I am not sure what a stfu is......

Why does that not surprise me...

A hint for the uninformed and bigoted, such as yourself: the first word is "shut", the second is "the", and the last one is "up"...

Since you are all-righteous and feel like you need to pass judgment on the dead--and in a tribute thread, no less--I'm sure you can figure out what the "f" is...even in Singapore.

uninformed and bigoted?

Let's parse that for a moment shall we?

Uninformed. So Fr. Judge was not a gay activist who set out to deliberately undermine the Church's doctrine on sexuality?

Bigoted. Well, under your definition of bigoted, then I join in the company of the Holy Father and the President who I assume you voted for in November. Really, this is the kind of logic one would expect from a Daily Koser. Very, very interesting. Your language is also very peculiar, considering your self-identification as a "Christian"....Who's being self-righteous now?

"To friends, he was known as a gay man who appreciated the Gay USA show and celebrated the city's "gorgeous men" by saying, "Isn't God wonderful?" When his close friend, gay activist Brendan Fay, started a St. Patrick's parade in Queens last year that included gay groups, Judge helped him fund it and showed up in his brown friar's robe to put the church on the side of the oppressed, even as Catholic officialdom was urging a boycott. He frequently donated clothes to the Out of the Closet Thrift Shop for gay and AIDS causes on East 81st Street. He was a longtime member of Dignity, the gay Catholic group. In recent years, he came out to many of those he loved, including Fire Commissioner Tom Von Essen, who warmly accepted him.
