The homosex activist and climate scaremonger Daniel Horan, 40, a scandal-plagued Franciscan priest, has left his order and abandoned the priesthood.
He is currently the director of the Center for the Study of "Spirituality", a professor of Philosophy, Religious Studies, and Theology at Saint Mary's College in Notre Dame, Indiana, and a columnist for National Catholic Reporter.

That he repents and comes to the truth. And walks with the Lord.
