From a story a reader sent me.
Fr. Geoffrey Farrow, former pastor of the St. Paul Newman Center at California State University at Fresno, was removed as pastor in October 2008 for defying church teaching on homosexuality and for condemning Catholic support for Proposition 8, the California Catholic Daily reports.
Not the first time I have seen this typo and it probably won’t be the last. Though you would think the Catholic News Agency would be a little more careful.
The actual story is rather odd about a suspended Catholic priest and homosexual activist who is going after the Knights of Columbus. Maybe he just doesn’t think heterosexuals should be able to wear hats with feathers.

I have seen this priest’s blog and have asked him to cease because he is causing scandal.
This is interesting since I am a former catholic.
As a husband and father who defended his marriage successfully against Catholic Church Tribunals which were determined to nullify our valid marriage, I am bound by the same celibacy requirments that he is and that anyone who is attracted to those of the same sex are, as are those in positions like mine.
I live everyday with the same temptations he does, although mine is for the opposite sex. It is NOT an impossible cross to have.
Although I have defected from the faith, I love the Catholic Church. It is sad when priests turn on it for reasons like this.
Can St. Robert Redford be far behind?
along sawyer’s line, i would write ST PAUL PARISH NEWMAN CENTER.
