I am catholic, but I am dismayed that the Church would even consider hosting this jackass. I believe his comments about Jews were more about trying to divide the Arab world with the rest of the world. Regardless, the Church seems to have a history of not speaking up for Jews and for this I am ashamed.

Then you're the sorry sort of cultural Catholic who thinks of the Church as a political institution in fancy dress, not as the Body of Christ. Our Lord sat down to dine with sinners, and presented Himself as the Good Shepherd who goes in search of lost sheep. Should His vicar on earth be too fine and grand to follow the Savior's example?

We are all sinners, with more than a few jackasses among us. We need a forgiving Savior every bit as much as Hussein's loathesome errand-boy Tariq.
