http://pamshouseblend.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=7908Talk about ironic juxtapositions. First, this revelation is interesting. Openly gay Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson disclosed that he led a private retreat for gay Roman Catholic priests back in 2005. It very secret. Robinson was invited to the forum to screen the excellent documentary that he appeared in -- "For The Bible Tells Me So," and to discuss issues of conflict that he faced coming out.
About 75 Catholic clergy from around the U.S. participated without notifying their bishops or provincial leaders, Robinson said. In 2005, the Vatican issued a document affirming the church's stance that men with "deep-seated" attraction to other men should not be ordained.
