The controversy over his homosexuality began three months ago,

Why didn't it begin five years ago?

Indeed, why was the guy even hired in the first place, if he had a partner?

It apparently was no secret to the parishioners that he was gay.

Is it just now embarrassing to the diocese that an openly gay man was a music director?

Is it the sin that is the problem, or the fact that he drew attention to himself with his adoption plans?

These are honest questions. Sounds like somebody was looking the other way until they got caught.

Dear sinkspur,

You're right to ask why he got to have his job for five years, assuming that it was known at the time he was hired that he was an active homosexual.

But whatever the reasons are for his being dismissed now, we ought to be grateful for his dismissal, anyway.

Drawing public attention to himself as a "partnered" lavender queen trying to adopt a child while living off the Church's nickel has a name: the sin of scandal. You think this queen walked in off the street, filled out a job application, notified the diocese or parish that he had a "husband" and that they just sat back, kicked off their shoes and said: "Doesn't everyone?" You don't know us very well. This is Doran's turf and AmChurch he is not.

Yeah--but the key phrase regarding your intelligent questions is "temporary Administrator"--Mgr. Kagan, who evidently had a mission to 'clean house.'
