Use some abstract thinking skills. I meant it in an ironic way; much in the same way that many Catholics are being brainwashed into liberalism by the Catholic church.
I’m skeptical of candidates who are only socially conservative too. The Catholic church is marching to the tune of big gubmint statism at their own and our peril. I see where you are coming from. But here is the story from your link:
The Family Leader, a conservative Christian organization based in Iowa, wants all the GOP candidates to sign their pledge, entitled “The Marriage Vow — A Declaration of Dependence Upon Marriage and Family.” The vow asks candidates to affirm a pro-marriage stance, oppose same-sex unions, defines homosexuality as a “choice” (stating there is no empirical scientific proof that being gay is genetic), and notes that marriage is undermined by adulterous factors like quickie divorces and pornography.
I’m not a Santorum supporter yet, but let’s be fair. Signing a pledge saying something is “bad” is a far cry from using the power of the state to ban it.
