We need to show this courageous priest our support. He already deactivated his twitter after the homosexual lobby attacked him. It’s a shame our bishops are not as courageous.

“Both Pryeor and Laveillee told the media they were upset with the “new young priest” delivering homilies critical of Rhode Island Democratic Governor Lincoln Chaffee and the Democratic Party.

“new young priest” is very good sign all around.

Donna Wuerl revoked the faculties of a visiting priest within his archdiocese who refused Holy Communion to a self-announced practicing buddhist, active lesbian at the lesbian’s mother’s Catholic funeral.

Any other questions like that; try Google.

Is Wuerl the bishop for Rhode Island? I fail to see the relevance.

Start your own article next time rather than hijacking this one because it gives credit to the Catholic Church.

“I just don't want this to be a reflection of the Church as a whole, but rather one ignorant priest.”

It's not the Priest who's ignorant in this scenario. Cafeteria Homosexual Catholics ....... demanding communion no less.

I sure hope the Priest stands firm.

The homosexual lobby will not be satisfied until their “lifestyle” is fully accepted by society and every sacred tradition and institution is defiled.

That has always been their plan. I've said for a very long time that "homosexual marriage" was less about having the same "rights" as heterosexual married couples, and more about tearing down the Church.

I’m praying this is the start of a trend.

OH MY GOD!!. A Catholic priest who takes his vows seriously.
GOD made man and woman differently so that they could marry and procreate; that’s why it’s Adam & Eve, NOT Adam & Steve.

His Facebook supporters have encouraged Pryeor to “fight” the priest’s decision in hopes that the negative publicity will pressure the church to back down and give communion to homosexuals who publicly flout its teachings on homosexuality.

Sounds like a bunch of people who are ignorant of the teachings of the Catholic Church, and I can guarantee you that some of them ARE Catholic.

It amazes me how two people join a club (if one doesn’t think of it as a church) which clearly states the rules before joining and then whines and demands changes to the rules because it doesn’t match their beliefs.

Within the group, you subjugate your beliefs to the agreed-upon doctrine. If you can’t do this, YOU LEAVE. You don’t demand others conform to you.

That’s my whole problem with homosexuals, homosexual rights and homosexual marriage. They are unrepentant about their sin and, in fact, demand others not just tolerate but endorse their sin and then act shocked - SHOCKED - when traditional churches don’t capitulate to them.

Can you imagine if we had Adultery Pride marches and adulterers demanding their rights to have their partnerships recognized as moral and demand their be no condemnation, punishment or discrimination against them?

Most people would find that ridiculous but adultery and homosexuality (and fornication, I might add and even lust) are all the same sin in the eyes of God. We don’t have Adultery Pride marches. We don’t have Shack Up Pride marches. Yet we have Gay Pride marches where they arrogantly assert that their sin is not only not sinful but insist there be no condemnation of it within earshot of them.

If homosexuals humbled themselves and repented of their sin before God and the church, they would find forgiveness and acceptance as others saw their struggles to put Christ before their sinful desires. But they don’t. They demand their sin to be declared not sinful. They insist they are more moral than God and His Scripture doesn’t contain the moral authority to condemn their behavior.

Frankly, any church that does not instantly recognize and preach this should be condemned on the day of judgement. They chose man’s immorality over God’s perfect holiness.

I am, too, a sinner. But I don’t demand God change Himself to accommodate my sinfulness. I try to conform to the perfection God wants of me. Some days I do better than others but I don’t expect God to change for me - which is what the homosexual rights crowd appear to demand.

That sin is sinful and needs condemnation not accommodation - just in case anyone is unclear what I meant above.

If that had happened in the Archdiocese of Washington, D.C., Donna Cardinal Wuerl would have revoked the priest’s faculties to practice within Donna’s Archdiocese.

That's very disturbing. This is what I do not understand about Roman Catholicism. You have a CARDINAL who openly defies Church teaching, and disciplines priests for being orthodox.... and he's not disciplined or removed?
