WASHINGTON (May 13) - John Hagee, an influential Texas televangelist who endorsed John McCain, apologized to Catholics Tuesday for his stinging criticism of the Roman Catholic Church and for having "emphasized the darkest chapters in the history of Catholic and Protestant relations with the Jews."
Hagee's support for McCain has drawn cries of outrage from some Catholic leaders who have called on McCain to reject Hagee's endorsement. The likely Republican nominee has said he does not agree with some of Hagee's past comments, but did not reject his support.

From the limited facts, here's my two cents.
Broseph is totally being a selfish ass. But PP created the rift, and it's really up to PP to fix it. Tell PP to get in touch with Broseph and work this shit out. PP needs to man up and take the punch or whatever he's got coming to him.

Some people don't let go of a grudge. Ever.

I doubt that the kind of person who would refuse to come to his brother's wedding over a disagreement with someone else would accept an apology. But, PP should do it anyway.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

It wasn't just a disagreement though, he doesn't want to hang out with the guy who nailed his girlfriend.
I think Broseph is being a bit over the top with "him or me at the wedding" since its been a decade -- but I can understand him still disliking the guy and really not wanting to be around him.

In my experience, real apologies (less "sorry, dude get over it", and more, "dude, I was an asshole. there's no excuse. if you have to hate me forever, I understand. But what I did has always bothered me and I wanted you to know that. I hope one day we can be cool again") can break a grudge big time. Sometimes.

He doesn't have to. It's a wedding. There will be plenty of other people there. It's not like asking him to a dinner party with 6 people.

but only if the person being apologized to is receptive. Doesn't sound that way to me. But, maybe I'm underestimating Broseph.
