“Bishop of the Diocese of Grand Rapids has taken action against an openly gay priest.”
Diocese officials deny the recent actions taken by the Bishop have anything to do with Kurylowicz’s same-sex attraction. The action of removing the diocesan faculties means that Fr. Kurylowicz cannot publicly participate in the sacrafice of the Mass as a priest.
In a memo, Bishop Walter Hurley wrote “I have removed the diocesan faculties of Father Martin Kurylowicz to publicly exercise priestly ministry. It is with great reluctance that I have taken such action.”
