Catholic Denied Confirmation for Gay Marriage Stance

(Barnesville, Minnesota)
In the letter, addressed to the parish of Assumption Church at 307 Front St. N., the Rev. Gary LaMoine says “a couple of candidates chose not to enter into full communion with the Catholic community because of their disagreement with the teaching of the Church concerning marriage.”

LaMoine also apologizes in the letter for the actions of 17-year-old Lennon Cihak’s family, who went public Wednesday with their claims that LaMoine denied their son confirmation after he posted a pro same-sex marriage photo on Facebook last month.

“I apologize to the parish for the actions of this family,” LaMoine wrote. “I have personally spent much time talking to them face to face about their unwillingness to accept the teaching of the Church on marriage but to no avail.”
It seems terribly presumptuous to expect confirmation by a church while broadcasting disagreement with its theological doctrine.

If the church burned a few of these infidels at the stake we'd surely see the rest of the flock toe the line in a hurry...

Do not confuse Christianity with Atheism (over 150 million victims last century) or Islam.
