Results: Vatican Dismisses Priest After Coming Out
Published on 10/05/2015
The Vatican dismissed, Monsignor Krzysztof Charamsa, a Polish priest from his Holy See job after he came out as gay. Charamsa followed up his media interviews with a news conference with his partner and gay activist at a restaurant and called for changes in Catholic teachings against homosexual activity. There was also a planned demonstration in front of the Vatican, but it was later cancelled. The Vatican said the dismissal had nothing to do with the priests personal life, but rather the public demonstration.
