Gay Bishop Attacks Catholic Stand On Homosexuals

The first openly gay Anglican bishop, Gene Robinson, has called for the Roman Catholic church's attitude to homosexuals to be confronted.
The Bishop of New Hampshire said the Vatican's ban on ordaining gay men was "vile", in a speech in London.

(Apparently he doesn't believe 1 Corinthians 5:11  "But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
12  For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?
13  But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.")

He received a standing ovation after his speech, in which he spoke of how he had faced prejudice in his role.

He continued: "I find it so vile that they think they are going to end the child abuse scandal by throwing out homosexuals from seminaries. "It is an act of violence that needs to be confronted."

(Luke 17:2  says, "It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.")
