Well, fine, you can make that choice. Mr. Lopez is obviously seeking the approval of men and places that ahead of his relationship with God. He is free to make that choice, but he will pay a high price for choosing poorly.
The Church has so many problems right now that I'm surprised the diocese is embarking on something that's this exclusionary and divisive."
The only problem the church has had in dealing with this issue is a short supply of guts in facing up to the problem of public figures openly defying the teaching of the church. Sounds like they're in the process of addressing that issue.
And they're not "embarking" on anything that hasn't always been part and parcel of Catholic doctrine. They're just trying to do a better job of informing members of the consequences of their choices. So, in that sense, they're practicing a Catholic flavor of "pro-choice", stay in the church and continue to receive the sacraments, or not.
