Branded like cattle: Vicar facing possible disciplinary action

Rev Ray Mullen a parish priest in the City of London is facing disciplinary action after suggesting in his blog that gay men should have 

"sodomy can seriously damage you health"

tattooed on they buttocks.

He then went further to say that on their chins should be written the words

"fellatio kills"

Despite there being many closet (and some not so closet) gays in the church, there are many members of the religious community that still display overt homophobic tendencies

I know that the bible condemns same sex relationships, but it also stresses tolerance and treating everyone as equals.

If this vicar feels it is right to label gays, surely he could not appose to having bigot branded on his forehead. After all-that way everyone is being treated the same.

Mullen has however been quick to say that he was only 'joking' with his comments.   Press Association

Actually, he should have "I am a religious hypocrite" stenciled to his collar. The only joke is the Vicar himself.
