Do you think the BBC or British are preaching to you? This is just a news item, not a sermon.

First I am neither Catholic nor particularly religious. My point was that given the British attitudes on both homosexuality and drug use, the logical conclusion would be that they would support this US priest in his "enlightened" views. However; that puts the BBC in the position of defending someone involved in religion and they sure as hell can't do that. It is the true Hobson choice for that bastion of "tolerance" across the pond.

The reference to ‘British Attitudes’ is a rather sweeping statement. British attitudes, on many subjects, are not as shallow or single minded as you seem to think. May be your beef is with the media. Defending this person would be indefensible, not even the godless, evil BBC could justify it.

BTW, I am neither Catholic nor particularly religious either.
