In a recent article, The New York Times Magazine implied that Pastor John Hagee has a favorite candidate in the 2012 presidential election. Like most Americans,Hagee has not yet decided whom he will support. Contrary to what is written, Hagee has never referred to Catholicism as a''godless theology of hate.'' When he used those words, Hagee was referring to general Christian anti-Semitism, not to any particular denomination.Further, the coverage asserts that Hagee has a poor relationship with the Catholic community.This is also untrue. Bill Donohue,the president of the Catholic League, very recently put out a press release entitled ''Pastor John Hagee Deserves Better Than False Accusations,'' in which he directly refutes such assertions.The article also grossly over simplifies a sermon Hagee gave concerning the Holocaust and the rise of modern Israel. While some took offense to the sermon, the coverage fails to mention that in Hagee's subsequent reconciliation with the Anti-Defamation League, it's national director, Abe Foxman,thanked Hagee, the founder of the largest pro-Israel group in America, for having ''devoted [his]life to combating anti-Semitism and supporting the State of Israel.''
