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.

Again we find an RC apologist who cannot refrain from "making it personal."

"For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned." -- Matthew 12:37
