Quebec priests challenge the Vatican – good for them!

A group of Roman-Catholic priests from Quebec have challenged the church’s opposition to same-sex marriage and actively gay priests in an open letter published yesterday.

I’m happy to see this group from Quebec promoting tolerance and inclusion – something that our society needs.

Have a read of this artcle in the Globe and Mail, “Quebec priests challenge same-sex stand”.

Excerpt from Globe and Mail article:

The letter also criticizes the Canadian bishops’ presentation to Parliament that opposed Bill C-38 on same-sex marriage. “Was there any trace of the compassion that marked Jesus’s passage on Earth? Not a paragraph, not a sentence in your brief that takes into account the historical discrimination against homosexuals and the tragedy of their social and ecclesial exclusion.”

We watched an exciting match-up yesterday afternoon at UBC. UBC vs Uvic in their third game of a best of three series. The game went to the wire, with both teams tied at the end of the second-half. UBC dominated OT, winning 74-66 in the end.

Check out UBC’s next game at the Canada West Final Four at UBC on Friday, March 3 at 8pm. The UBC women will be playing at 6pm on Friday so plan on watching both games.
