Bishop Paprocki's unhinged decree on same-sex marriage

From the article:

"Bishop Thomas Paprocki of Springfield, Illinois, should be sacked. He issued a decree last week setting guidelines and limits for how the pastors in his diocese treat people in same-sex marriages. The decree is so completely at odds with the direction Pope Francis is trying to take the church........... it warrants the extreme sanction of removal from office proposed in the motu proprio, Come una madre amorevole."

No it's not.

Frankie himself has said that marriage equality is from Satan.

Sad that this is how this man thinks about us but I am not surprised.
