Can you be Catholic and follow what you believe God is telling you and not what the local priest says?
Of course. If your feel you are being wronged go to another priest.Roman Catholic AnswerThe precept in moral theology is a negative thing: any time you are going against your conscience you are sinning even if your conscience is wrong. This does NOT mean that you are doing the right thing by following your own conscience - that is only true if you conscience is formed in the mind of the Church. If, however, you believe that the priest is telling you something contrary to Church teaching, then, yes, you should go to another priest, or the Bishop. So, if the priest is telling you something the you believe is contrary to Church teaching, you still can't assume that God is telling you something contrary to the priest - you always have to submit your conscience to Church teaching. If you believe God is telling you something contrary to Church teaching, then, no, you are no longer Catholic. God never contradicts Himself, and the Church is His Mystical Body. Individual priests are not infallible, however, but you may disagree with a priest, you may not disagree with the Church.

Can you be openly gay in a Catholic Church?
There are two homosexual groups within the Catholic Church... "Dignity" and "Courage"... members of both communities are openly homosexual. The first wants to be recognized and accepted in their chosen lifestyle.... The second admits that their lifestyle is contrary to the teaching of the church and chooses to live their lives, as best they can, in conformity with the church. The maxim love the sinner - hate the sin. Although different, equate those divorced - remarried Catholic hetrosexual couples who are not in union with the church... their lifestyle is contrary to church teaching, as well, and are they not receive the Sacraments... many do, but that is on the conscience.
