Santorum is running for President...not for Pope Linda. His verbal statements on social issues are so far right he will offend those who are independents as well as libertarians....and those who are not of the Catholic faith...that's just a fact. You cannot insult peoples faith as a candidate and that's exactly what he is doing in this article including those of his own fatih....so he's making himself look extrodinarily self-righteous and above all else.

This is not new to those of us in Pa. which is one of the reasons people voted him out...he offended many and has an arrogance that does not quite unless he's running for office...even then you will see it slither out as we are seeing more of in his stage presence.

“Santorum is running for President...not for Pope Linda”

He was talking about Obama’s environmentalism not his Christianity. You sound like the the people who were afraid of Kennedy 50 years ago.

Reagan was an evangelical who knew how to talk to Catholics, because his father and brother were Catholics. Santorum is what is sometimes called an evangelical Catholics, in part because he has been influenced by evangelical converts to Catholicism, such as Scott Hahn, who are very heavy int the Scriptures. But also by the pope. Read the pope’s “Jesus of Nazareth,” in two volumes so far, and it is one long meditation on Christ as seen in the Gospels. Once upon a time, the Church really did not trust lay Catholics to read the Bible. but that began to change under Pius XII in 1942. In my first Bible, that pope provided for a plenary indulgence for reading the Bible fifteen minutes a day.
