Santorum is always talking about his religion and what a good Catholic he is. I am a Catholic and I believe that old song that says "You can tell I'm a Christian by my love". Christians don't have to keep talking about how good a Christian they are if it is so it will show. Most of us can surely tell that Santorum is a politician by his actions but we only know WHAT HE SAYS about how good a Christian he is. Do good Christians have to keep telling people how good they are and do they have to infer through their rhetoric that they are better Christians than their opponents? Rick is over playing the "I am a good Christian" card to the point of people asking who is he trying to convince the voting public or himself. His political aspirations have been obvious for years and much more apparent in his actions than his Christianity.
Santorum has chosen to go down a very dangerous road....one filled with many pitfalls. As a fellow Catholic, shall I remind him how our Church may differ with his partisan stance?
Did our Church support the invasion of Iraq? No
Does our Church support the death penalty? No.
Does our Church favor taking care of the poor? Yes.
Does our Church provide health insurance to the needy? Yes.
Using our Church, Rick, to advance your election, is a bad idea. We are a country of mixed beliefs, and, your words and your use of religion in policy debates is completely irresponsible.
People that wear their religion on their sleeve make me somewhat skeptical of their honesty and truthfulness. Politicians that attach the faith of others make me sick of listening to them. Shut up hypocrite!
