Vatican sacks gay priest who came out

THE Vatican has reacted furiously after a Polish priest employed as a senior official publicly declared his homosexuality on the eve of a bishops’ synod set to touch on the divisive issue of the Catholic Church’s relationship to gay believers.

In a statement, a spokesman for Pope Francis said Krzystof Charamsa’s action had been “very serious and irresponsible”, and that the priest would be automatically kicked out of his post as a theologian in the Vatican.
