• I assume he'll be calling himself "former Italian Catholic priest" pretty soon.

• Love the sinner, hate the sin.

  Pope Benny

• What does his mother think?

• He has gay face for days

• Hellfire and damnation! Repent!

  Or%20is%20that%20a%20baptist%20thing%3F

• Haaaay, Miz Don Mario Theeng!

• He declared his sexuality on Coming Out Day, Oct. 11. Damn, I didn't even know that Coming Out Day had gone by this year. Is John Travolta still in the closet? It's the second LGBT-related shakeup to take place in or around the Catholic church in recent weeks. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer reported that 63 former Roman Catholic priests would publicly back Referendum 74, which would make Washington the seventh U.S. state to legalize same-sex marriage, on Oct. 11.

• A gay priest - WTF!? What's next gay monks, nurses, flight attendants and Republicans?
