From Albany-The Rev. Larry Gipson retired in 2008 as rector at the 8,000-member St. Martin's Episcopal Church in Houston, where his parishioners included former President George H.W. Bush and his wife, Barbara.
Last month, Gipson, who has been married for 48 years, was accepted as a Catholic into the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter, a structure set up by Pope Benedict XVI to accept former Anglicans into the Catholic Church.
The 70-year-old cleric will be among 69 candidates for Catholic priesthood meeting this weekend in Houston at the ordinariate's headquarters.
The Rev. Matthew Venuti of Mobile, Ala., became the first ex-Episcopal priest ordained a Catholic priest in the ordinariate, which covers the United States and Canada.

The fool. Yet if you all purged all supposed ex-Catholics from your institution you might see the light better.
