I saw most of that exchange. Frankly, lately it seems like every time a priest is interviewed or reported upon, it has ended up being one with pro-sanctuary, semi-socialist leanings. This time was quite different. Fr. Euteneuer is right. Sean is a patriot and espouses conservative ideals, but not Catholic ones. Someone needs to tell Sean that the cafeteria is closed.
I agree. I have a lot of respect for Hannity and his Conservative ideals. He is a good spokesman for the Conservative movement. However (there is always a "however"!!), he was WAY out of line in his attacks on that Priest. I watched the video of their exchange, and I could not believe what I was hearing. The nasty things that Hannity said are more commonly heard from the mouths of San Francisco liberals.
On top of it all, not only was he wrong about Church teaching on birth control, and dissenting about it in public (which is technically called heresy), but then he started crowing about how he had attended a Seminary at some point in the past (apparently to make himself look like some sort of expert). Unbelievable.
He needs to check his ego at the door, eat some humble pie, and issue an apology. We have enough trouble with this sort of stuff coming from the left, and we don't need from within our OWN camp!! If he disagrees with a certain church teaching, there are civilized methods by which such things may be discussed without resorting to dissent. Full frontal attacks on a priest who is accurately describing church teachings is not the way to go about it. As much as it pains me to say it, that Priest was on-target when he said that he would deny Holy Communion Hannity.
**Someone needs to tell Sean that the cafeteria is closed.**
He is a CINO Catholic in Name Only, and I didn't used to think that about him. Too bad. He came out looking really dumb on this interview. Did what he accuses a lot of dimocrats of doing on his interviews. He tried tochange the subject to blaming Fr. Enterneuer for the priest abuse scandal.
If it comes down to it, I'll vote for Rudy over Her Heinousness, but with a clothespin on my nose. The fact that Sean is backing him so wholeheartedly is troubling...
