A man responsible for the murder of early Christians became arguably the greatest apostle in his witness for Christianity (Saul/Paul).

A Catholic from Hollywood's upper echelon with a checkered past creates a movie that brings those of all Christian background together, regardless of doctrinal dispute, in a display of faith that shocks the liberal establishment.

A driftless former drunk is transformed by God and ends up becoming a pivotal President at a central point in world history.

God deals in irony every day. I see nothing shocking in Rush's defense of catholics. He's a sinner. I'm a sinner. So what. It doesn't exclude him from differentiating between right and wrong.

I doubt that Rush thinks he speaks for american catholics. All mortal beings are sinners, you, me, Rush, everyone. We all need God's forgiveness for our sins.

Classic!"

I don't think Rush was "speaking for American Catholics," but for American "CONSERVATIVES!"

Do you have a prob with that, or are ONLY Catholics (of which I are one) allowed to speak for--or defend--us or the Church against the left/libs diatribe?

As far as the "thrice divorced, drug addicted entertainer" slur, I would say to you: Al Franken or Michael Moore, could not have expressed a more laconic invective, if they tried.

Perhaps, you should take a leave of absence and go listen to Air America?

Yeah, but Rush has yet to let an innocent girl drown.

Observation: Whenever someone wishes to destroy the character of someone else, it's a fact of life that the accuser never smears his victim with the charge of being virtuous. No, the attacker must charge his intended victim with the same lack of character as he himself possesses. The smear-campaigner is saying in effect is: "See, he's (my victim) no different from me!" When As a consequence, as you indict Rush, you indict yourself.

Actually, any sinner with a troubled past who appreciates the need for a church to be orthodox is the appropriate person to defend the Catholic Church. We are all sinners, which is why need an institution that upholds objectives beliefs.
