They want to pick and choose which tenents to follow.. demanding preferential treatment in the faith, rather than respecting the teachings of the faith. The Archbishop hasn't stated that gays are unwelcome, rather if they wish to be members of the priesthood, they can not engage in what the church views as a sin. One also has to wonder why gays in the church hierarchy haven't addressed various other sins as well. Such as the racism that exists in the gay community. In California, it's an open wound that is very visible. Gay "activists" like to use the term "civil rights", but fail to respect the civil rights of others. Hypocrites should be exposed.
