A bunch of unabashed liberals who put their beliefs into practice and encouraged all of their students to do so, too.

I was also inspired by Archbishop Raymond Hunthausen of Seattle -- who in the eighties was demoted and made an example of for allowing the LGBT group Dignity to hold Masses in the Cathedral. So it's been a very long, painful wait for someone like Pope Francis to come along. He's not perfect by any means, but I'm having some hope that finally the pendulum might have swung again.
