Fr. Mychal Judge
I hadn't previously heard about Mychal Judge, a fire-department chaplain in NYC who died at the WTC on 9/11. A member of AA, widely beloved, and, though not publicly, gay. And now there's apparently a movement to try to get him canonized. The site I pointed to is probably a bit biased, since it appears to be at the forefront of the canonization movement, but even with a grain of salt it's still an interesting story. (No miracles reported yet, though.) But maybe y'all knew about him already; I imagine his story was widely reported in the days after 9/11.
I find it particularly interesting that he chose to work within the system by remaining closeted (except to a few friends), rather than to publicly come out and possibly lose his position. I suppose it could be argued that keeping something secret that would get you removed from your position isn't the best way to operate, even if it's done for good reasons; on the other hand, I think there's value in working for change both from within a system and from outside it, and if the only way to continue to work within the system is to hide something, I can't fault that too much.
Somehow, though, I suspect the Church isn't gonna be too happy about the idea of turning a known homosexual into a saint. Alas.
