Phil, it isn't anti-Phil hysteria. Your comments are frequently out of line.

This forum is titled Catholic Friends. That means that it's a forum to discuss Catholic beliefs without fear of being blasted. The forum was started so we could talk about things that always cause a fight on Brenda's forum.

If I had started the McCain/Huckabee topic on Brenda's, I'm sure that most who responded there would have defended McCain, Huckabee, *and* Hagee for holding perfectly correct views on the Catholic Church. So we have this forum to air our views. It's open to everyone who can come here and discuss these things without being insulting to anyone.

I know that it's some churches' mission to convert others. And the Catholic Church certainly doesn't hide its faith. But this isn't the place to look for converts. I don't think it's fair to blindside people with a relgion sales pitch. I think it's better to spread the word only when asked, and then only answer the question. I don't want to be hassled about religion, so I respect everyone elses right to choose their own religion.

Not that I don't like a good discussion about differing beliefs. :)

But I dont think there would be many folks from Brenda's that defend what Hagee said, if they saw the clip. I think we can give 'em a lil' more credit than that. But I do ack that there may be a few who spt what that 'preacher' said.

Take care, God Bless,
