I have attended Pastor Haggee's church for several years and he has NEVER phrased these words AT Catholics. In fact, because slander like this constantly makes the front pages he is quick to reiterate he is not aiming any of these phrases at Catholics. These are primarily descriptors found in the book of Revelations, and any pastor that preaches from the Bible will inevitably speak on this subject. I was in the service two weeks ago when he made this statement correcting what the media had dessiminated.

The reporter states that Pastor Hagee made comments that were offensive to Catholics, but when he is quoted Hagee actually says “I want to express my deep regret for any comments that Catholics have found hurtful.” Those phrases have been, due to historical events, offensive to Catholics, but they were not directed at them. He is apologizing for the sake of peace. You don't have to agree with evangelical Christianity to acknowledge the media manipulates our battles.
