It wasnt Jenkys only comparison. He also took after Catholic politicians who do not follow dictates from the Church hierarchy, saying: May God have mercy especially on the souls of those politicians who pretend to be Catholic in church, but in their public lives, rather like Judas Iscariot, betray Jesus Christ by how they vote and how they willingly cooperate with intrinsic evil. Lonnie Nasatir, regional director of the Anti-Defamation League in Chicago, asked Jenky to apologize and described the bishops homily as outrageous, offensive and completely over the top. Clearly Bishop Jenky needs a history lesson, said Nasatir. There are few, if any, parallels in history to the religious intolerance and anti-Semitism fostered by Stalin, and especially Hitler, who under his regime perpetuated the open persecution and ultimate genocide of Jews, Catholics and many other minorities. The Tribune could not reach Jenky for comment. The conservative wing of the Catholic hierarchy has taken to denouncing the press as part of what it claims is an assault on religious liberty in America. Seattles Catholic Archbishop J. Peter Sartain was previously bishop of the neighboring Joliet, Ill., diocese. Posted by Joel Connelly on April 19, 2012 at 2:42 pm Source:
