I think the priest should be more concerned about identifying and removing the pedophile priests within the Catholic church rather than condemning a gay children's book writer.

Who is the priest to publicly judge this man, I thought that was God's job?

Well you thought wrong. God’s jon is to judge your immortal soul as to its worthiness of attaining eternal life. No human being can know for certain whether another human being is justified in the eyes of God.

That, however, is a very different issue than whether human beings can create ethical norms and laws stemming from those norms. Which I hope you’ll agree that they can. This necessarily implies that “judging” will occur quite often. We can try to create a culture that doesn’t judge in this sense. In other words a hyper-tolerant society...perhaps even a society that punishes those that judge even the most base behaviors...kinds like what we have now in The West. Hopefully, I don’t have to try too hard to convince you as to how disasterous that’s been.

Having a flaming homo present his book to Catholic school children is the problem because it tacitly endorses homosexuality and contradicts the goal of providing a proper moral foundation for children. In the Catholic faith, homosexuality is sinful and contrary to natural law and the Bible. Applying that instruction from God and practical wisdom requires keeping homos away from school kids.
