It amazes me that such people hate gays and women so much that they will go with such a retrograde organization as the Roman Catholic Church.

Will the priest become celibate? I hope so - he deserves that.

In fact, many of the churches where the Anglo Catholic movement was started many years ago are now listed as "gay friendly". Christ Church in New Haven is a good example.

There is no conflict, is there?

I guess they'll annul his marriage, de-legitimize his kids, and he'll stick to alter boys from here on out?


Yay! Bring on the horsemen! 2012 is right around the corner.

This parish could be one of the first in the United States to convert en masse after the Vatican completes plans for a new structure to allow Anglicans to become Catholic while retaining many of their spiritual traditions, like the Book of Common Prayer and married priests.
Maybe this is an opening to make marriage optional for Catholic Priests? It would save the Church a whole lot of money, and mollify the people that are turning away from the Church over these scandals.
