Why wait ... they have been repeatedly warned. Shut them down.
I don’t understand, isn’t it a hierchial system. Why excommunicate the entire parish instead of just change the leadership and excommunicate the errant priest.
(just my Southern Baptist opinion)

This guy sounds like he deserves excommunication based on the invalid baptisms alone. However, “openly gives communion to gays” seems a funny charge. Being homosexual is not a sin, but a disorder. It is only homosexual activity that is sinful, and if engaged in with full knowledge of its sinfulness and consent, would be a mortal sin. Therefore, withholding communion would not necessarily be appropriate for someone who was apparently or claimed to “be gay” unless, as with the rainbow sashers, individuals were publicly and unrepentantly dissenting from Church teaching on homosexuality.
Father Kennedy, 71, who has refused all media interviews until the weekend, said he was making a stand on behalf of what he called "recovering Catholics".
If I join the Catholic Faith, then consider me a resurgent Catholic! One who sees the value in holding on to at least SOME traditions.
If a homosexual is not having sex, can they receive the sacraments?
“Father Kennedy said the practices at St Mary’s had evolved over the years from the community. He strongly criticised what he called the hierarchical approach of the Vatican in dictating what should be said in every parish in the world.”
Idiot, what part of Caholic Church don’t you understand?
