Personally, I think this "Father" is a dolt.

Far from it. He's a very well respected priest in the Catholic community (FAITHFUL Catholic community, not the cafeteria kind) and has done a LOAD of good stuff for the pro-life movement.

I have never heard Hannity claim to be some sort of Catholic expert, a guru, nor have I ever heard him place himself on a pedestal concerning his religion.

Well then you haven't been listening. For years Sean has been calling himself a "devout, practicing Catholic". If you don't follow the core tenets of the Catholic faith (for instance refusing to believe the Church's stand that contraception is intrinsically evil), then you can't be a "devout, PRACTICING Catholic". Just going to church on Sunday does not a devout Catholic make!

Like O'Reilly, I've heard Sean make troubling statements about artificial birth control being okay in some situations, and this is NOT what the Church teaches.

Moreover, Sean HAS worn his Catholicism on his sleeve. If he's so vocal about his faith, it's certainly legitimate to call him on it when he errs. Especially when the person erring is a public figure who can mislead people into believing erroneous things about the Catholic faith.

He said he would refuse to serve communion to Sean if he came to Worship with him, I have never heard of anything like that before. Wow!

He is not erring as badly as Euteneuer is on birth control though. Euteneuer has a formal sterilization program going with Catholics running under the radar of using non-invasive or artificial items like drugs or devices.

His program is one that will stub out the catholic community in a generation as he smiles and assures his clients they get a pass on sinning with his "natural planning" birth control methods. If successful, Euteneuer's program would drastically shrink the catholic population until it is easily overwhelmed by the heathen in later generations.

All this is a product of deep, advanced science of the last 20 years that no other catholic generation could benefit from. If he were to explain this to Pius X, he would be excommunicated on the spot. Instead he smiles and condemns Sean Hannity in a pius smugness that makes the rankest hypocrite cringe.

Also, he cowardly avoids rancorous apostates on the left because he is afraid of them. Hannity is easy because the padre knows he would be deferential and say nothing to impugn the institution.
