Is the Catholic Church the Great Whore? – Hagee

Hagee has endorsed John McCain

Frank Rich, NYTimes

Bored by those endless replays of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright? If so, go
directly to YouTube, search for “John Hagee Roman Church Hitler,” and be
recharged by a fresh jolt
of clerical jive.

What you’ll find is a white televangelist, the Rev. John Hagee, lecturing in
front of an enormous diorama. Wielding a pointer, he pokes at the image of a
woman with Pamela Anderson-sized breasts, her hand raising a golden chalice.
The woman is “the Great Whore,” Mr. Hagee explains, and she is drinking “the
blood of the Jewish people.” That’s because the Great Whore represents “the
Roman Church,” which, in his view, has thirsted for Jewish blood throughout
history, from the Crusades to the Holocaust.

Mr. Hagee is not a fringe kook but the pastor of a Texas megachurch. On Feb. 27, he stood with
John McCain and endorsed him over the religious conservatives’ favorite, Mike Huckabee, who was then still
in the race.
