Oy vey. Here we go. There are many ways for a married man to serve God in the Church. Being a priest is NOT one of them. He can be a deacon, a counselor, head a ministry, work with a school system, be a director of religious education, work for catholic charities and on and on. The one thing a married man cannot be is a priest. If you are called to marriage, then you are not called to the priesthood in a Roman Catholic Church. He could even become orthodox and marry. Roman Catholics view marriage as a vocation. We also view the priesthood as a vocation. One cannot have 2 vocations. So tired of jenkinist/cutie Catholic priests. Either you are for us or against us; choose.
I wouldn’t trust him as a husband, either. A person who doesn’t care about his vows is just that.

I am a little surprised the liberal Boston Globe isn’t denouncing this priest for being a homophobe (he wants to marry a woman instead of “marrying” another man). And surely the left will denounce him for being a potential “breeder” who will destroy the environment. And if the woman he wants to marry is attractive, he could be accused of “lookism.” The usual people who agitate for identity politics seem to be asleep at the wheel in this instance.
(1 Tim 4:1- NKJV) “Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times SOME WILL DEPART FROM THE FAITH, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, FORBIDDING TO MARRY, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.”
This article fails to mention the numerous other women that have come forward claiming he had sexual relations with them also. He denies the charges, but since he has been breaking his vows and admits this relationship only after proof comes out, I doubt his words.
