England: monks ordered to leave presbytery after one distributes homophobic leaflets

Story here

From the article:

A group of Catholic hermits have been ordered to leave a presbytery in the Diocese of Northampton – after PinkNews reported on the distribution of a number of extreme anti-gay leaflets.

Over the past year, a string of homophobic leaflets have been delivered across the UK, claiming that AIDS is God’s punishment for gays, homosexuality is linked to paedophilia, and that transgender people should be exorcised.

Isn't hermit-ing all about avoiding the ills of the world?
