"Christiandar"
23 November 2004
John Bogert, columnist for a California paper, Daily Breeze, goes to see Billy Graham: "A couple of weeks ago I was stopped by a nice, smiling, inner-peace-loudly-showing couple wanting to know if I planned to see the Rev. Billy Graham's Rose Bowl revival. Actually, I was...But you know how some people say that they have 'gaydar,' the ability to spot gays a mile off? Well, I have 'Christiandar.'...The couple handing me the Billy Graham materials both possessed 'Catholicdar,' the built-in ability to smell papists a mile off. Precisely because Catholics of my generation generally don't go around proclaiming their acceptance of Jesus Christ as our personal savior, that's usually the very first thing that comes up with people who want to save us from worshiping plaster statues and such. Only in this case it was the second thing that came up. When I joked, 'It would be nice to see the Rev. Graham while we're all alive,' the woman corrected, 'You mean, before we are all called home.'"
