One wonders how anyone can take this person seriously. My favorite is this line: "he now knew the terms he used to describe the church, such as "the great whore," were "rhetorical devices long employed in anti-Catholic literature."

Ohhh, is "the great whore" offensice? I had no idea! No doubt the McCain campaign pressured him hard to do this.

Pastor John Hagee apologized to the head of the Catholic League. He expressed "deep regret for any comments Catholics found hurtful."
Hagee, who supports John McCain for president, expresses 'deep regret for any comments Catholics found hurtful.' The Catholic League accepts his apology.
An evangelical pastor who backs John McCain tried to put his controversial remarks about the Catholic Church behind him, apologizing to the head of the Catholic League and expressing "deep regret for any comments Catholics found hurtful."

Pastor John Hagee, who heads the Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, said in a letter made public Tuesday that he now knew the terms he used to describe the church, such as "the great whore," were "rhetorical devices long employed in anti-Catholic literature."

To win over evangelicals, McCain sought Hagee's support when he launched his bid for the Republican presidential nomination. But his campaign was caught off guard by the uproar over controversial comments Hagee has made about the Roman Catholic Church.
