TIA,

I have had a re-think over Newman's suspected homosexuality and I though I'd share it with you for your hoped for response. After reading the letter that Pope Pius X sent to the Bishop of Limerick thanking him for defending Newman I got to thinking. In reading Newman's heartfelt (to say the least) writings regarding his friend [Fr. Ambrose St. John] and also his reaction to his friend's death,

I think that had it been an illicit sexual relationship, Newman would have chosen his words more carefully. He was just too bright to have let his guard down so obviously. So, in view of Christian charity and furthermore, in the absence of proof, I believe that Newman was not homosexual. His 'modernist' style of writings are another matter, but perhaps Pope Pius X was correct in stating that the modernists of his time simply attached themselves to Newman because of his notoriety and used it to give credence to their own warped thinking..
