I can accept this man's past and his heroic action at the same time. The former does not negate the latter in any way. In fact, taking the Catholic angle you can see his martyrdom as a form of penance.

Another NYT fuck-stick, a pernicious halfwit straight out of university who believes anything positive from the past must automatically be shit on, in the name of "truth." She gets bonus woke points for abusing Catholics.
