Leftist Bp. Mario Grech departs from Church teaching
GOZO, Malta (ChurchMilitant.com) - A heterodox Maltese prelate is hailing "new rights" extended to same-sex couples under his watch.
In an interview with Television Malta Tuesday, Bp. Mario Grech of Gozo welcomed gay unions "with satisfaction," arguing partners "have the right not to be judged."
The bishop's pro-gay sentiments are part of a larger pattern. New Ways Ministry — a group that has been condemned repeatedly by the Vatican and the U.S. bishops for its dissent from Church teaching on homosexuality — praises Grech and fellow Maltese prelate Abp. Charles Scicluna, saying they "have fairly good records on LGBT issues."
The pro-gay group noted that Bp. Grech was more inclusive of gays at the 2014 Vatican Synod and in a 2015 interview, affirming gay couples, "This year the synod said that families who have homosexual members need to be supported, their decisions respected and not hindered in any way."
Asked if same-sex couples will be allowed to accompany their children to Holy Communion, Grech answered, "Yes."
The bishop's pro-gay statements dovetail with his broader views on human sexuality, as reflected by his interpretation of Pope Francis' controversial apostolic exhortation Amoris Laetitia.

Unions?
Like ‘The International Brotherhood of Turd Burglars’ Local 19?
My guess AAAAHHHHOOOOOGAH! is that Bishop Grech has been involved in some gay unions of his own.
Malta. That is where John Roberts ran after his vote to support Obamacare.
Isn’t that where he vacations with his buddies?
well isn’t that special ... bless his heart ..
“the right not to be judged.”
There is no such right. I’m guessing this guy is a homosexual since this fantasy is something you hear from them.
