Priest shocks flock by leaving wife for younger man
NY Post ^ | 7/26/15 | Julie Kay and Isabel Vincent

An Episcopal priest shocked his Queens congregation recently when he left his wife and married someone else — a much younger man.

The Rev. Juan Andres Quevedo-Bosch, 59, the archdeacon of Queens and rector of the Church of the Redeemer in Astoria, announced over Facebook last week that he got married in a Los Angeles church.

The Cuban-born prelate was pictured on a beach with the caption: “I’m in Miami Beach with my new husband. God is good.”

One churchgoer said many parishioners severed ties to the church after Quevedo-Bosch came out as gay at the pulpit a month ago.

“Most of the people aren’t coming anymore,” the elderly woman said. “Because he’s homosexual, people have stopped coming.”

But she said Quevedo-Bosch also has supporters among his flock at the church, which holds Spanish-language services for a largely Hispanic congregation.

Actually, it looks like he waited until his retirement fund was fully funded.

Hope his ex-wife gets tested for std’s. Gay men on the down low tend to passon such diseases to their spouses.

He really meant it.

There are some on FR who claim that men are driven to have sex with other men because their wives are not sufficiently focused on genital gratification of whatever kind the man wants.

The degree to which the church members have say in selecting their pastor depends on the form of church government they follow.

Sadly, I doubt very seriously that this shocks anyone in that church.

God is good for not turning him into a pillar of salt. He obviously reads a different Bible than I do.

I was raised in the Episcopal church. In the only nightmare I have ever had, I found the gates of hell by going through a labyrinth inside the Episcopal church, They are wretchedly dead to me.

I, right now, think the current United Statist Gaypalooza won't last long. Historically long. It may take a few years but it will crash badly.

Interesting link - couldn't get through the entire essay, (a little too graphic).
Yes, a large percentage of homosexuals were molested as children - not sure what the point of the link was....
