Catholycs for Equality are Not Catholic

After receiving a letter from the group Catholics for Equality urging a change to the “Don't Ask, Don't Tell” policy, the Archbishop for Military Services responded, saying that the archdiocese's position is “clear.” The prelate added that the group “cannot be legitimately recognized as Catholic.”

Catholics for Equality had requested a meeting with Archbishop for the Military Services Timothy Broglio, claiming he offered misleading and false arguments in his June 1 statement against allowing open homosexuals to serve in the U.S. military.

Thank you Archbishop Broglio.

I myself received a mass mailing from them to my awashingtondccatholic@gmail.com account, asking for support and money.

One of the names on the email was the Rev. Joseph Palacios. Again, I publicly ask: Does he have faculties in this Archdiocese? If yes, then why? If not, and he celebrates the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, why does not the diocese put a stop to it?

Should not part of the New Evangelization be geared towards ensuring that the faithful are not lead astray?

Georgetown University and Catholics for Equality

The Cardinal Newman Society reports about Catholics (it really should be Catholycs) for Equality, an organization made up of catholycs who support same sex marriages, attempt to show that the Catholic Church is wrong on this issue, and that catholycs do support this issue (and to sway others). I wrote about this a few weeks ago.

One of the founders is a Rev. Joseph Palacios, who is also an assistant professor at Georgetown. He admits he is gay and has challenged the Church on the issue of gay marriage for many years.

So, my question is this: Has the Archdiocese granted him faculties? If yes, why have they not revoked his faculties?

If anyone knows the answer to these questions, please comment or write to me.

Note: Faculties means he is allowed to hear confession, offer Mass, etc. in an Archdiocese/Diocese.
