French Catholic priest fired for saying God wants him to get married

Father Gréa, now Mr Gréa, served as a parish priest in central Lyon for six years and increased church attendance by giving mass “a new look”, bringing in a Catholic pop group, Glorious to accompany services.Some members of the congregation burst into tears when the decision was announced and Mr Gréa’s letter was read out by the vicar general, Patrick Rollin, in church on Sunday morning.
