Homosexual clergy in the Catholic Church

Perspective: A few Roman Catholic priests around the world have mustered up the courage to break through the wall of silence and speak the truth about their sexual identity. Today, I stand with these few courageous priests who have taken the risk to come out of the shadows and have chosen to live in truth and authenticity. 

Fr. Greg Greiten was halfway through his homily, during which he shared that he is a gay, celibate priest, when a woman rose from her pew and shouted, “God bless you, Father!” The rest of the congregation at St. Bernadette Parish, where Greiten is pastor, responded with applause.
