Archbishop reprimands priest for attending same sex wedding
A priest goes to his cousin’s wedding — as a guest– wearing the only clothes he has – cause he’s a PRIEST– and he gets a formal rebuke in his permanent record?
O_O
Meanwhile, back on planet earth, how many priests were accused of child molestation who were silently tranferred to other parishes. GRRRRR.

You know, he did a reading wearing his vestments. If I, say, spoke at one of my church’s (many) immigration protests while wearing my employer’s uniform, I think they would be reasonable in being upset about it. Especially if my employer were, say, ICE. I don’t like the Catholic Church’s policy against gay rights, but the priest knows about it and respecting it is part of being a priest in that Church, no?
If he had just gone as a guest, and/or had done the reading but not wearing the collar, I’d probably feel differently.
