Time for more than "Fraternal Correction"?

Quebec priests challenge same-sex stand

MONTREAL -- In an unusual public dissent with their leaders, 19 Quebec Roman Catholic priests published yesterday an open letter taking issue with the church's opposition to both same-sex marriage and the ordination of active gays into the priesthood.

Does the church "have the last word on the mysteries of political, social, family and sexual life?" the 980-word letter asks. "In these matters, the official teaching of the Church has shown itself more than once to be wrong."
. . .
Disputing the Vatican's position that homosexual acts are "intrinsically immoral and contrary to the natural law," the letter notes that humans have endlessly strived throughout history to redefine what is natural to them.

All throughout history since the fall of man through Adam, man has been attempting, with Satan's encouragement, to "redfine" virtue and vice. The fact that these priests have openly opposed the Church's teaching demands swift and resolute punishment in an equally open manner so as to mitigate and repair the grave scandal these priests have given.

As always, we cannot forget to pray for the conversion of these priests and others who may have been adversely affected by their open defiance of Church teaching.
