Pope Fire Gay Priest by HrmOlolade(m): 7:37am On Oct 05, 2015 |
The Vatican, on Saturday, fired a senior priest,
Krzysztof Charamsa, who publicly came out as
gay on the eve of a major meeting of church
leaders to discuss the Church’s stance on social
issues such as divorce and homosexuality.
A statement by a spokesman for Pope Francis
described the Polish priest’s action as “very
serious and irresponsible,” adding that he would
be immediately sacked from his post as a
theologian in the Vatican.
The statement read, “The decision to make such
a pointed statement on the eve of the opening of
the synod appears very serious and irresponsible,
since it aims to subject the synod assembly to
undue media pressure.”
Charamsa, who is a mid-level official in the
Vatican bureaucracy’s dealing with church
doctrine, flanked by his Spanish boyfriend while
donning his priest’s collar, on Saturday, had
earlier told a news conference in Rome that he
was compelled to speak out against the
“hypocrisy and paranoia” that he said had shaped
the Church’s attitude to sexual minorities.
The 43-year-old priest said, “I’m out of the
closet, and I’m very happy about that. I want to
be an advocate for all sexual minorities and their
families who have suffered in silence.”
He presented a 10-point “liberation manifesto”
against “institutionalised homophobia in the
Church,” which he said particularly oppressed
the gay men who, according to him, make up the
majority of priests.
He also revealed plans for a book about his 12
years at the heart of a Vatican bureaucracy, only
just recovering from a scandal under previous
Pope Benedict XVI over the influence of a “gay
lobby” among senior clergy. |
