Fox News' unbalanced priest blasts Dems as unbiblical

It's almost not worth the effort to post this clip, but the mix of inane religious commentary and simple-minded partisanship reveals how the religious-right politicizes faith. In this footage Father Jonathan Morris, a member of the Legion of Christ, a right-wing order close to some of Latin America's wealthiest families, offers up mostly political advice cloaked in his cloth. Hardly a representative of religious or even Catholic opinion, Fr. Morris' Legionaries, whose founder was recently accused of sexual abuse, are not allowed to recruit in several American dioceses.

In all, Fox's religion "expert" provides an unbalanced religious perspective rushing to attack the Dem platform while failing to mention it's similarities to Rudy Giuliani's. But that's what happens when one puts title before truth.
