Maybe Damon Linker can tell us how he's sure that there is no illness; this is all part of Neuhaus's fiendish theocon plot.
Prayers of course. I've no doubt they'd come from Damon Linker as well.
Maybe "The Man From K Street" will develop enough courage to post his ill-informed accusations under his own name instead of under a cowardly pseudonym.
But I doubt it.
May the Lord bless and comfort His servant Father Neuhaus.
I hope the Lord will comfort him. He is a great writer and priest.
Let us pray.

Done. Please pray also for my friend Paulette, whose 'arrested' cancer came out slugging last week, in which case she is sched to begin radical chemo all over again. God bless us all in 2009. Amen
While I deeply disagree with Fr. Neuhaus' politics and theology, I will certainly keep him in my prayers for health and healing.
Thanks for posting this.
May God preserve him. Our differences do not matter in the face of this.
Andrew Sullivan names Fr. Neuhaus the "Theocon in Chief" because he thinks Fr. Neuhaus is some Black Legend-like Darth Vader/Torquemada advocating an anti-homosexual, anti-abortion political agenda and wants the churches (particularly the Catholic Church) to decide the legal status of all such issues, as well as foreign policy.
I think Sullivan's notion here is over the top.
