After all, they have been covering up for their acts and moving them from one unsuspecting parish to another for years.
Here we go again. Now will the Vatican call this guy out and say, no that is not what we said? The biggest problem that I have with the Catholic Church (and I am Catholic) is they do not reign in their own bishops. It was the same thing during the 2004 election when the Vatican said that politicians who are pro-abortion are to be refused communion and the bishop in Boston said he would give it to them anyway. This wishy washy behavior is what is angering most Catholics, myself include.
I went to www.usccb.org and read the response. It fully supports the Vatican's Congregation of Catholic Education's statement. In the response a distinction is made between homosexual tendency and homosexual inclination. No where does the Bishop say that the US bishops will not go by the Vatican policy. Please remember that SF Gate is not the best source to get news of the Catholic Church.
