I hope more come out, so they too can be fired.

About time the Church got rid of the Lavender Mafia.

I remember once watching Headline News a long while back. On this particular report was the video of a woman priest (the first for this particular denomination, Episcopal I think) and how there were literally hundreds of “priests” there for this ordination.

Most will know that an ordination need not be so elaborate or have so many people attend, especially of the church hierarchy. The whole church full of “priests” raised a hand and leaned forward on each other and those closest to her laid hands on her, to “ordain!’ Okay...but then it struck me...I’ll speak as if it were those priests...”God said no, but all of us together overcome God and make it what we want!”

Same here...same always with gays in the church. I have zero problem letting them come to my church, party, home, outings and such, but when the homosexual demands that we tell God to go pound sand, they are acting as an enemy of God and should not be allowed to do so openly.

The fact he’s gone public in this act of defiance and hasn’t been relieved says a lot about this Francis’s agenda...

...remember to vote with your pocketbook.

I grew up Catholic. Essentially all of my parish priests were gay. Some of them were "quietly open" about it, some in-your-face. Some "closeted." But they were almost without exception gay. One of my parish priests was defrocked for sexual misconduct. Another did serious prison time. One of my nephews (maybe two) were molested by their parish priests, it is believed. One of my best friends (different diocese) was molested by a priest and has led a stunted life because of it.

I gave up on them years ago. The RCC is clearly incapable of internal reform. The fact that they had this priest in the Vatican in a position relating to doctrine (!) tells you all you need to know. The Lavender Mafia controls the Church from top to bottom. It's controlled the RCC for as long as I had anything to do with the RCC, and I can only imagine that boy love has always been part and parcel of RCC culture going back centuries.

An additional but unstated “demand” being unfettered access to 10 to 12 year old alter boys and indemnity in the event anyone sues for being sodomized.

He has a “partner? “. So his vows meant nothing? The Church isn’t goi g to persecute anyone for being gay - just don’t lie and pretend you are a faithful priest

He’s betrayed his church and flock. typical narcissistic, selfish homo

The Holy See has reacted by firing this priest from his position at the CDF and his teaching jobs.

Good! Defrocking will happen soon, I hope.

I wouldn't say all priests are homosexuals. There was one at my old childhood parish who was convicted of sexually assaulting boys (at another parish) and sentenced to prison. But there was my religion teacher in high school who left the priesthood and ran off to marry a woman.

I would guess that while there is a larger than average pct. of homosexuals in the priesthood than the general population, probably only a small pct. of priests are homosexuals. Ten percent or less. Ten percent is ten percent too much, but it's not like they're all homos.

He was fired. That was handled right.
