But so do I.
I agree entirely that his entry into the Church should have been contingent on his giving unqualified assent to all the Church teaches, especially in regard to sexuality. And his parish clearly needs a good, holy priest to take charge of it and straighten it out.
But for some people, believe it or not, this is how the journey begins. Maybe, just maybe, there's an Oscar Wilde ending down the road somewhere.
Hope springs eternal, however besides his openly sinful life, his public sacrilege and blasphemy, he is in error about basic truths of the faith:
"It occurred to me that the main point of the story might not be that Abraham was willing to cut his child’s throat, but that God stopped him from doing it. The story illustrates a God that does not require sacrifice — especially of one’s fullest humanity — in order to prove allegiance. I can let myself live whole, and that includes my sexuality."
It appears that, perhaps out of false charity, that no priest has bothered to correct him. Now he not only endangers his own soul, but is free to spread his errors to others in his parish through the apparent approval of his pastor, and to many readers of this article, endangering countless other souls.
And again, I would like to emphasize that his instructor of the faith, his priest and or bishop, those who ignore the duty they have to correct him, are guilty of far greater evil.
I hope so, he is searching. I just don't know how many props and crutches he will need to fool himself from here on out. I really get the feeling that he is constantly looking for approval from God for his sin. Apparently his conscience is bothering him or he would'nt be reading all that garbage to tell him things he knows is wrong is right. We all need to pray for him because its obvious the Holy Spririt is working on him.
