Over the past several months Discover the Faith has covered the anti Catholicism of Pastor Hagee and his endorsement of John McCain. Now John McCain has rejected the endorsement of Pastor Hagee. While Pastor Hagee has apologized for his anti Catholic remarks, evidently he has made many other remarks that have been found offensive. It seems that the last straw was a comment in which he said that Hitler was sent by God so that the Jews could return to the promised land. McCain has also rejected the endorsement of Pastor Rod Parsley of World Harvest Church in Columbus Ohio for comments Pastor Parsley has made against Islam.
Previously McCain had distanced himself from Pastor Hagee but now he has taken the step to completely reject their endorsements because of these comments. Pastor Hagee on Thursday withdrew his endorsement of McCain. Hopefully this is the last we hear of this sad chapter.
