I seem to recall he has been diagnosed with cancer, so maybe that would fit the bill, although I wouldnt wish such a thing on anyone.

Wallis is one of a number of Christian leaders who signed the "Covenant for Civility", a document deploring the growing polarization in American politics. I find this rather bizarre, as he is one of the most divisive figures on the scene at the moment - his activities certainly encourage and deepen that divide. As you say, there is nothing wrong with disagreeing with someone politically, and even with being passionate in expressing your dissent - maybe even shouting - but there should be no place for the kind of personal insult and attack that is such a feature of modern politics. Wallis is not the only person who almost always ascribes malicious motives to those who oppose him, but its something he does far too often.

I cant get my head round that either. If you think someone is wrong, you can argue the point with them. If you think they are the devil, that is never going to happen.
