4. Anyone who knows Coren (we've met a few times) knows how central Catholicism is to his identity. Yet even he can't accept Church's stance

5. As it happens, first time Coren and I talked it was about a great gay Catholic writer, Oscar Wilde.

6. Coren rightly insisted on Wilde's Catholicism but downplayed gayness. Suggested to me that Wilde was a closet heterosexual.

7. Anyways, Coren has evolved, as many others have. But church remains inflexible. That's a problem.

@kinsellawarren@Pontifex Although interestingly in much of the world, Catholics are as liberal (or more so) on gender/sex than neighbors.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
@kinsellawarren I actually had this argument with Coren once. I said church wasn't just Vatican & priests but the people.
