Bishop Olmsted suspends defiant priest

Get a load of the headline at the Arizona Republic, though: Bishop punishes priest for signing gay-rights letter

The Rev. Andre Boulanger, who is retired, said Friday he got word of the suspension Thursday in a letter from Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted.

Olmsted said the declaration did not fully reflect Catholic teaching, which holds that homosexuals must live a chaste life, and homosexual activity is "intrinsically disordered."

Boulanger responded to that letter with a two-page missive, arguing that church teaching is based on outdated science.

"I've grown accustomed to being the outcast," he said. "This is just one further step."

That's right...He's grown accustomed to be disobedient. Irreversible Church teaching doesn't agree with his ideas...The purging of heretics and dissidents continues in Arizona.
