, as a Catholic who is tired of the pink mafia, I would welcome the outing of priests who violate their vows of celibacy. And I do not trust the Bishops to do it. Too many of them are Bernardin’s Boys.

It’s bad to judge hypocritically.

OTOH, we need regular people to speak out.

I thought this was mean spirited too.
The best I can find on this Phil dude is he’s a Catholic gay guy who is NOT working with the church in this matter, but doing this for himself.

IMHO, it’s just not his problem. He appears to be some sort of liberal activist who happens to be Catholic and using that to satisfy his agenda. I could be wrong but that’s how it appears.

What a waste!
Hopefully his little website will be swamped with wild geese to keep him busy.

I think those who violate the vows should be dealt with by the congregation or group within the church, and not some pinko with a website.
