For almost a decade, I’ve been a Parishoner at St. Anthony’s Roman Catholic Church in Oceanside, New York — serving as a religious education instructor, lector, altar server, visitation minister for homebound members, as well as member of the Consolation Ministry. But after David and I got married, the Roman Catholic bishop forced our priest to strip me of all of my roles and responsibilities, just for marrying the man I love.
This rejection hurts my husband and me terribly, and sends a dangerous message to gay people of faith everywhere. It hurts the ministries of St. Anthony’s parish where I was so active. It also conflicts with some of the words of welcome used by church leaders over the past few weeks. That’s why I’m asking Cardinal Timothy Dolan to break bread with my husband and me, so he can learn about my family, and perhaps reconcile the disconnect between the church’s actions and words.
Not that I doubt he is very deserving, but if the nominators can be:
Members of national assemblies and governments of states
Members of international courts
University rectors; professors of social sciences, history, philosophy, law and theology; directors of peace research institutes and foreign policy institutes
Shouldn’t it be relatively easy to get him nominated?
