Pope Still Hurting People in the Name of Jesus, Says Obama Advisor

Harry Knox, who serves on President Barack Obama’s Advisory Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, is standing by a statement he made last March that Pope Benedict XVI is “hurting people in the name of Jesus.”

Not exactly breaking news, but I missed the story the first time around. Knox’s unrepentant ignorance and hubris is simply astonishing.
