From Renew America: "...In addition to reporting on the Lynch-Urbanski story, the St. Petersburg Times and the Tampa Tribune were looking into rumors of Bishop Lynch's intimate relationship with bachelor David Herman, a contractor who had moved from Fort Lauderdale to St. Petersburg with Lynch when he was installed as bishop. The two men had vacationed together in Hawaii, San Francisco, Key West, Bermuda, Israel and Rome, sometimes accompanied by Urbanski.
Herman had several things in common with Urbanski, one of them being that both men were triathletes. In March 2000, all three men, that is Herman, Urbanski and Lynch went to West Palm Beach for a weekend. Urbanski said the bishop pressured him to go. When they got to their hotel, Urbanski said that Lynch made him take a steam bath together. Herman, who joined the two men said that Urbanski clearly did not want to be there.
Urbanski said that when Lynch began to make sexual overtures towards him, he tried to avoid the bishop as much as possible. "I tried to avoid him as the years progressed, without him getting mad at me. I couldn't have him mad at me. It was a tough day at work if he was mad at me, yet I couldn't leave. He went as far as to tell me how to wear my hair. If I got my hair cut, he would say, 'Oh, Bill. You need to grow your hair back. It's not a flattering haircut for you.'" He said that when he and Bishop Lynch traveled together the bishop always insisted on sharing rooms, and sometimes appeared naked from the shower...."
Frances will have queers getting married in the Catholic Church before he’s done.
Bishop Lynch. That figures. The one who had to settle a sexual harassment suit against a male employee, the one who forbade priests to visit Terri Schiavo or to protest her killing, the one who put an end to Eucharistic Adoration...wow, he’s really somebody whose thoughts I care about!
I never understood why he wasn’t removed from his position. But both BXVI and JPII were way too cautious in dealing with these people. Francis, on the other hand, has no qualms about removing people who are “too traditional” or “conservative,” although there is usually some other public pretext.
Shameful, completely anti-biblical, anti-Christian and an immoral cowardly acceptance of what God says is an abomination!
Bishop Lynch needs to read again the scripture that tells him to care more about being "approved of by God rather than being approved by man."
And Polygamy.
And Incest
And Adultery.
God judges such acts as an “abomination,” whether the so-called “church” sells out or not.
No. They need truth and love, in that order. “ Love” without truth is really hate.
Speaking as a church going Catholic “gay” marriage is a Mortal SIN! If a bishop indorses it he has committed a Mortal SIN.IF the Pope where to cave in to social pressure and do the same He will face the same judgment, EXCEPT on a bigger scale.
One Church....two bishops with opposing messages.
Not surprisingly, the homosexual activist organization Human Rights Campaign asks.....Which of These Catholic Voices Represents the Church’s Stance on Gay Couples? (Lynch's or Wenski's?)
Which, indeed?
The lavender gang are making their end run, as seen at the recent Extraordinary Synod. A split is coming.
Lynch...it takes one to know one.
and just ignore all those happy couples cruising in gay bars.
not true for most lesbians but that is another story.
Oh no. We wouldn't want to suggest *that*. /s
Someone should tear the inapplicable holy vestments off this guy and leave him standing there in his underwear.
