"We are living in changing times and family too is changing," he said.
"My hope for next year's event is that it will be for all families; for the traditional family, single parents, people in second relationships, people divorced and remarried, people of great faith and no faith, people of other faiths, people who agree with the Church and those who disagree."

So not a Catholic event but a media one.

How does the bishop hold his liquor? By the ears.

Was EXCOMMUNICATION struck from the CATHOLIC RULES BOOK?

Most priests are gay so I don’t see why anyone is surprised by this. Don’t like it? Get some straight, married priests.

Is there no Catholic journalist who would ask this bishop: “How can you say all this without making it seem you approve of homosexual acts? You have never said anything about sinfulness of homosexual acts and the faithful might think these acts are morally acceptable.” What would he answer?

Dr. Leahy said the event in August 2018 in Dublin would be a missed opportunity if the Church did not embrace family in all its variety.
There is a very clear and obvious definition of family. Homosexuals pretending to be family are not. Trying to force people to accept sinful behavior is not going to end well.

My wife and I used to be a gay couple, but there is a lot less to be happy and gay about these days.

This is essentially an official sanction.
The death of the Church is ever closer at hand.
