Got an email yesterday from Fr. Thomas Euteneur of Human Life International on Hannity and Repentance. Fr. Euteneur recalls that three years ago Sean Hannity, professional "conservative" and "Catholic" talk radio host wondered whether or not he had sinned by eating meat on a Friday during Lent.
Fr. Euteneur wrote Hannity that he should be more concerned with his support of Artificial Birth Control that breaking a Lenten abstinence. This lead to a grilling of Fr. Euteneur by Hannity on Hannity and Colmes. It's shameful that he ends up bringing up the priest sex scandal in a pathetic attempt to deflect Fr. Euteneur's points. He even claims to have studied at a seminary and learning Latin. This means nothing if you are promoting heresies. He still hasn't learned his lesson as I have heard him take a cheap shot at former Senator Rick Santorum about his wife having another child.
Father is right,Sean lacks understanding and is grandstanding and sitting on the fence. Artificial birth control is abortion, no if ands or buts about it.
For someone who was constantly on Barak Obama's case about sitting through 20 years of Reverend Wright's vitriolic sermons & claiming not to have heard all of the anti white rhetoric, Hannity seems to be just as clueless as Obama.
He has NO respect for God's anointed, which is what Fr. Euteneur is. No matter how bad a priest is, one has no right to attack them in public. Look what happened to the man who killed Saul.
The most disappointing part of that Hannity interview was the way in which Fr. Jonathan Morris, Fox News priest advisor, defended Mr. Hannity in his dissent against a Catholic priest who was actually defending the orthodox teaching of the Church. The priestly sell-out on contraception and church discipline is a painful corollary to Hannity's lay dissent. The shameful silence of the clergy on the issue of Catholic morality in the era when it has been most needed is an insufferable failure of those responsible for being its guardians. We will be for generations digging ourselves out of this clerical mess.
Hannity is a Roman Protestant narrowback poser. I use the term narrowback as it was used against the children of Irish immigrants by their elders. It means someone unable to shoulder the traditions of his people. I really question whether he believes the conservatism that he espouses. Fr. Euteneur offered to meet with Hannity to discuss this further. As of yet, that hasn't happened.
God help us all!

You mean I'm not the only one who sees this? You couldn't be more right in pointing out what a phony Hannity is.
