Perhaps I’m old fashioned, but I’ve always believed Christians and the church should accept the Bible. If my personal preferences disagree with the Bible’s infallible guidance, I’m wrong. If we disagree, I should to the best of my ability follow the Bible and resist any desires that are not compatible with scripture.

But that’s just me. Others seem to think it’s their job to edit the Bible and correct what they see as God’s mistakes.

this is diametrically opposed to the clear Biblical teachings on the subject

as such, this Bishop should be held to answer per the Church’s Canon Law, which provides in part for the removal of church officers who (obstinately, meaning after being informed of their error continue to) deny or publicly advocate against church teachings... See Canon Law Sect. 194

his archbishop needs to give him a ring ASAP...

“It won’t wash with young people...”

Well OK then, now it makes sense. The young people have weighed in.

Bullshit from this Bishop buffoon; a fellow traveler of the schmucks who chose Pope Frankie. Yet the implications of his moral sedition is beyond this horses ass
The 4th, of the Ten Commandments, is a bedrock defining the Moral Order for Man; ordering us to honor the Father and Mother; thereby recognizing the criticality and vitality of the Family Unit as the foundation for the social order of culture and society.
As such, any attitude or behavior which harms the Family, such as abortion, homosexuality, transgenderism; among other psychoses, is anathema and haraam.

Catechism of the Catholic Church

2357 Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the same sex. It has taken a great variety of forms through the centuries and in different cultures. Its psychological genesis remains largely unexplained. Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity, tradition has always declared that "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered." They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved.

It’s time that we address this bigoted, judgmental issue of sin.

Satan will never let up on any of us. That is the message for ALL time, not just this year, this decade or this century. The "bigoted, judgmental issue of sin" has been with humanity since Adam and Eve. It won't go away after the election either...whoever wins.

It’s my belief that some people think of the 10 commandments as the “10 suggestions.” They will meet their Makers someday, who will straighten them out...for eternity.

And yet stubborn "conservative Catholics" will continue to insist that accepting Darwinism and higher criticism had absolutely nothing to do with this!
