He was "fired" because he said he was in an active homosexual relationship and that he intended to leave and to marry. And wrote a letter to the Vatican describing his intentions to do so?  What do you call that??

Tell me - how many priests do you know, gay or straight, hold public press announcements claiming they are going to marry - and remain a priest?  Have they changed the rules on marriage?  gay or straight?

No....not just because he said he was a homosexual, no matter how you want to interpret it
