Excuse me. No!

When you say questioning my faith-—that sounds as if I question God or Jesus or what is written in the Bible, especially the Gospels and the Bible. I don’t question any of that. I think you can belong to an organization such a church and you don’t have to agree with absolutely every last policy. I’m a lifelong Republican, but that doesn’t mean I march in lockstep with every whim of the Party leadership. Ditto with the Church. BTW-—no less than Pope Francis himself is on record stating that compulsory clerical celibacy is a discipline of the Church, not a dogma or doctrine of the Church and has further stated that the policy is always subject change. So if you are going to excommunicate me, excommunicate the Pope because I think he is absolutely correct in his analysis of this policy.

Further, I stated in FULL CONTEXT the qualifications required for service in the priesthood by no less than St. Paul himself. So I’m the one in agreement with Pope Francis and St. Paul-—and I am branded questioning my faith.
