Fernando Ferrer, an anti-Catholic Catholic (a leftover from Wednesday)

Ferrer is so hostile to the Catholic Church that he has no apology for lying in his own blog that he attended public schools when he attended Catholic schools including Cardinal Spellman High School.

Fibbing Fernando : Daily News

Fernando Ferrer was caught yesterday in a grade-school error - falsely claiming on his campaign Web site he was a product of public schools.
The former Catholic schoolboy quickly pulled the flub from the Internet but not before Mayor Bloomberg's aides made sure he was taught a campaign lesson he'll never forget.
"If Freddy Ferrer can't be trusted to get the facts right about his own schooling, why should voters believe anything he says about education policy?" thundered Bill Cunningham, a senior Bloomberg campaign adviser.

another Daily News background story

from an anonymous Blauvelt Dominican Sister.

Bill Donohue of the Catholic League has a critique of Ferrer that looks an awful like a Bloomberg endorsement.

This is not the first time that Freddy-the-Faker-Ferrer has turned his back on Catholics. In 1996-97, when Mayor Rudy Giuliani floated the idea that one way to stem overcrowding in the public schools was to send students to Catholic schools, the Faker went mad. No doubt he would be just as mad to learn that his challenger, incumbent Mayor Michael Bloomberg, is a contributor to the Catholic Schools Foundation.

Since term limits prevent Bloomberg from running again for mayor in 2009. The way the election cycles work, the next spot he could run for would be to oppose Schumer, or whoever is governor in 2010.

Episcopal Church self-destruct sequence watch: "abandoned the Communion"

Support for charges against Bishop Andrew Smith : Anglican Communion Network

Bishop Andrew Smith declared that some pastors were "not in Communion" and conducted a putsch on their parishes complete with intimidating thugs.

This was a gutsy roll of the dice for the gay takeover of the ECUSA. If they win here, no priest and no parish will be free to dissent: Resistence is futile as the old Star Trek show would put it.

On the other hand, if this is reversed, it will be a lifeboat for the Episcopalians who cling to their own traditions which until a few years ago included a condemnation of homosexuality.
