Organizers said they believe Cuenin is the first Catholic priest to preach at the pride service, which claims to be the longest-running such service in the country.

What we have here is... a failure, to excommunicate!

Couldn't have picked a nicer parade to rain on...

Rain really IS God peeing on you!

Does anyone else think it is extraordinarily low class of Brandeis University to hire as its "chaplain for Catholics" a priest who has been formally removed from his duties?

``the teachings of the Church make it clear that the fundamental human rights of homosexual persons must be defended."

Absolutely true. You have the right to sin; to believe what you wish; to believe that sin is not sin; to disbelieve the Church. And you have the right to not have the door hit you in the ass as you leave the church.

There are plenty of Catholics in Boston right now who engage in the vices of gluttony, both food and alcohol. Why doesn't he join 'em some day in the Norh End?

When I visit the North End and pig-out at some great family Italian restaurant and then waddle over to Hennesy's Pub for some Guinness,(after I have stopped for Pastry at Mike's on Hanover St) how's come the Rev. doesn't come over and preach a bit and pick-up my tab?

With all the attention directed towards the queers, why should our particular vice squads be, so to speak, left behind?

What about the rights of fatties and drunks? How's come it's only politically correct for priests to preach in favor of lust?
