The openly gay reverend of an Episcopal church in Scotland has hit back at anti-gay Catholic leaders.
The Very Reverend Kelvin Holdsworth, Provost of the Episcopal Cathedral Church of St Mary the Virgin, said he was “embarrassed” by the remarks of faith leaders on gay marriage.
The Times reports he said: “The behaviour of our brothers, the Roman Catholic bishops in recent days, has been so unpleasant and so ill-judged that it risks harming the good influence of the whole Christian community.
“To behave as though bishops carry some kind of block vote to Holyrood, to threaten politicians and to decry those who want access to the dignity of marriage as unnatural, to say these things seems to me to go too far.” MORE
