The bishop knew about it but did NOTHING until it somehow got to be a liability for them and then he had to dump my friend and go for "counseling" for his "problem" before he could be reassigned to a parish further away.

Thanks for adding the disclaimer. I have NOTHING to disagree with because I have my own personal stories regarding this, but it is important to be reminded that we can express our opinions here without judgment or anger toward one another, accepting that differences are okay. So thanks for noting that, fw.
Religion and politics can be touchy subjects. It would be NOTHING but wonderful if we could set an example that one can talk about these topics in a respectful and dignified manner.
And as I just now see tomwed's post following yours, a little levity along the way is always helpful......
