From Wikipedia:
" Judge developed a romantic relationship with a Filipino nurse named Al Alvarado in the last year of his life, which Judge documented in his diaries. The two often did not see each other for months because of Judge's work as a firefighter.[52]
The revelations about sexual orientation were not without controversy, however. Dennis Lynch, a lawyer, wrote an article about Judge that appeared on the website catholic.org. Lynch claimed that Judge was not gay and that any attempt to define him as gay was due to "homosexual activists" who wanted to "attack the Catholic Church" and turn the priest into a "homosexual icon".[53]
For all that they give up for the vow of chastity, a little chaste romance in a priest's life is not too much to ask, is it? His admirers don't seem to have a problem with it.
It appears that your latest 'homosexual hero' wasn't a homosexual after all.

A "doctrinal position" that
clearly goes against the teachings of human sexuality as seen in both the Old and New Testaments.

I was never a Catholic and not a Christian really any more so it is not my position to say who the Church makes a saint, but I would say that would be a qualification yes.
Is he still "qualified" now that it's been shown that Father Mychal Judge wasn't a homosexual?

Background checks are required for all youth mentors, and without a doubt, proud and unrepentant homosexual Ian McKellen is being true to his Pedophile Information Exchange (P.I.E.) brethren by not wanting to deny them little boys.
That is one side of the argument which as I said has valid points on both sides of it. McKellen's side of it that it would deny young actors opportunities to find roles in amateur productions is also valid. And you should note, he is only arguing that the law is too restrictive for amateur productions, he seems to have had no objection to such background checks for the larger industry.
Your insinuations are not proof of anything.
In other words: Keeping pedophiles away from children in larger industries is important to proud and unrepentant homosexual Ian McKellen, but not in smaller industries.

Hmmmmmm...
More six degrees of separation nonsense. You do realize that resorting to this type of slander by loose association does you no credit and undermines your arguments?
Elijah Wood worked quite closely with Sir McKellen and reportedly had a good friendship. You would think in an article condemning pedophiles in the industry some 10 years later he would have mentioned Ian if he suspected him.
With Elijah Wood supposedly being a good friend of proud and unrepentant homosexual Ian McKellen, one would think that Wood would impress upon McKellen that pedophiles and pederasts run rampant inside the theater industry and that Ian McKellen would put the safety of children before "denying young [pedophile] actors the opportunity to perform in amateur productions".
But then as we've seen time and time again in this now 5 part thread:
They (homosexuals) likez em young.
