Nienstedt Should Take the Advice | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: Sadly, the local Church cannot remove a bishop - only the Holy See can. That is, in essence, exactly what is wrong with the modern Church - that it is medieval. The abuse suit is important, but not the only reason for this bishop to resign or be removed. Turning the Church into a platform to hold back the hands of time on gay marriage when the desire for it is.
The anti-marriage movement is, for the most part, distilled in reaction to how badly Catholic hospitals treated gays and their long time companions, is pathetic. Gay couples deserve an apology, not the creation of an organization like the Organization for Marriage. Marriage is created by the couple, including the Gay couple, not the priest who witnesses it. Canon law does not require fecundity - only functionality. A gay couple where both are incapable of sexual pleasure cannot become a marriage, like any other couple. If they can experience it, they can marry. Just because clergy does not like the nature of that pleasure (or pretends not to to save face) is not a reason to persecute gays and lesbians.
