Changes to Michael C. Barber
Hi, I undid your change to Michael C. Barber because it made the article more confusing and seemed to contradict the source. If you believe the text does need to be changed, you will need to provide your own sources to back your points up. I recommend discussing at Talk:Michael C. Barber to achieve consensus.

Hi RA0808, Thanks for helping with my edits. I am new to this and still figuring out how to make edits. I was a parishioner at Newman Hall (graduate student at UC Berkeley) when Michael Barber reassigned the "two gay priests", and I followed the incident both in the media and at the church. I knew both priests personally and was also present when Fr Bill Edens (one of the priests alluded to) stated during evening masses that he identified with the gay community. My issues with the original line in the Wikipedia article referring to this incident are two-fold. Firstly, the original line in the Wikipedia article misquoted the media link it references. There is no mention of both priests being gay. It would be great if you could double check this for me, in case I am missing something. Secondly, I think that it is important to acknowledge that the priest who did refer to being gay, still upholds his vow of celibacy, as mentioned in this article from the same journalist: http://www.eastbayexpress.com/oakland/gay-priest-ousted-by-conservative-bishop/Content?oid=3854490 I will try to figure out how to work these in. I am a Wikipedia fan and would like to continue its tradition of honest and critical representation of people and events.Asteroid021 (talk) 01:46, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
