Priest is too intense?

I think this shows a little bit of a problem with labeling so many things “mortal sins”. Some of these things on the list ARE mortal sins (:: cough cough abortion cough cough :🙂 and comparing wearing leggings to getting an abortion really cheapens the horror that is abortion.
 
What about men who wear “revealing” clothing made out of lycra for cycling, swimming, weight lifting, rowing etc. Are they sinning too?

What I found illuminating was the open letter by the Archbishop.

This priest has some issues, and they are hardly insignificant; if his behavior is as noted in the letter, one would think that should have been picked up on while he was in seminary.

There is an obvious difference between behavior and recitation of moral theology, but his recitation of moral theology is lacking, and not just in a minor nuanced way. However, with the allegations made as to behavior, it would be of no surprise to me at all if his grasp of moral theology might be skewed also.

I suspect we all have a bit of a tendency to read quickly and not necessarily thoroughly, so this is not intended as criticism, but rather some further observations.
