So many Catholic Priests read the Corner? On a Sunday, no less? Anyway, several have written, and I’m tickled to say they all side with …. Goldberg! Here’s one:

Dear Jonah, In responding to Mike Potemra, you’ve hit the nail on the head. Sean Hannity can’t have it both ways. Either the priest has a duty to instruct the flock and to correct error among the faithful, using the teachings of the Church and the Scriptures, or it’s all up for grabs and it’s merely this priest’s opinion vs. Hannity’s. I run into this fairly frequently — I am a Catholic priest, pastor in a small town in the Midwest. The priest is doing his job — would that more priests would step up to the plate.. Hannity is participating in a famous Catholic pasttime, smorgasbord Catholicism, in which one picks and chooses those tenets of the faith one finds to one’s taste, and eschews the other, less palatable tenets. So, in a certain sense, Hannity is more a member of the Swedish Catholic Church than the Roman Catholic Church. On the other hand, he is a child of the age, the “Burger King dictum” applied to the moral and spiritual life: have it your way. I give the priest credit for taking on Sean Hannity on Hannity’s own turf. He’s flying the flag, and Sean ain’t salutin’. ’Tis a pity. Keep up the good work: NRO rocks!
