PASTOR REMOVES POPE'S PICTURE FOR FEAR OF OFFENDING LGBT MEMBERS

PASTOR REMOVES POPE'S PICTURE FOR FEAR OF OFFENDING LGBT MEMBERS


Rev. Brian Costello, pastor of Most Holy Redeemer Roman Catholic parish in San Francisco, wrote in his March 3rd church bulletin that he decided to remove a picture of now-Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI in order not to offend members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered (LGBT) community.
Father Costello wrote in his bulletin:
Two weeks ago, after Pope Benedict XVI had announced to the world that he would be resigning the office of Peter as of February 28th, I put the Pope’s picture, that usually hangs in the rectory, in the church.
