The leader of a Minneapolis Roman Catholic church known for its support of gay and lesbian issues said he would comply with an order from the Vatican to remove gay pride material from the church Web site.

And rightly so. The extremist ideology of "gay pride" is antithetical to the Catholic faith and it is unfair for Church officials to impose this heresy on the faithful. Those with same sex attraction are called to chastity.
Why don't the Catholics just remove these churches from their association? I don't get it.
Oooooo!
I wonder if Cleveland will be next?
good! Rome does act -but people must inform Rome...
This rush to attract parishoners by lowering standards is destroying our communities, our families, and our respect for standards.
Good...now they should remove the priest's sacred faculties. He should be either laicized or removed from any pastoral position, forever. He gives scandal to the faithful.
We don't set Churches free to go off and do whatsoever they will.
If this Priest disagrees with the Church, he is free to leave. He can't take the building with him, nor the congregation and parish bank account.
I can understand the property stuff. I was trying to say why don't they kick the guy out? Removing the stuff off a web page is the least they could have him do. They need to take him out of the church completely....along with any members who hold his view.

Some folks in the past, enjoyed calling the Star Tribune the Red Star or Star And Sickle but your doing a great disservice to the readers here and I hope it is an honest mistake, and as I said I hope it is an honest mistake
Perhaps I am mistaken, maybe the two papers have merged and I am in error; the Strib as it is called for short may borrow from Twin Cities.com at times.
The Star Tribune is www.startribune.com ; did you do that to see if someone would catch it?
The St. Paul Pioneer Press is at http://www.twincities.com/mld/twincities/news/10041697.htm?1c ; And as written here over the weekend, the St. Paul Pioneer Press has endorsed President Bush !
However, in these Free Republic threads there is another one of the same story by the Strib of which I could not find because the adequate keywords are not always used. The Pioneer Press too, has a column by a fairly good talk show host named Joe Soucheray who I would say has a conservative well rounded view of things (research Garage Logic for more).
There are probably over a hundred Catholic Churches in the St. Paul/Minneapolis archdiocese alone, in fact in one place in St. Paul and Minneapolis too, there may be 3 within a mile of each other because back in the old days, the Germans had their own, the Poles had their own, etc. This may have had to do with what languages these people spoke I don't know.
So, I have attended St. Joan of Arc in the past. Guitar masses can have their merits and I am only saying maybe that is one out of a few Masses they say. I've seen people bring in their latte or whatever during Mass. That is wrong but anyway I've always gotten the impression that maybe St. Joan of Arc preaches and comforts to some elemements that are on the fringe. That does not make it right, depending on the circumstances, I'm just calling it as I see it. I haven't returned there because it is not in my area.
