Yet again, my daily excursion through Yahoo news has provided me with a blog post. This article deals with a Brazilian priest that has been excommunicated by the Catholic Church for possessing views seen as too liberal. Father Roberto Francisco Daniel, aka "Padre Beto," was accused of heresy and schism after "betraying the promise of fealty to the church." Evidently, Father Roberto had defended homosexuality and open marriage in several online videos. Seen by some as a "rebel son" who habitually "crosses the line," Daniel did not seem to be that upset about his excommunication. On the contrary, he stated that "I feel honored to belong to the long list of people who have been murdered and burned alive for thinking and searching for knowledge."
