The Vatican’s ban on gay priests has come under fire from gay Catholic organisations, and seen at least one US priest quit his post.
The Reverend Leonard Walker, from the Queen of Peace church in Arizona, resigned because he no longer felt comfortable “wearing the uniform” of the priesthood.
“It’s like a Jew wearing a Nazi uniform,” Walker said. “I could no longer stay in that institution with any amount of integrity.”
Debbie Weill, executive director of Dignity USA, a gay and lesbian Catholic group, said the Vatican was using gay people as scapegoats.
