Thanks for the link and evidence.

Excerpt:..To one of his antagonists, a certain monsignor in the chancellery who frequently phoned to admonish him, Judge once said: "If I've ever done anything to embarrass or hurt the church I love so much, you can burn me at the stake in front of St. Patrick's."

Being homosexual would embarass and hurt Judge's church, therefore he is either a liar and gay, or another defenseless dead person calumnized in order to further the homosexual agenda.

Which is it?

The evidence of his own words leads me to conclude the latter.

R.I.P. Mychal Judge

"Being homosexual would embarass and hurt Judge's church, therefore he is either a liar and gay, or another defenseless dead person calumnized in order to further the homosexual agenda."

...a valid general argument, with which, however, I take issue with "Being homosexual", which should be replaced with "Practicing homosexuality".

This is a photo of NYC firefighters carrying the lifeless body of FDNY Chaplain Fr. Mychal Judge away from the crumbling World Trade Center towers on September 11, 2001.

Regardless of his sexual orientation (if his actions the day he died were consistent with the way he lived his life before that day, he kept his vow of celibacy), Andrew Sullivan, et al, shouldn't be bringing up this issue. Let the man's memory rest without controversy. He went into intense danger so he could minister to the dying. He knew the risk, and he went anyway. He died in the line of duty. There is no higher honor. R.I.P. Father Mychal Judge.

Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon him. May he, and all of those who died on September 11, 2001, rest in peace. Amen.
