"A Saint Has Died"

From Ormonde at Through the Dust:

A saint has died.

The Rev. William P. Richardson, 98, rector of St George's, New Orleans, from 1953-1976, died peacefully last night at 10:48 p.m. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at St. George’s on Monday, Oct. 8, at noon.

Among the gay community in the United States, Bill Richardson is honored as a hero.

  2. To do what Bill did in 1973 was, indeed, courageous and compassionate. It was the Christian thing to do.
