The occasional, often ill-considered thoughts of a Roman Catholic permanent deacon who is ever grateful to God for his existence. Despite the strangeness we encounter in this life, all the suffering we witness and endure, being is good, so good I am sometimes unable to contain my joy. Deo gratias!

Brit Hume, Profile in Courage

Brit Hume, the senior Fox Network newsman and commentator, made a remarkable on-air comment a few days ago when he suggested that Tiger Woods embrace the Christian faith because only through Christianity could he receive the forgiveness he needs. As you might expect, the secular humanists were apoplectic, accusing him of about every worldly transgression imaginable. (In the words of one wag, Hume violated the "separation of church and television.") The video clip below is of Hume on Bill O'Reilly's show in which he expands on his comments. The clip also includes Hume's original statement on Fox News Sunday.




The following link will take you to an excellent commentary on Hume and his courageous statements that appeared on Catholic Online (www.catholic.org):
