If these people are outraged over no anal in the Catholic Church, they can go be Lutherans.
There’s already a place for so-called “homosexual Christians.”
A beloved music director at a Michigan catholic church was fired after an unknown source informed church officials of his same-sex marriage — sparking outrage from parishioners, with many protesting and some renouncing their membership over the termination.
Fred Szczepanski was canned from his position at St. Francis Church in Traverse City on Oct. 18 after the church officials discovered he had a same-sex marriage ceremony to his longtime partner in Nevada in 2020, according to Traverse City Record-Eagle.
Szczepanski, known by churchgoers as “Mr. Fred,” was confronted by Rev. Michael Lingaur after church leaders received a letter from an unnamed individual about his marriage.

When confronted, he confirmed the marriage and was informed by Lingaur that his services were no longer needed after serving as the church’s music director for 34 years. Szczepanski was also told he could no longer take communion during worship services.
But he wasn’t kicked out of church.
This is the normal course of action and has always been the course of action.
Following his termination, the Diocese of Gaylord, Michigan, wrote in a statement that Szczepanski’s marriage violates the ministerial agreement condition of his employment.
“A public act of same-sex marriage is a formal recognition that a relationship is more than friendship, and thereby jeopardizes a ministerial agreement for employment,” the Diocese said.
“Marriage is a permanent, faithful and exclusive covenant between one man and one woman.”
However, the firing outraged parishioners, leading to multiple shows of protest in support of Szczepanski.

The longtime music director’s husband, Bill Thompson, has set up a GoFundMe to help cover the costs of insurance, legal fees, and bills.
The Traverse City Record-Eagle reported that Szczepanski declined to comment on whether he planned to file a wrongful termination lawsuit.
This is going to have to come to a head at some point.
The Vatican has been agitating to try to turn the Church totally queer for years now, the Vatican has approved a form of pseudo gay marriage, and most parishes clearly do not want it.
