While the Church was busy covering up and hiding members of the Catholic clergy who were responsible for rape and sexual abuse, thus ensuring ensured continued immeasurable mental, emotional and psychological trauma to others, Father Roy was out doing what the Catholic Church should represent.
So yes, the Vatican has officially dismissed Father Roy from the priesthood and from his religious order because of his stand on gender equality. For years he has been consistent in following one single path, that of defending the rights of others, even when this placed his own life and well being in jeopardy. He has never strayed from this path.
This man founded SOA Watch, was a Nobel Prize-nominated Vietnam veteran and a human rights activist. He was and is so much more than just a Catholic Priest. You know, that's not a bad Legacy to leave behind.
