Québec Priests Speak Out

Nineteen priests challenge the Vatican and their own bishops on homosexuals in the priesthood and gay civil rights. (See the original Letter, in French)

Not surprisingly, there are concerted efforts to quell such public discussion of this significant issue in the life of the Church. Forgetting that real Authority comes not from position or office, but rather from the Truth that one speaks (Matt. 7:29), such efforts condemn these priests as "dissenters" and encourage others afraid of such discussion to contact Church leaders. For some, the comfort of complacency is less scary the challenge of the truth.

To demonstrate support for these priests (and all others who have the courage "speak truth to power") and to encourage the continuation of dialogue in the Church, contact the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith:
