I was tickled to hear that John Hagee has issued what I believe is  a false apology so that his controversial remarks about the Catholic church would not destroy McCain’s chances of obtaining the office of the Presidency. These people are too much!

Evangelical leader John Hagee, one of John McCain’s highest-profile supporters from the religious right, has apologized for comments he made that were offensive to Catholics.

In a letter Monday to Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League for Civil and Religious Rights, Hagee wrote, I want to express my deep regret for any comments that Catholics have found hurtful.

Pastor Hagee, leader of San Antonio’s Cornerstone Church, has often made references to the apostate church and the great whore, terms that Catholics say are slurs aimed at the Roman Catholic Church.

In his letter, Hagee said he now better understands that the Book of Revelation’s reference to the Catholic Church by those two terms are a rhetorical device long employed in anti-Catholic literature and commentary.

Neither of these phrases can be synonymous with the Catholic Church, he wrote.

Donohue, accepting the apology, said on FOX News Radio: I’m absolutely delighted I haven’t seen such a quick turnaround in the 15 years that I have been president of the Catholic League. He said he plans to meet with Hagee on Thursday.

***Cough***

Um…yeah, right!

Now let’s see if McCain is tormented the way Obama was and still is for his pastor’s comments!
