Unless he was making a confession how did the subject come up?
And did he declare that he was not sorry for enjoying a immoral lifestyle and state that he planned to return to it ASAP?
In which case what did he expect to happen?
from the article:
“According to Plishka, he asked Coelho for Communion and last rites, more commonly called the anointing of the sick. Coelho asked whether he would like to say confession first and Plishka said he began to talk about his history, including his lifelong struggle with his sexuality. Plishka didn’t come out as gay until he was in his 50s.
Then we started talking about the pope, and I said I was so excited about him, because of what he said about gays. I said: "Does that bother you, that I'm gay?" And he said "no", Plishka said.
The conversation was interrupted by someone coming into the room, which he shared with another patient, Plishka recalled. After that, Coelho would not continue with the specific prayers and acts of Communion and anointing, he said. He said, "I will pray with you" but that’s all he'd do. That was it.
I just saw red. I cursed at a priest. I called him a hypocrite. As he was leaving I can't repeat what I said, but it was bad. I'm thinking Iˆ’m going to rot in hell now,ˆ” he said. ˆ“But after that, I became scared, fear settled in. I don’t have the rites, I didn’t get Communion. I believed in the sacraments; this is something we’re taught we need before we die."
So this homosexual asks to see a priest for the last rites. Then he brags about being an unrepentant homosexual. Then he curses at the priest and calls him a hypocrite. Then he calls all the newspapers to attack the priest.
It sounds as though a Confession started, in the course of which the man said he practices sodomy, and has no intention of stopping. The priest was right to leave.
But the priest is bound by the Seal of Confession. He cannot say a word about it to anyone—anything the “unpenitent” said, or even whether he (the priest) heard a Confession.
I won’t be surprised if Cardinal Wuerl finds a way to make the priest’s life miserable. Wuerl refuses to obey Canon 915 with regard to sodomites and promoters of abortion. He obeys Canon 915 when it comes to the divorced-and-illicitly-remarried. And, yes, that is totally inconsistent.
