Our crime of is that we expect a professing Catholic (liberal, conservative, or any other kind) not to deny his faith in a public forum, and not to publicly excoriate a Catholic clergyman who calls him on his hypocrisy.
Guilty as charged.
Sean wears his faith on his sleeve. He openly and often professes to be Catholic.
But you are all free to continue to deride any and all Catholics whom you deem unworthy of belonging to your particular religious sect.
It's not a matter of whom we deem unworthy of belonging to for our "particular religious sect", (the Roman Catholic Church is a worldwide, 2000 year old Christian Church). All we are asking is for people who publicly profess to be Catholic to not misrepresent or attack the Church.
Now the stoning of the infidel may continue.....
You don't seem to understand basic logic and reason. If Sean were not a self professed Catholic, (in your words an "infidel"), we would merely counter his arguments. It is his misrepresentation of the teachings of the Church while professing to be not only a member but an authority on the Church to which we take exception.
There is one more thing which I wish to address, and that is your characterization of the Catholic Church as a sect and a cult, as well as your implied equation of us with Islam ("stoning the infidels".) That kind of liberal slander is unworthy of this forum. It makes me wonder if we are next to be called Nazis or fascists or some other liberal label.
Stoning of infidels ... really. Since this is something Catholics don't do, I gather this is merely an extension of your Catholic bashing from previous posting.
**Now the stoning of the infidel may continue.....**
Of whom are you speaking?
It's not that we don't want Hannity. Rather it's the reverse. Hannity doesn't seem to want the Church. At least not in its present form. He disagrees (apparently) with some of its basic teachings and would like it to conform to his personal schematic.
Like any organization whose membership is voluntary, nobody is compelled to belong. However membership does carry the expectation of support for the basic beliefs and aims of the group. There's nothing peculiarly Catholic about that idea. I mean, it's not like Hannity has no other choices or options. Nobody is holding a gun to his head. If he wants a Church which has no problem with artificial birth control, all he needs do is walk out the front door and take a left. He'll find about a dozen within a two block radius.
