Yesterday (7 April) Joseph Amodeo announced he was stepping down from the junior board of Catholic Charities because Cardinal Timothy Dolan has allegedly ignored the plights of LGBT youth.

'As someone who believes in the message of love enshrined in the teachings of Christ, I find it disheartening that a man of God would refuse to extend a pastoral arm,' the former board member said in his letter to Catholic Charities (as reported by Huffington Post).
