Said priests need to be excommunicated immediately, but it won’t happen.

(*sigh*) Yep...

But his parishioners took it in stride — they gave him a standing ovation

Why am I completely unsurprised? "If you were of the world, the world would love what is its own... [cf. John 15:19]"... just as this blind and selfish crowd did. Applaud the vice of someone else, and it gives one a feeling of entitlement for keeping your own vices (and for being immune from criticism about them).

It's the same nauseating syndrome which made people give a standing ovation to Paul Reubens (a.k.a. "Pee Wee Herman") when he made a return at the MTV music awards, and which made people applaud wildly when David Letterman admitted that he'd sexually used numerous women who worked for him on his show, and which made every last modern western audience applaud wildly whenever anyone even remotely well-known (or on a well-known TV show/movie) "came out" as "gay".

"Oh, we're just showing our support for someone making a courageous admission!", they say. Sure. Mm-hmm. And if someone who's gay comes out and says that they're abandoning the lifestyle and seeking therapy, they'd applaud all the louder (since that takes far more courage, these days)? I really, REALLY don't think so.

Revelation 18

4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

Patrick Fitzthomas and Thomas Fitzpatrick. The Irish have been conquered by most of Europe at one time or another. Now they’ve been conquered by sodomites.

May God burn the country with holy fire, and send it to the bottom of the ocean!

These people are sick, I tell you. Sick!

Sir, do you see why those of us on the other side of the Tiber not trust what Rome says?

If this was an LCMS pastor, some on FR would be trumpeting “The LCMS Just Went GAY!!!” Of course, if he was a LCMS pastor, we would send in the ultimate shock troop to solve the issue. The Ladies Altar Guild.

Still, thank you for posting this. I do not mean to sound like I am attacking you. The position my Catholic cousins are in is very sticky, and only going to get worse till either discipline is enforced or the schism becomes open.

When a man I know moved out of town, he got up in front of his choir and announced he was a homosexual. He did not get a standing ovation. He was kicked out right then. That is the difference between the SBC and Catholics. How in the world can people stay in any religion that allows this?

Priests Are Bucking Catholic Church Leadership to Support Same-Sex Marriage in Ireland

Doesn't look like it to me...Looks like they are following right in line with the Catholic Church leadership...

Let's wait and see how many of them get excommunicated...
