(CNA) The Republican presidential candidate, Mike Huckabee, has been garnering attention in the media with his surge in political polls. However, a campaign stop this Sunday by http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=2585 at a mega-church whose pastor sees Hitler as linked to the Catholic Church, could soon steal the spotlight.

According to Mike Huckabee’s campaign website, the controversial stop at Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, Texas will take place this Sunday, December 23. He will speak at the church’s two Sunday services at 8:30 and 11:00 a.m.

The Catholic League’s president, Bill Donahue, told CNA that the pastor of the church, Rev. John http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=107, is militantly anti-Catholic.

As the senior pastor of Cornerstone, Rev. Hagee is best known for his “End-Time” writing but also focuses on bringing evangelical Protestants and Jews together.

The Catholic League asserts that John Hagee has another goal as well, “slandering the Catholic Church.”John Hagee’s Anti-Catholic Record

It’s not hard to find evidence that Rev. Hagee does not think highly of Catholics or the Catholic Church. In a video discussing the biblical book of Revelation, John Hagee suggests the Pope is the anti-Christ, and that the Catholic Church is “The Beast” (17:30 and following) mentioned in the book.

Another cause for concern is the pastor’s latest book “Jerusalem Countdown”, which has recently been revised and updated. “Though most of his rantings in this book are directed at Muslims, he just can’t help but take another shot at Catholicism,” says Donahue.
