"A gay sexual orientation only adds an ability to serve a wider group of people," Fazio said, adding that many people who are gay feel alienated by government, families and church. "I think (the bishop's column) was very much needed."
Oh, brother! So, following that logic, if one is a pedophile priest, an even wider group of people can be reached, no? Does one need to be a thief, or a murderer, or an adulterer or a homosexual to "serve" the people afflicted with the propensity for these sins? Of course not.
This Jamie Fazio character needs some SERIOUS remedial catechesis! How on earth is he a campus minister at Nazareth College and a "pastoral associate" at a Rochester parish? It's bad enough that he's a layman filling these rolls - sort of makes the vocations crisis under Clark really hit home - but, as a person responsible, to some degree, for the souls to whom he "ministers," his outlook is spiritual poison for everyone within earshot of him.
Oops! rolls=roles. Heh, heh!

Don't ya know silly?
Fazio probably has a certificate from St. Bernard's that makes him more knowledgeable than you.
You too could go to St. Bernard's and become more enlightened than the pope!
