Prometheus 6

That whole death and rebirth thing wasn't enough for Donohue, I guess. 

In his book “Jerusalem Countdown,” Mr. Hagee accused the Vatican of collaborating with Hitler in the Holocaust. In addition, some critics have interpreted Mr. Hagee’s references to “the great whore” prophesied in the Book of Revelation as a slur on the Roman Catholic Church....

Mr. McCain said two weeks ago that he was “glad to have his endorsement,”

I think it's pretty significant that it took weeks of negotiation to get this little concession.

McCain Backer Regrets Comments on Catholics
By LAURIE GOODSTEIN

The Rev. John C. Hagee, whose anti-Catholic remarks created a controversy when Senator John McCain received his endorsement for the Republican presidential nomination with fanfare, has issued a letter expressing regret for “any comments that Catholics have found hurtful.”

The letter was issued after weeks of conversations between Mr. Hagee and Roman Catholic Republicans about repairing the damage to Mr. McCain’s campaign and the alliance built over many years between conservative Catholics and evangelicals.

Mr. McCain said Tuesday that he had not been involved in brokering the apology letter from Mr. Hagee, a megachurch pastor in San Antonio who broadcasts to 200 countries, but that he found it "a laudable thing."

Mr. McCain’s pursuit of Mr. Hagee’s endorsement came under renewed scrutiny recently as the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, Senator Barack Obama of Illinois, was embroiled in controversy over incendiary remarks by his former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr.

Critics have attacked Mr. McCain as failing to distance himself enough from Mr. Hagee. Mr. McCain said two weeks ago that he was “glad to have his endorsement,” but that he condemned remarks that were “anti-anything.”
