Book: N.Y. bishop Moore had gay lovers

The late New York Episcopal Bishop Paul Moore Jr. had clandestine relationships with other men despite being married with children, a new book alleges.

Moore's daughter, Honor, alleges in her memoir "The Bishop's Daughter" that her father kept his homosexuality a secret to those in the Anglican Communion, The Hartford (Conn.) Courant reported Sunday.

Moore's eldest daughter said she knew of the Episcopal bishop's alleged romantic relationships for nearly 20 years, but only recently chose to expose the truth to the general public.

That decision has already been criticized by many of her siblings, who say the noted religious figure would likely not have wanted his "private life" exposed.

"Doesn't it matter, even when someone is dead, that his most fervently held private life, and the unnecessary explicit details of his marriage, are exposed against his wishes? We believe that it does matter, and that both our parents' good legacies have been damaged," Susanna McKean Moore, Paul Moore III and George Mead Moore said in a letter.

The Courant said Honor Moore has defended her decision, alleging certain individuals in the Anglican church knew of Moore's bisexuality before his death in 2003.

If the Pastor is a Homosexual, God knows what should be his level of repercussion, else, the daughter.

He should have been exposed for what he was, a phoney and a false teacher. May God have mercy on his soul.

I wonder if he thought he was hiding the fact from God. He will pay dearly for it.

HOMOSEXUAL BISHOP

Why shouldn't the double life of this bishop be exposed? He was breaking the commandment against adultery and engaging in homosexual acts when he was supposed to be an example to his congregation. Perhaps this will lead to a better investigation process into the background of those who are supposed to lead.
