There have been great men from the Anglican church that have found their home in the Catholic Church.
John Henry Newman, G K Chesterton. We salute them and we look forward to others.
Was Malcolm Muggeridge Anglican? Well a great man nevertheless. Please add to the list.

Newman was a Cardinal of the Church, and he died as an obedient son to the same. Just as he submitted all of his writings to whatever correction the Church saw fit upon his conversion, so too he would submit his wishes to that of the Church. He defended the biblical practice of relics.

One of the reasons for the decline of close male freindships is the fear among heterosexual men that their close male freindship will be misinterpreted as homsexual. This is a function of truth. A person has the right to be belived in what they say. John Henry Newman was not a homosexual.

I agree with Jenny. It's a new McCarthyism whereby the general public is beaten down into submission and silence by public attacks. The average person needs to ask themselves if they want to be ruled by fear by a militant minority.

Rick, San Francisco, US

Whether he was gay or not, the Vatican is absolutely wrong in re-positioning his grave. It is a moral disgrace that this man's wishes are being violated after his death.

What is it with Catholics 'venerating' corpses? There's something really not right about the practice. It's also not unreasonable to expect to your remains to be left where you specified without a church co-opting them for their own purposes.

This is normal practice when a person is being beatified of canonised. Does Peter Tatchell believe that familes buried in the same grave have incestous relationships?

"Previously, they had shared a house. " If this is a reference to the Oratory's country house, it is no great surprise as Newman lived there in Rednal and walked the eight miles to The Oratory in Edgbaston, Birmingham. Presumably a lot of other RC priests also 'shared' the same house of course!

Martin Packer, Birmingham, England, U.K.

Sorry, but the only people who are hate filled are religious people. The current pope and his followers have views not too different to those of Adolf Hitler on homosexuality.

These religious extremists say they are christians, but to my mind, nowadays most speak with a forked toungue.

J Mathews, Glasgow,

Well, well. Veneration of Bones. All very 'Medieval' to say the least. What next, selling 'Indulgences' to raise cash? As for Tatchell, well he would demand something like this?

B Clarke, Chelmsford, England UK

"The utter absurdity of this idea speaks for itself."
OK, so then why move the grave?

slk, Perth, Australia

Sorry, but homophobes are old and tired, always insisting that no one who is considered "holy" could be considered homosexual. Get over it.

McMike, Jacksonville,

Sorry, but the gay activists have gotten so extremist, now insisting that any close relationship can be considered homosexual, have embraced the negative stereotyping that were recognized as being wrong decades back. They have become hate filled, and seek to persecute others.
