What makes you think he's gay? (/sarc)
Wow. That website is shocking. I didn't even know the Maryknolls had parishes.

The largest Presbyterian Church (USA) congregation in Arkansas on Sunday elected a homosexual as deacon...
The vote comes one day after the Presbytery of Arkansas voted to remove restrictions on homosexual ordination from the national church's Book of Order...

1 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. 2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, 4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these. 6 For among them are those who enter into households and captivate weak women weighed down with sins, led on by various impulses, 7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
The strong delusion has been sent...and we are in those days...
What about farm animals?
It looks like 2009 might be the Year of the Sexual Pervert.
Oversees the acolyte corps.
That’s a good place to put a gay man. Put him in charge of the altar boys. No possibility of impropriety there, given the link between homosexuality and pedophilia.
No problem at all.
That proves that the congregation isn't real Presbyterian, anyway. You find those in Catholic, Episcopal, and perhaps Methodist churches. Real Presbyterians don't have acolytes and they don't have Bishops (or Executive Presbyters as they're called in the apostate PCUSA).
May God forgive them for their wickedness. I grow tired of these phony Christians. I spit on their ignorant decision to turn away from their own Creator’s values. Gay men may be accepted as church leaders by phony Christians, but they will never be accepted as a leader in a real Christian church.
About 12 years ago I attended a co-workers wedding at a church in Black Diamond, WA. I was totally shocked to see an openly gay and flamboyant priest with sandals, painted nails, painted toe nails, earrings, wild jewelry, and wearing a very non traditional colorful robe. Maybe if this was Seattle or Portland I would have been not so shocked, but Black Diamond is a small rural town. Not saying the guy is not a good Priest, he is still there, so his Parish must like him, but it was quite the shock for me and my conservative values.
Photos of him are on the church web site. He is easy to spot. Bald on top but red curly hair on the side and the same time of cloathing he wore 12 years ago.

Very interesting. I am in the Diocese of Yakima but intend to contact the Archibishop of the Seattle Diocese concerning this “thing” in the Black Diamond parish.
Wait a few years . . . both will be permissible.
Yes, the late Dr. Kennedy was PCA, not PCUSA.
“If you won’t, I will. He’s no Priest of anything remotely Christian. I pity his deluded parishoners.”
I agree...if you’re not going to show any respect towards the bible, why not just have your flock gather in a pool hall every Sunday morning? Churches have (or at had) a very important and respected place in society.

Because their desire is to become like God and, thus, become God. Original sin don’t fall far from the tree.
Do not allow a homo to be in a position of authority over your children...Homosexuals are recruited as children...Remove your children if necessary...
Clearly this queer seeks out positions close to young and adolescant boys...
