Newman was a known homo...He wanted to be buried in the same grave as his boyfriend...And he was Orthodox, eh???
What are your sources?
Plenty of men and women in the 18th and 19th century were buried in the same plot. Especially close friends. Lincoln slept with men and it’s a documented fact.
Was he a homosexual? I don’t think Lincoln was a homosexual and anymore than I think Newman was. It used to be possible to have close friends of the same sex with being considered homosexual. Newman started living a celibate life at the age of 15, when he was an Angelican.
That’s a big one. Hundreds of thousands of South Vietnamese Catholics murdered and brutalized and imprisoned by communists. I wouldn’t want that on my conscience.
That's a serious charge--one that I have never heard before. Can you document it?
