I’m a Catholic. I usually agree with the Catholic League, but I thought they overreacted to Hagee’s endorsement of McCain, and I thought Hagee’s apology was just fine. It was not weasel worded like most such apologies.
I don’t expect Baptist ministers to endorse the Catholic Church, although I hope we can work together on matters we agree on, such as the right to life. Hagee fell for the liberal Jewish line that Pius XII and the papacy are enemies of Israel, but he corrected himself, which is more than you can say about the usual leftist suspects who spread these lies.
As for Benedict XVI, maybe they should elect him President of Israel, because he sure understands the politics of the situation better than “Olmert-Livni-Barack-Yishai.”
FYI, The Catholic League accepted Hagee’s apology for his past statements about the Catholic Church. According to Bill Donohue of the CL, the issue is over with.
Honestly, Hagee has said some very mean things about the Catholic church over the years. I was very surprised and impressed that he apologised! It was great. I don’t think he says anything that he doesn’t mean.
I like Hagee. Anybody who can stand still and quote scripture at a guy who is shooting him, is living right!
That’s right. A wacko came in Hagee’s church, walked up the isle, and stood just a few feet away from him, with a gun, and told him, “the Devil is stronger that Jesus, and at the count of three, I am gonna shoot you, preacher!” He lied. He started shooting after 2. He shot all the bullets in his gun. But, not one of them hit Hagee, nor anyone else!
Next, a person sent Hagee a bomb. It blew up in the post office. Weird thing was, that the post office had been confiscating Hagee’s Ministry mailers. He was told that they were not religious enough, to recieve the charity mailing discount churches are granted. (Hagee sued and won, btw) Weird the way things work out...
