It was only a matter of time

I was happy to hear Medved announce around 5pm today that basically the whole Hagee controversy is over. Here's Donohue:

After weeks of meeting with various Catholic leaders, and accessing scholarly literature on Catholic-Jewish relations, Pastor John Hagee has demonstrated an improved understanding of the Catholic Church and its history. In his letter to me, Hagee says, ‘I want to express my deep regret for any comments that Catholics have found hurtful.’ He specifically cites his emphasis of ‘the darkest chapters in the history of Catholic and Protestant relations with the Jews,’ and has pledged to provide a more complete and balanced portrayal going forward that will not reinforce mischaracterizations of the Catholic Church. And while he stresses that his invocation of terms like ‘apostate church’ and the ‘great whore’ were never meant by him to describe the Catholic Church, he acknowledges that anti-Catholics have long employed such language.

Who knows, those Ursuline nuns in San Antonio who were helped by Hagee's denomination might pray his butt into the Catholic church yet. He'd have to drop that 7-year rapture dreck, though, and that only comes out by prayer and fasting, believe me.
