Huckabee angers some Catholics
And quite angry they are it seems.
Huckabee paid a visit to Cornerstone, "mega-church" in San Antonio, Texas & its pastor John Hagee, a man accused by some as being anti catholic, to wit:
Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League, the largest Catholic civil rights group in the United States, said "Hagee has a history of denigrating the Catholic religion," The Catholic League says Hagee is virulently anti-Catholic, and it is getting the word out that Huckabee is rubbing shoulders with an anti- Vatican figure.
The Catholic News Agency ran the headline: "Mike Huckabee to speak at strongly anti-Catholic preacher's church."
One Catholic blogger said while Huckabee was an eloquent spokesman for the "culture of life" -- code for the anti-abortion cause -- his visit to "a church pastored by a raving anti-Catholic bigot" was deeply troubling.
In his recent book "Jerusalem Countdown," Hagee wrote: "Most readers will be shocked by the clear record of history linking Adolf Hitler and the Roman Catholic Church in a conspiracy to exterminate the Jews." In the same book, Hagee did applaud the late Pope John Paul II's efforts to reach out to JewsThis all leads me to wonder what catholics will do? Who or what will they remain faithful to? their anti abortion fanaticsim or their equally fanatical devotion to their religion and its leader, the supposed reincarnation of Jesus himself - the pope? This of course applies only to the fanatical catholics and their tiny narrow minded agendas. The bulk of catholics will vote based on a much larger agenda list, a list more in line with most normal americans.
What will they do? Can't honor both; not this time around. Make the anti abortion agenda their main voting point and they risk " dissing" their pope and their religion. Make standing up for their religion and its leader their main voting point and well they just end up with no one to vote for.
Of course if Huckabee doesnt get the republican nomination then this question doesnt even matter, but then others will and i will cover them as they need be. For right now Huckabee appears the one to beat.
