Loved receiving this letter:
Dear Father Tony,
My name is Karen. I am writing because you were recommended to me by a friend of mine. I have hit a spiritual crisis. I'll be brief. I am Catholic. I am bi-sexual. I am marrying a transgendered woman. I can't believe I just wrote that. I just wrote that. My family has been Catholic since the 1500's in France. I can't be anything besides Catholic. My greatest fear is that now it will be discovered, not by my family, not by my friends, but by a church. I ceased going to mass when our relationship began almost three years ago almost entirely. I think I've been a total of three times in as many years. I feel torn in half. I sound insane to people. I love God. I love the church. I love this woman. I can't, it seems have my soul and my heart enter a room without colliding....
For the rest of the letter and my response, head over to
Bilerico.

Powerful letter and response! Karen has a very wise friend in suggesting you. Great line "It's not their church, it's your church."
