Now Bishop Robinson intends to make the Catholic Church his new mission field for this crusade. In a report first confirmed by the Associated Press and later confirmed in numerous Press and Media venues, Bishop Robinson has acknowledged that he led a "confidential retreat" of 75 Roman Catholic Priests in 2005 at which he encouraged their open dissent from the teaching of the Church and their overt disobedience to their vowed celibacy.
His intention now seems to be to take his self styled libertine revolution into the Catholic Church.

The retreat occurred with no approval from any Bishop or religious superior of the men who attended. Among the many suggestions and instructions he gave to the priests in attendance was to tell them, "It's too dangerous for you to come out as gay to your superiors, but I believe that if you work for the ordination of women in your church, you will go a long way toward opening the door for the acceptance of gay priests." |
