While I find his letter disturbing, I wonder if this is clear enough for the Trads. I have no doubt they will his judgemental statement "refreshing".

PF's letter does not surprise as much as disappoint me. Without question, he is judging those who would offer their lives in service to God's people. This is not as Christ taught us in the gospels. Excluding those who want to come closer to the Lord is so tragic, not to mention those who are gay and already clerics. To be the cause of this unnecessary hurt is a burden that PF will need to bear.

So unnecessary and hurtful.
