CAIRNS, Queensland, Australia (ChurchMilitant.com) - The bishop of the Cairns diocese in Australia is offering the possibility of multiple sexualities, contrary to Church teaching. He has also shown support for a controversial Jesuit priest known for promoting same-sex marriage.

Church Militant reached out to Foley in recent months to ask whether he'd be issuing a statement against pro-gay Jesuit Fr. Frank Brennan, a featured speaker at the Catholic Secondary Principals Australia Conference (CASPA), a gathering of Catholic school principals that took place in mid-July. Brennan has been widely featured in media promoting gay marriage, and Catholics were requesting that Foley speak out against his agenda.

Foley refused, however, telling Church Militant he was "unwilling" and "canonically unable" to deal with Brennan, evading the question whether he could at least issue a public statement warning the faithful about the priest's anti-Catholic positions.
