To: Its All Over Except ...

“married to a fellow priest”

I thought priests are not allowed to marry, especially not to someone of the same sex.

And this priest was just promoted to bishop?!!!!!!!!!!!!

No. It’s just people pretending to be Catholic.

For the past 1000 years, Catholic priests in the West have overwhelmingly been vowed to celibacy. Though this has not always been so, nor is it even now univeral. (For instance, married Orthodox or Anglican priests who convert to Catholicism, remain married to their wives even if, after becoming Catholic, they serve as Catholic priests.)

However: the Catholic Catechism states that IN NO CASE can same-sex (man/man or woman/woman) relations be justified.

So, the Episcopalian Church is now allowing what the Catholic Church cannot, and will never, allow.
