I admit I am not disappointed by this decision. I have been familiar with Father Martin for many years. He came to speak at my church, I enjoyed his presentation. I have read two of his early books and liked them very much. I friended/or followed  him on Facebook several years ago, I am not sure but I think when I found him he was not even a "public figure" and I think I "friended" him at the time. I was within the first 1,000 friends (or likes). About 2 years ago I started to feel that what he was saying on facebook was a little "off" perhaps getting heterodox, so I just unfollowed him and stopped reading his writings.  During this controversy I have looked at some of his presentations and, In his presentations, he is now suggesting that the church will eventually accept and even bless gay unions. I feel this is an incorrect reading of doctrine (or the possibility of "doctrinal development") I think CUA made the correct decision.
