Rich Rich Irony: Gay man to head N.C. council of Christian churches

The rich irony, of course, is found in the opening statement -- nay clauses -- of the story from the News & Record [emphasis added]:
"The North Carolina Council of Churches, a social justice advocacy group that unites denominations and congregations, has become the first organization of its kind in the South to elect an openly gay person as its president."

But electing a non-celibate gay male as its president is the precise opposite of "uniting."

Which would be why, no doubt, the Southern Baptists are not a part of the organization.

My question is . . . why are the Roman Catholics a part of this organization?
