Gay couple ejected from Catholic choir

This story only goes to show how messed up the Catholic Church is over gay issues. It's hard to find as much hypocrisy in any church. This was about a gay couple, Michael Sabatino Jr. and Robert Voorheis, who went to Canada to get married on September 28.

After the New York Times published an announcement of their ceremony on Oct. 5, the two were confronted by Monsignor Edmund Whalen as they entered St. Benedict's Church in Throgs Neck on Sunday.

"He told us he couldn't have us in a public ministry after going public in the newspapers," Sabatino said. "He said, 'I have parishioners who are complaining. They're asking me what I'm going to do about this.' "

When Sabatino and Voorheis asked Whalen for his decision in writing and continued into the church, followed by Sabatino's mother, Whalen told them he would "shut down the choir" rather than allow them to sing in it, Sabatino said.

I don't like to pick on an easy target, but it seems to me that the Catholic Church really has a bigger problem with what it's priests are doing.

Instead of worrying about a couple of gay guys who sing in it's choir, the church really should be worrying about why it let hundreds of kids be molested, and did nothing about it!
