When Conservative Catholics Clash
An interesting exchange between Fox News' Sean Hannity and a very conservative Catholic theologian, Rev. Thomas Euteneuer, over the issue of public Catholics and their appropriate adherence to church dogma:
It's funny to see someone get to the right of Sean and accuse him of a "superficial presentation of one aspect of the faith" (a charge that many left-wing Christians make of those on the right who focus on social questions such -- such as abortion or homosexuality -- but don't sign on to "liberation theology" ore economic causes).
Of course, throwing the church's sex abuse scandal in the priest's face is somewhat dirty pool on Hannity's part.
Colmes' line, "You guys need a Jew to break this up," is one of the funniest things I've ever heard from him.
