"the spirit of accompanying charity and compassion"

Does this dumb-ass archbishop understand that even HIS comments are unacceptable to the Gaystapo? "Charity and compassion" implies that there is something wrong with homosexuals that we must be charitable and compassionate about, as if they have some sort of illness, but the homosexual position is that there is nothing wrong with them.

Moreover, there was nothing uncharitable about the priest's message; he was simply making an obvious deduction from Church teaching, i.e., that Catholics should not attend an event which celebrates sin and which - moreover - is usually characterized by overt lewdness.

[Hieronymus]

Knowing the Archbishop to some degree, as well as Canada, I can assure you that the Archbishop understands that the only thing that would make the priest’s detractors happy is a head on a platter, but that they just might be satisfied by forcing the priest into retirement.

I think the Archbishop would prefer not having his own head on a platter and not having his priests in the media.

Making national news for a few days and then being silenced forever may or may not be what various people are called to do.
