Suppose tomorrow you discovered a member of your congregation was a sexually active homosexual, say they had been with a same sex partner for 10+ years on the quiet.
I’ve seen individuals like this before, who like a Catholic who uses condoms buys into several other areas of faith but denies one or several others.
What would you do, or rather what would your priest do? I’ve seen a few reactions here, everything from “you’re fired” (I took over from an outed lesbian) to “who cares?”.
What would be the best path of action, attempts to convert, barring them from the Eucharist (I presume they might be in a state of invincible ignorance, after all why would they do it if they thought it really was a sin?). What course of action is taken, because I missed the “begone sinner” episode before I took my job (this establishment is known for rather extreme positions and I’m aware this is not normal behavior in this country) and I don’t really think liberal Western European and Scandanavian minoirty Catholics were really the most representative examples of Catholic practice. in this respect.
