Finally some good news, the ArchBishop did the right thing dismissing the guy, and the Government should stay out of it, people are saying, clean the Church up and when it does, look what happens, still get into trouble, but I am pleased the ArchBishop did this

I hope everything goes well for the good archbishop. The act is criminal. He's not beating anyone or robbing them. He's the leader of a religion that makes very specific demands of its clergy. One of these is that they be celibate, and more specifically, it condemns homosexual acts even further. The fellow was involved in a ROBBERY according to the article as well. Shall we allow robbers to become ministers just because they like to kiss the same gender? If so, then we'll see a lot of career changes.
When it comes to religion, if you really believe in freedom, then let them do what they want as long as they don't injure, kill, rob (like our dear gay fellow), or do other such things. If you don't believe what a religion says, then you're free to go somewhere else. Interestingly, he decided to do just that (and sue simultaneously).
It's amazing how, in the name of tolerance and religion, people feel they have the right to meddle in the affairs of other folks faith. Let the man have his freedom. Let the Roman Catholic Church have its freedom. If he wants to be a member of their club, then he should play by their rules.

So what?
I love that fact that those who support the GLBT agenda have no clue that the natural logical conclusion for their line of reasoning is that eventually they will also have to confess that pedophiles have been born 'that way', and should also be allowed to express their 'god-given' sexuality.
If anyone gay or lesbian denies this, then their entire, 'born this way' argument falls apart.

That is a violation of freedom of religion. Governments should not be able to impose what a church teaches and what person they accept as clergy.

Yes.
Homosexuals don't want Christians to impose their beliefs on them.
They have no qualms however about imposing their beliefs on us.
