In all the world, across continents and oceans and nationalities, the RCC could find no man up to the task of being pope other than someone who had been a member of the Hitler Youth and whose father was in the S.S.

Nice comment.

Now let’s see, there is a precedent within the long history of the Church of imperfect people rising to lead her.

There was this guy named Saul who passed his time persecuting early Christians, that is after he was knocked off his donkey by a Divine vision. After a name change, he became Peter’s right-hand man, converted the Gentiles, and died a glorious martyr’s death.

And then there was Augustine of Hippo, who lived a life probably not too dissimilar to Maher’s: whoring, drinking, etc. That is, until his conversion, when he became a Prince of the Church and one of her greatest theologians.

We Christians believe in redemption. Apparently, Rabbi Schneier, here in New York, does too.

Now you can go back into your hole.

As you vent your irrational hate for all things Catholic, you're also bearing false witness.
