We’ve been highlighting the back-and-forth between Ali Forney Center director Carl Siciliano and Cardinal Timothy Dolan quite a bit here on the blog. And to say that Cardinal Dolan didn’t respond well to being called out for his anti-LGBT views is an understatement.

Still, we’re guessing he didn’t expect any fallout within the ranks.

That’s not the case. Executive Committee member of the Junior Board of Catholic Charities (and 2005 Instinct Leading Man) Joseph Amodeo has submitted his resignation from Catholic Charities in the wake of Cardinal Dolan’s comments and clear failings of leadership.

Check out his stirring letter of resignation after the jump.

We previously highlighted 2011 Instinct Leading Man Carl Siciliano’s open letter in The Huffington Post to Cardinal Timothy Dolan (New York’s Archbishop), regarding Dolan’s stance on marriage equality, the LGBT community, and his church’s impact on LGBT youth. Siciliano invited Cardinal Dolan to meet with LGBT youth, so as to better understand the impact of the Church's actions.

Cardinal Dolan has since responded to Siciliano’s letter and he appears to have his manties in quite a twist.

Thankfully the always eloquent (and HOT, did we mention hot?) Siciliano refuses to let Cardinal Dolan off the hook.

Check out Dolan’s response and Siciliano’s rebuttal after the jump.
