U.S. Senator Brownback and Commentator Dick Morris Join Catholic Church

WASHINGTON, Jun 28, 02 (CWNews.com) — Senator Sam Brownback of Kansas was received into the Catholic Church on Thursday.

Senator Brownback, who was raised on a family farm in Kansas, entered the legal profession, then was elected to the US House of Representatives in 1994. Two years later, he was elected to fill the Senate seat that became vacant when Bob Dole became Vice President.

Senator Brownback was received into the Catholic Church in a ceremony at the Catholic Information Center in Washington. His sponsor was another Republican lawmaker, Senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania. The Kansas lawmaker, who had been affiliated with the Methodist Church, is married and the father of 5 children.

I knew about the Senator but I hadn't heard about Dick Morris. Interesting!

[ex-snook]

Interesting, I thought this usually happens at Easter Time.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

The methodist vote wasn't enough for him?

"he was elected to fill the Senate seat that became vacant when Bob Dole became Vice President."

Bob Dole was Vice President? I must have slept through that.

[onedoug]

Where are the records kept?

[hgro]

Quite a headline: "THE TOE SUCKER REPENTS"

[11th Commandment]

I have to question the accuracy article given the “Vice President Dole” statement. Follow the links and you cannot substantiate the Dick Morris conversion.

[Mike Petrik]

Dole was Gerald Ford's vice president. Of course you and Jaxter can be forgiven for not noticing; Ford slept through it too.

[TontoKowalski]

I hadn't heard about Dick Morris.

Does this mean that Hillary can't call him a FJB anymore?

[RightWingNut]

I believe Neslon Rockefeller was Ford's vice-president. Dole was his running mate as VP when he lost to Carter in 1976.

[Petronski]

Is Dick Morris therefore pro-life, or is he one of 'those' Catholics?

Former Clinton Advisor Dick Morris Another Recent Convert

According to the Pro-Life Infonet, former Clinton advisor Dick Morris has also converted to Catholicism. Monsignor James Lisante, director of The Christophers, spoke at the National Right to Life convention in Pittsburgh of recent discussions he had with Morris.

Morris, who engineered President Bill Clinton's 1996 re-election campaign and found himself the butt of jokes after he was caught with a prostitute, "made a significant change in his life recently," Monsignor Lisante said, "and has re-evaluated his faith and deeds following a conversion to Catholicism."

As a Clinton advisor, Morris told Lisante he had "fallen into a pit of moral relativism" and began making decisions, like Clinton, based on immoral personal satisfaction. But now he has turned his life over to Christ in the Roman Catholic Church.

"The Kansas lawmaker, who had been affiliated with the Methodist Church..."

Anything to get away from the Clintons....

[Polycarp]

Good question, only time will tell:

As a Clinton advisor, Morris told Lisante he had "fallen into a pit of moral relativism" and began making decisions, like Clinton, based on immoral personal satisfaction. But now he has turned his life over to Christ in the Roman Catholic Church.

[Notwithstanding]

No, Rockefeller was.

Dole was his runningmate, however.

[Canticle_of_Deborah]

Nah, he's still ethnically Jewish but it gives Hillary a whole new category of slurs to use!

[Salvation]

Wow! Over a year ago.

No wonder Dick Morris has changed so much!

[nickcarraway]

``you people...''
