Bishop Skylstad

Quote of the Day: Roman Catholic Bishop William Skylstad of Spokane, Wash.

"There are many wonderful and excellent priests in the church who have a gay orientation, are chaste and celibate, and are very effective ministers of the gospel. Witch hunts and gay bashing have no place in the church."

-- Roman Catholic Bishop William Skylstad of Spokane, Wash., president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, writing in his diocesan newspaper, the Inland Register, about a forthcoming Vatican document about gay men and the priesthood.
