Phelps is such an idiot that he only helps the cause of gay civil rights. He's protesting at a funeral in Indy - that's sure to rile up even the moderate rightwingers! And kudos to Fr. Morrison for his courage and leadership. Would that he were pope today!

Fr. Morrison's letter does go to show the exact position of the Church on homoeroticism. It is reinforced by the comments of his bishop, distinguishing between a tendency and acting on that tendency. Socrates did the same. No ultra-Christian attitude here.
