I think the actions of the Roman Church are damnable, but the Southern Baptist Convention did the same thing a couple of years ago.
This has much deeper implications than one might suppose. This is not just a run of the mill dissident group. The leader Sister Gramick was disciplined by CDF some years back. The discipline included this notice,
“Sister Jeannine Gramick, SSND, and Father Robert Nugent, SDS, are permanently prohibited from any pastoral work involving homosexual persons and are ineligible, for an undetermined period, for any office in their respective religious institutes.”
Then Cardinal Ratzinger, now Pope Emeritus Benedict was head of CDF at the time. So this meeting not only legitimizes this group but disdains the findings of CDF under Pope Francis’ predeceser (sp). It is a great big loogy spat right at the feet of those Catholics who hold to Church teaching on sexuality.
The SBC churches are all independent though
