No Catholic priests have objected yet, but others have (including some though who would have liked “damn fine priest” better):
Your comment about Father Rutler being a “damn good priest” was just so typically Catholic of you. This isn’t a Catholic-bashing statement, just an observation gleaned from knowing Catholics my entire life and being married into a Catholic family. It has never ceased to amaze me how even devout Catholics have no problem cutting loose with four-letter words on a whim. You will never, ever hear a devout Southern Baptist, for instance, refer to someone as a “damn good preacher.” What’s up with that?
