How 'Gay' Activists Smeared Father Mychal Judge

I thought he was a sponsor (perhaps not a particularly active one) of "Courage" - a Catholic organization which counsels homosexuals on leaving their deathstyle.

My father's good friend Fr. Groeschel was present for the sodomite assault on St. Patrick's. It was even worse than you have heard. All manner of bodily fluids were flung at the altar and the celebrants.

Well I'll be...

Thanks for posting this. All the papers have been saying Judge was gay.

On 9/11 one of the major networks -- CBS, I think, but it might have been NBC, ran the footage shot by the French documentarian who was living with a nearby FDNY company and shooting a documentary about a young probationer who was breaking in with the company. This was the footage that caught AA Flight 11 flying into the WTC. (The firemen had come out on a response to a complaint of an odor of natural gas in an intersection. The documentarian rolled out with them on a 50/50 "yeah, why not" basis -- and got the footage of the decade.)

Later in the footage, when the fire company immediately saddled up and drove downtown, the French documentary-maker and his cameraman rode with them and shot a lot of footage in the lobby of WTC 1, including footage of Chaplain Judge in the minutes immediately prior to the collapse of WTC 2, when he was very much functional and concerned as everyone else was. The dust must have got him, by cutting off his air -- like it did a lot of people. You may have seen this footage. Parts of it are horrendous, just horrific. And they didn't even shoot the bad stuff -- like the people on fire that they passed on entering the lobby, who'd been knocked down by burning jet fuel that came rocketing 1200' down the elevator shafts and literally blew some of the elevators apart, busted out some of the plate-glass windows in the lobby, and even knocked slabs of marble off the elevator banks. That whole business was hell on wheels, and the Frenchman caught a lot of it -- I think he'll be up for a Pulitzer.

I vividly recall that debacle. On a recent EWTN program, Fr. Groeschel, recalling this event, noted that ActUp's founder, Steve Michael, had called for a priest before dieing. In a strange twist of irong, he then went on to say that the catholic church had buried. him. He reminded the listeners, however, that Mr. Michael was probably doing serious time in purgatory.

I thought this would be of interest for you. Fr. Richard John Neuhaus in the Oct. 2002 "While We're At It" section of The Public Square of First Things

You know about Father Mychal Judge, the gay priest who was killed giving the last rites to fallen firefighters at the World Trade Center? No you don’t. Fr. Mychal was not homosexual, never mind, as has been endlessly repeated in the media, “openly gay.” He was a faithful celibate priest noted for his heroic service to all in need. The story of his being gay is a total fabrication of homosexual activists and their friends in the press. So says Dennis Lynch, a lawyer who was a close friend and collaborator of Fr. Mychal’s who knew him for ten years and has gone to the trouble of interviewing scores of others who worked with him closely. All of them agree that the legend of “the gay priest” is nothing but propaganda. As you might expect, there are those who persist in claiming that they know Fr. Judge was gay. I don’t know what to believe, but I have talked with Mr. Lynch and find his argument persuasive. For further information, he can be reached at deallaw@aol.com.

Thank you for the post! Nothing riles me more than those who seek to profit from another's death. The dead cannot defend themselves.

Here's one of those articles.

Why the term PROBABLY GAY? That is disrespectful. Is it all right for anyone to say anything about someone and make it true. There was a time when one did not say anything about someone unless it was a fact and even then to say something negative one had to think it could ruin someones reputation. What they did to Father Mike was a scandal to his reputation because he was a Catholic priest. They did not care about how good a priest he was but it was to take a slap at the church. And PROBABLY he was not gay. I say that because I do not know.
