In his new book “A Pilgrim in a Pilgrim Church: Memoirs of a Catholic Archbishop,” former Milwaukee Archbishop Rembert Weakland writes about being gay: From the AP:
A Roman Catholic archbishop who resigned in 2002 over a sex and financial scandal involving a man has written a memoir that describes how he struggled with being gay.
Archbishop Rembert Weakland, former head of the Milwaukee archdiocese, “is up front about his homosexuality in a church that preferred to ignore gays,” Publisher’s Weekly wrote in a review Monday.
The Vatican says that men with “deep-seated” attraction to other men should not be ordained.
Weakland stepped down as Archbishop in 2002 after a former theology student revealed that he was paid $450,000 to settle a sexual assault claim he made against the archbishop more than two decades earlier — the payout came from the archdiocese.
