UPDATED - RE: What Father Faucher said...
posted by Mike E.
A protestant friend pointed out to me the Idaho Statesman op-ed written by Fr. Thomas Faucher in support of gay "marriage" last weekend. He asked how a priest could do that. I didn't have a good answer when he asked me (although I suspect Bishop Vasa would have one).
To my dismay, several Catholics defended Fr. Faucher's position. Why "to my dismay"- well, because even my protestant friend knows what the teaching of the Catholic Church is regarding that topic. And it's not what Fr. Faucher wrote.
So, in order that I would have an answer, I read and re-read Father's essay many times. You can find my rather long response to Fr. Faucher here.
Bishop Discoll's contact information at the Diocese can be found here.
UPDATE: Added some contact info, and cleaned up my grammar, sentence structure, and typos

Excellent rebuttal with concrete facts - I was concerned to read that article and then not see or hear any censure or dissent from the Church officials. Thank you for taking the time to make it crystal clear. May God continue to bless your work.
Well thank you very much for the kind words.
I do know that "the Bishops" of which ours is one, have released a statement about this issue, which I will blog on soon.
Mike
