No, this nation is simply tolerant of every vice. Reagan divorced, remarried, no problem. He was elected more than 30 years ago when people were much more conservative. Bill Clinton repeatedly cheated on his wife - and everyone knew it - and he was still elected.

Can you say *Teddy Kennedy*?

He granted a Catholic funeral, was he not?

And I seem to recall some issues with JFK's womanizing.

And vice in the priesthood? Naw, doesn't exist, does it? Of course, everyone knows the answer to that.

Our nation isn't the only organization tolerant of vice. The Catholic church's problem is that it's not tolerant of vice in the poorer laity. Apparently everyone else is exempt.

I sure can - and he too was tolerated by this Protestant country - which just proves my point. This country doesn’t really care if liberals cheat on their wives, and in Newt’s case (I don’t believe he is a liberal) the USA is simply more accepting of sexual sin than it used to be.

“He granted a Catholic funeral, was he not?”

Which has nothing to do with anything here.

“And I seem to recall some issues with JFK’s womanizing.”

But since no one in the public knew about it at the time, it doesn’t apply to what I was talking about.

“And vice in the priesthood? Naw, doesn’t exist, does it?”

Yes, it does. And how many of those priests run president? Why don’t you throw in the kitchen sink like every other Protestant? Oh, wait, you already did. Every example you’ve brought up has nothing to do with what I was talking about. Gee, you must really be desperate.

“Of course, everyone knows the answer to that.”

I don’t think you know many answers.

“Our nation isn’t the only organization tolerant of vice.”

It’s the only one electing presidents of the United States. I hope you realize that.

“The Catholic church’s problem is that it’s not tolerant of vice in the poorer laity. Apparently everyone else is exempt.”

No, pretty obviously love of sinners extends to everyone.
