McCain Repudiates Anti-Catholic Comments

Sen. John McCain is continuing to explain how he doesn’t respect San Antonio pastor John Hagee’s views if they are deemed anti-Catholic.

In an interview with the Associated Press on Friday, the GOP presidential candidate said: "We’ve had a dignified campaign, and I repudiate any comments that are made, including Pastor Hagee’s, if they are anti-Catholic or offensive to Catholics."

Since his endorsement of McCain, Hagee has been criticized by the Democratic National Committee and Catholic League President Bill Donohue for his views of Catholics.
