This one needs to be defrocked and excommunicated.

He’ll probably be a Monsignor by November.

Living in sin? Unrepentant? Scandalous behavior?

Oh, he’s gay. Never mind.

two gays that love each other in modern-day Italy and want to marry

But as a priest, he couldn't marry a woman either.

I now have a partner

So is he making a distinction between "celibacy" (not getting married) and "chastity" (not having sexual relations)?

Either way, as a Catholic, he's not supposed to have sex outside of marriage.

No, he was just fired from his CDF and University appointments. He’s officially unemployed.

By all means, let’s celebrate sin.

God will not be mocked.

Even if being a homosexual was Biblically acceptable (It isn’t) he would still be violating his vows of celibacy. Therefore he is an apostate regardless.

how can anyone..even this knucklehead. construct a statement like HAPPY to be GAY?

It sort of DESTROYS the entire premise of the WORD “gay” as used by these people.

Other threads here in Free Republic said the vatican fired him today. I’m not catholic so I’m not sure if firing him is the same as defrocking and excommunicating him.

What it’s time for is people to stand up for god and leave an evil institution filled with fags and communists en’masse.

Or quit complaining and silently CONTINUE supporting them.

Even more important (IMHO) is that almost nobody seems to be in the position to show and tell him about the love of God. which is not this bedeviled distortion he’s indulging in and in fact rebukes and repudiates it.

With a pope going off the deep end on mountanizing molehills and vice versa, I daresay God is getting pretty irked about the pastoral situation in that segment of Christendom. They wanted a papal system and not a patriarchal or bible-ruled system, enough to split from the Orthodox and want nothing to do with the Protestant. Now with Francis they have to make the best of that “single point of failure.” And unlike in the past, where bad popes could be weathered by local faithfulness, the rot travels VERY quickly, thank modern communication capabilities for that.

I would not be surprised if there was not heavy infiltration of Sodomites into the ranks of Roman clergy. Remember we have just seen a large number of Roman clergy sodomizing boys.

If you cooperate along with the ritual, they usually won’t question where your soul is or try to apply God’s love to try to better your soul. With some exceptions, as always.

It has become an easy place for this kind of evil to hide.

He’s already a monsignor. Maybe he wants bishop.

Not to say that other segments of Christendom don’t also have rotten spots, of course. Where the system rests on men and not on God, that is where the devil can set up little camps.

My mother used to say that homosexuals just simply got into
a bad HABIT, got hooked on it (like ANY bad habit), and now
they’re trying to force it down the throats of people who
believe in the Word of God. Nasty sex is condemned in both
the Old & the New Testaments. End of story. - Having said
that, we all struggle with sin. One sin’s as bad as another.
I just think that waving it in the face of God is the height
of folly. - He needs to get another job. - People should
“love” one another; but anal sex does not have to be a part
of “love”. In fact, to me it seems like the height of
disrespect and the opposite of “love”.
