Community members and parishioners held a silent protest in Oxford on Sunday over statements a new priest at St. Mary's Church made about the LGBTQ+ community. In a church bulletin last month, David Doseck called the PRIDE movement "diabolical." On Sunday morning, protestors gathered outside the church saying they want to show their support for the LGBTQ+ community. Organizer Mark Radlinski said "we understand that the Catholic doctrine, what it says about homosexuality, but there are ways to enter a community, there are ways to interact with the community that still stress mutual respect of differences." The Archdiocese of Cincinnati released a statement in response to the protest saying "clearly proclaiming the teachings of Christ and His Church is a primary responsibility of all priests. The constant teaching of the Catholic faith includes love and respect for all our brothers and sisters because they and we are each made in the image and likeness of God. The inherent dignity of every human being does not mean, however, that all behavior is to be condoned. Father David Doseck's pastoral statement is in conformity with Church teaching."
