Why Doesn't He Just Start His Own Church?


"A week ago, Father Geoffrey Farrow stood before his Roman Catholic parishioners in Fresno and delivered a sermon that placed him squarely at odds with his church over gay marriage.

With Proposition 8 on the November ballot, and his own bishop urging Central Valley priests to support its definition of traditional marriage, Farrow told congregants he felt obligated to break 'a numbing silence' about church prejudice against homosexuals."

LA Times

First we should say, "What a fool, putting his livelihood on the line for the sake of conscience?"

That's the think thing about being Catholic, you kinda' have to live as if your theological convictions matter.

Crazy, no?

Also kind of sits in a weird opposition to the previous post.

ed.-Idiot. Thing! Thing!
