Texas megachurch pastor John Hagee, who endorsed presidential candidate Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and drew sharp criticism for comments critics called anti-Catholic, has written a letter expressing "deep regret" for causing any harm.

Hagee, who leads Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, was harshly criticized by Bill Donohue of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights and Democratic National Committee officials.

What should appear on this page is the homily Bishop Thomas Gumbleton preached on Pentecost Sunday. Unfortunately, a technical glitch means that the homily was not recorded and so no transcript could be made.

As it happens, we do have a transcript and recording of a Pentecost homily by Jesuit Fr. John Dear. You can read the transcript and listen to the recording by following this link: The Pentecost of peace.

A homily by Bishop Gumbleton will appear next week.
