Canceled Mass disappoints

A decision by the Catholic Archdiocese of Boston to stop a Mass celebrating Gay Pride month next weekend was met with a common reaction at yesterday’s pride parade: “It doesn’t surprise me.’’

St. Cecilia Parish in the Back Bay recently announced in its bulletin that it was planning a “liturgy to commemorate Boston Pride 2011’’ on June 19. But on Friday, the archdiocese announced that it was canceling the Mass.

The order, from senior officials of the archdiocese, satisfied some local Catholic bloggers who criticized what they saw as a parish condoning homosexuality. It also outraged some gay Catholics.

At the parade, news of the decision frustrated some who marched in the parade or watched it, including Bishop V. Gene Robinson of New Hampshire, widely known for sparking controversy as the first openly gay bishop in the Episcopal Church.

How a gay person can remain Catholic is beyond me. Talk about faith.
