Oscar Wilde wrote beautiful and sweet children’s books. He was morally depraved and irresponsible. He was also a believing Christian who received the sacraments on his deathbed. We cannot judge people’s hearts, souls or intellects by broad labels.

He was also a degenerate homosexual who was sentenced to hard labor in Prison ~

Wilde had the Marquess of Queensberry prosecuted for criminal libel. The Marquess was the father of Wilde’s lover, Lord Alfred Douglas. The charge carried a penalty of up to two years in prison.

The trial unearthed evidence that caused Wilde to drop his charges and led to his own arrest and trial for gross indecency with men. After two more trials he was convicted and imprisoned for two years’ hard labour. HA!

"We cannot judge people’s hearts, souls or intellects by broad labels." Yes, absolutely true. "Oscar Wilde wrote beautiful and sweet children’s books. He was morally depraved and irresponsible. He was also a believing Christian who received the sacraments on his deathbed." We should all be so lucky to receive the Holy Sacrament of the Last Rites. EXTREME UNCTION
