Where did Santorum apologize? Certainly not in the last paragraph. Being polite is not an apology. Do you not like him because he is a Roman Catholic in communion with his diocesan bishop and with the Holy See???

Try instead to question the notorious Abraham Foxman whose life was saved in infancy by a priest and a nun to whom he was given as an infant by his parents before they were deported from Lithuania (?) to be murdered in the Nazi death camps (even if soi dissant schismatic Bishop Williamson denies the Holocaust). Foxman is in a permanent snit because the Vatican (for whatever reasons of its own refuses to obey him and to disclose the names of the priest and nun to him. Just another permanent whiny malcontent with an unjustified attitude of resentment against the Vatican because it won't march to his tune even when he owes his very life to the subordinates of the Vatican.

Well, every decade or so, I get some of the facts wrong. Wikipedia makes no reference to Foxman being given to a priest and a nun but I remember that Foxman got involved in some dustup with the Vatican by trying to extract the names of a priest and a nun to whom he had been entrusted in infancy. The story came out when Foxman was bashing Mel Gibson. The Boston Office of the ADL was run by some fellow who publicly called on Foxman to stifle his sniping at Catholics and the Church because it was an embarrassment to ADL. Another poster has referenced that somehow Foxman was returned to is parents (who apparently survived the Holocaust unlike 6 million other Jews and 5 million others including many Catholics)through the offices of JP II when he was a parish priest. I have never heard that before and I have asked for confirmation of that story.

“Where did Santorum apologize? Certainly not in the last paragraph. Being polite is not an apology.”

The ADL said that Santorum apologized and contemptuously kicked him again:

After Santorum Apologizes, ADL Reiterates Concern About Use of Nazi Imagery In Filibuster Debate

New York, NY, May 20, 2005 … After Senator Rick Santorum apologized for his remarks comparing the Democrats use of the filibuster to oppose judicial nominees to “the equivalent of Adolf Hitler in 1942,” the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) reiterated its concern about inappropriate comparisons to Nazis and the Holocaust in political debates, which are becoming all-too common in Washington.

“Once again, Nazi imagery was used in a political debate, where it has no place,” said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director. “Whatever your views on the Senate rules relating to the use of the filibuster and judicial nominations, it is inappropriate and insensitive to compare American democratic procedures with actions taken by Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party.” [...]
