I remember when I lived in the US when our diocese paper took the homosexual’s part in the kerfuffle. I wrote them a letter pointing out that the parade was in celebration of the freedom of the Irish catholics to worship in freedom, and that by mandating groups opposing Catholicism to join in was the exact opposite of what was being celebrated.
They printed the letter, but I wasn’t too popular in that diocese.
Need I add that the bishop was gay friendly (He bragged in the diocese newspaper that he had removed all problem priests, but that was false: I had a nurse cry on my shoulder that her husband had been asked to intervene and stop a lawsuit against a nice young priest who had molested a twelve year old)
How bad was it? Well, when our church lost a young priest, the pastor’s only comment was: well, at least he ran away with a female catechist.

What happened to the Bishop? Is he still a bishop after all these? The man ought to be defrocked.
