Bp Paprocki's Exorcism | National Catholic Reporter

Bp Paprocki's Exorcism | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: The bishop is acting out of fear - not fear that Catholics will get civil same sex unions, but that they and their families will demand such unions in the Church.  He also fears that a largely gay clergy will quietly comply - and might even request such a right for themselves - or else that they might leave the clergy to get married (or not join in the first place).  He is right to be afraid.  This issue came about because Catholic hospitals were notoriously badly behaved in denying familial access to long time companions rather than recognizing them as next of kin - often enlisting the families in working for a death bed renunciation of the relationship when no such renunciation is required for the sick or dying person to be fine with God.  It is never a sin to love.  Of course, if the Church recognized this, it would be admitting error - and every bishop greatly fears doing that.
