And He Doesn’t Want His Gay Friends “Jumping Off The Balcony”

Sunday’s New York Times Magazine has an interview with John McCain’s controversial endorser, John Hagee, who says John McCain sought his endorsement.

Here are some other nuggets:

How did you feel when critics called you a Catholic-basher and said McCain should reject your endorsement? My statements regarding the Catholic Church have been grossly mischaracterized. I never called the Catholic Church “the anti-Christ” or a “false cult system.” I was referring to those Christians who ignore the Gospels.

What about your observation in a recent book that “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? What I was trying to express was the fact that Christian anti-Semitism — both Catholic and Protestant — contributed to an environment in which Nazi racial anti-Semitism could flourish.

Sounds reasonable?
