YOU'VE GOT TO APPRECIATE THEIR EXUBERANCE...

The Russian Orthodox priest who performed the marriage ceremony for a homosexual couple has had a rude awakening:
A priest has been sacked, his church bulldozed and the wreckage burnt after he allowed the building to be used for a gay marriage last month.

Church officials in Nizhni Novgorod, west Russia, said that the chapel in which the men were married had been destroyed because the marriage ceremony had "desecrated" it.

Father Andriy, spokesman for the Nizhni Novgorod eparchy told the Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper: "Father Vladimir Enert, who married the gay couple, committed a sin in doing so. He desecrated the place. We therefore needed to destroy the chapel."

He added that Vladmir Enert had been defrocked by Russian Orthodox Church officials.

I guess there's no question where the Russian Orthodox Church stands on homosexual "marriage".
