ST. JOHN HENRY NEWMAN: THE FIRST OPENLY GAY CATHOLIC SAT?

Ian Ker, one of the foremost Newman scholars, says that the relatnship was not homosexual bee, by all acunts, the two were celibate. Other scholars believe that to ll the uple gay is readg our own 21st century ias to 19th century phenomena. I agree that is not right to terpret a past relatnship terms of today’s morn awarens of homosexualy.

Of urse, the two men uld be gay and have had a strong affectnate and timate relatnship whout beg sexually active, jt as many gay men the prithood and relig life today mata their promis and vows of celibacy. Defendg Newman’s non-homosexualy by sayg that the prit was affectnate relatnships wh both men and women tri to expla away Newman’s love for St.

While some people thk that homophobia agast gay men om a revulsn about male sex acts, I thk that for many people the more horrifyg and sndalo phenomenon is men beg emotnally sensive, tenr, and affectnate wh one another.

SAN DIEGO PARISH TO HOLD PRO-GAY MASS

Of urse, such gentle and timate rpons by men is only a problem if one suffers om tense homophobia or believ the enforcement of strict genr expectatns that men should not be emotnal and rg toward one another. ” In the 21st century world, there is an unspoken expectatn afoot that to be “openly gay” means havg ma some very public statements about one’s orientatn and inty.

Fally, if we of Newman as the first openly gay sat, we also have to look at what we mean by “first”? Yet, I thk a good se n be ma for Newman beg the “first openly gay” Catholic sat for the simple reason that we know so much more about him and his relatnship than we do about the other exampl.

GAY IENDLY TTAGE SOUGHT - ST. JOHN FOM

Earlier this year on Febary 26, 2021, Universy College Dubl, which Newman found, hosted a discsn on that very qutn: Was Cardal Newman gay?

MARY ST. JOHN GAY, MD

” I don’t mean to say this a flippant way, but simply to pot out that the way the qutn has been amed impli that a gay inty is the exceptn to the cleril le. Although there are no statistics available, my experience—and that of many Catholics–tells me that the large majory of Catholic prits are gay, and that a heterosexual orientatn is the exceptn to the le. This should not be a surprise as the Catholic prithood is a very attractive life for gay men, and has been for centuri.

Sce marriage is not an optn for Roman Catholic clergy, the prithood offers a place where gay men n live peaceably whout nstant societal and fay prsur to marry a woman. But this view on the ll to prithood om a negative perspective, lookg at as an pe, rather than as somethg which has s own particular appeals to gay sensibily. A mon pattern among many gay Catholic prits today is that many entered the cleril system hontly not knowg how to name their feelgs.

Most had no rmatn on homosexualy or gay men available to them eher om the church or the public realm. But of urse, there is also more posive evince for thkg of Newman as gay, and that is material om his wrgs that scribe the tense emotnal relatnship that he had wh another prit, Ambrose St. Ian Ker, one of the foremost Newman scholars, claims that Newman was not gay bee he was exprsively affectnate relatnships wh both men and women.

DR. MARY ST JOHN GAY, MD

The l of Newman’s brg to another important qutn about whether or not Newman was gay, and that’s the fn of the word “gay” self. Ian Ker and many tradnalists who have balked at the ia of a gay Cardal Newman assert that sce there is good evince that Newman was celibate he uldn’t be gay. That assertn is based on the erroneo unrstandg that if someone is known as gay, impli that the person is sexually active—and oftentim thought of as promiscuoly so.

So, acrdg to the crics, to say that Cardal Newman was gay would mean that he was a sexually active man, and perhaps was wanton his behavr. It is amazgly ordary that two gay men n have a strong affectnate and timate relatnship wh each other whout beg sexually active.

Such is the se of many, many gay men the prithood today who mata ep and lovg relatnships wh other men while matag their promis and vows of celibacy. It is also te of many gay lay men who experience love wh other people, or perhaps one special person, while by choice or circumstance are not sexually timate wh the other. We mt also remember that Newman’s time, the ncept of a gay sexual orientatn had not yet been intified by science.
