Leonard Pitts, Jr. is, dare I say, en fuego*

His latest column is available here, and it’s a good one. For the record, the Miami Herald’s title is “Reject intolerance cloaked in faith”. For me, the money quote is this:

Some did, at least. Ours is still an era wherein war, hatred and intolerance often wear a clerical collar. As Lawson puts it, “Much of Christianity in the United States has been more influenced by violence and sexism and racism and greed than by the teachings of Jesus.”

Indeed.

* With apologies to former ESPN sportscaster Dan Patrick.
