This isn’t going away because the Left isn’t going to let it. My boyfriend is Catholic and a Conservative, so I don’t need any retort for what I’m about to say. Not all Catholics are Conservative. There are many in the church who support the Democrats. While there might be more than a few Democrats who are good folks of faith, there are many who aren’t. I don’t know where this story came from, but I find it hard to believe that a Lutheran of any sect would believe that the Pope, any pope, is the anti-Christ. Bachmann sure doesn’t.
Whenever the Left raises this, the Right raises Reverend Wright. Issue neutralized.
