Why on earth does it even matter? He was a brave man, now let him rest in peace.

I concur. I am not homophobic and I wouldn't classify myself as a pro-gay anything. ANYBODY who has been around the Catholic church for any time has had to have figured out that many priests are homosexual.

I was sexually assaulted by a priest when I was an altar boy, many priests have done the same thing.

I am no longer catholic, but I am not going to condemn all priests or all catholics.

This Chaplain was killed by a jumper while he was performin his duty - PERIOD. His sex life has nothing to do with his BRAVERY and devotion to his duty in the face of great personal danger. His last act was an act of compassion..

May you rest in peace, Rev. Michael Judge.

EXACTLY! Thank you. That is the precise point many of us are trying to make. It is not respectful to Father Mike's memory for homosexual militants like Andrew Sullivan to keep portraying him as a homosexual man. They keep suggesting it as though repeating it again and again will make it so. But that doesn't fly if you look at the cold, hard facts. The homosexuals in these articles were the only ones claiming Father Mike was 'sexual' at all. THAT is the agenda we are trying to oppose.
