I kind of agree with you. I am not Catholic and offer no opinions on either Sean or the father being the better Catholic.
However, after reading the Fathers piece it appeared to me that he had no real interest in what Sean was going to apologise about. In other words it appeared to me that the Father had just been looking for an excuse to write a hit piece on Sean.
Having said all that-I will admit that I did go to a Catholic High School. Best experience of my life.
"Hit piece..." Hmmmm
The priest has publicly denounced Pelosi (link is above). Was that also a hit piece? What I am hearing is defensiveness. I guess it depends on whose ox is being gored.
Sean has misrepresented the teaching of the Church and was publically corrected.
I am curious as to why he even brought this up on his show.
