Music minister in Rhode Island fired....

New priest comes in.  What had been a quiet acceptance of a gay music minister then becomes a mess.  The priest fires the music minister on learning he is in a legal gay marriage, another employee then quits, lay ministers then resign, and dozens of parishioners quit, including many other LGBT Catholics who thought they had a faith home.

I would think the new priest would consider how the rest of the faithful of the parish were dealing with the music minister.  But, then, that would mean the new priest would care what they thought.  And, of course, it is THAT Bishop Tobin.

There was a choice.  Imagine the priest not firing the gay music minister and preaching on acceptance of all because all are sinners.  No one measures up - certainly not the goody-two-shoes who thought to out the music director.  Why reward that person, who, despite his/her many virtues, is also a sinner?  Doesn't the music director also have other virtues?
