Ordinarily I would agree, but if they made their stand on homosexuality public, then the correction needs to be public, because the reputation of the church is at stake.

If it comes down to being feared for standing with scripture verses being loved for watering scripture down. I would rather be feared too.

Then ask them to take their names down. It will be noticed. It's clear that Olmsted is trying to send a message, but this, IMO, is not the way to do it, by slapping the priests you expect to talk up your diocesan fund drive in the fall. What goes around comes around.

As I said, Olmsted is trying to send a message. There are other ways to do that.
