Illinois bishops condemn Left Behind books

This story from a couple weeks ago seems to have fallen through the LISNews cracks: Bishops warn Catholics about "Left Behind" books.

"The books are actually anti-Catholic," says an associate director of the Catholic Conference of Illinois.

"Instead of being critical of what we\’re doing, [the bishops] should face the fact that, for once, there\’s a best-selling series of books that doesn\’t shock their sense of moral values, doesn\’t use profanity and doesn\’t denigrate Jesus Christ," says Left Behind co-author Tim LaHaye.

"Don\’t make me come down there!" says God. (Okay, that one\’s not in the article. A little Day-After-Father\’s-Day humor.)
