Subject: RE: BS: NYFD Chaplain
I was raised in the Catholic Church, attended a Boy's only High School that was run by the Basilian Fathers. Many of my beliefs were formed by the Church, but I am not a practicing Catholic because I disagree with several things that are Catholic Law.

Where I think that this is an issue is that the Catholic Church forbids homosexuality. This Priest was breaking that law. I'm not saying I agree with the rule, nor do I agree with not allowing women Priests, not allowing Priests to marry etc. I also don't see the point in Jews not being able to eat pork, but I don't make the rules.

For the record, given all the garbage that is going on with the church these days I can honestly say I have never heard of a single incident at the school I attended. The Basialians were wonderful men.
