I’m sure he accepts them, and will try to help them.
Where are the people pushing for Jews and muslims to serve pork and open bidding to all food vendors, not just those who meet their religious codes?
Heck, where are the homos pushing for Islamists to accept same sex marriage in SF?
The only thing he should hear from those who don't accept orthodox Catholic doctrine is their confession of sin and promise to repent.
Religious liberty and credibility, where he opens with:
"The recent compromise by the Obama administration on its proposed mandate of contraception was an appropriate response to legitimate and widespread Catholic concerns about religious liberty. Most Catholic organizations affected by the mandate found the compromise acceptable. The major holdout is the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. Even though the bishops have no credibility with their teachings on contraception, they were supported by the majority of Catholics in their initial response to the mandate."
Why let bishops drive us from church we love?, where he opens with:
"Well-informed U.S. Catholics are acutely aware of the arrogance, paternalism, flawed logic, inflammatory rhetoric, failure of personal accountability, and lack of pastoral sensitivity of many of our church leaders. The U.S. bishops have set the tone with their continued denial of the wholesale rejection of church teaching on contraception; their clumsy, heavy-handed, ineffective attempt to influence national health care legislation; their opposition to U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development regulations prohibiting discrimination against gays and lesbians; and their condemnation of the work of theologian St. Joseph Sr. Elizabeth Johnson without even meeting with her."
Also of note, Cahill served as the director of "Catholic" Charities of San Francisco from 2000 to early 2009. In 2008, his organization gave a "Loaves and Fishes" award, complete with a gala award dinner, to George Marcus, a real-estate mogul who donates to Planned Parenthood, and embryonic stem-cell research ballot initiatives.
Pray for the soul and malformed conscious of Brian Cahill.

Correction: change the "or" to "and".
Of course they should be accepted.The ones you want most to be attending Mass are the biggest sinners.On Sunday morning,the sermon should routinely be on the Sixth Commandment.
I guess the question is, "What is the mission of the church"? If it is not to lead sinners to Christ, then what is it? And if it has to compromise God's commandments and Christ's teachings to do so, has it led them to Christ?
If he accept them then the Catholic Church should just go away.
I know the people in the pews at San Francisco’s Catholic churches, and the parents of the parochial school kids.
They certainly don’t think the way this fellow seems to think they do. The vast majority who show up for Sunday Mass in San Francisco are Hispanics and Filipinos who are very conservative and have no problem at all with the Archbishop.
If that guy represents anyone, its a few wealthy liberals among whom he fund-raises, and a few of the clergy.
Now you know why this nitwit is the former director.
“Lovoe the sinner; hate the sin.”
I really don’t think Arcxhbishop Cordileone (Heart of the Lion) will sway from that.
Catholic charities director? Who died and made him pope?
Jesus let followers walk when they couldn’t accept his teachings.
Mr. Cahill is obviously ignorant of the job of the Christian "shepherd". It is not all that different than a regular one. One of the most important duties is to lead his flock AWAY from deadly and pernicious threats to their well being. Homosexual acts are such threats - forbidden by Almighty God who promises judgment - and, if the shepherd truly loves and cares for his flock, he will not look the other way when one of them heads for the edge of a cliff. Apparently, Cahill's idea of a shepherd is one that JOINS his flock as they walk off that cliff.
It appears the guy is saying he hopes the Archbiship won’t try to act too Catholic. (What’s a few lost souls when we can have one big happy worldly congregation.
The Catholic Church is far too “welcoming,” which disqualifies it as a true Church.
Same with any professed “church” of Jesus Christ. He demanded standards. If you didn’t meet them, then don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
