My religious faith has also had a profound effect on my politics but I'm talking about the dependablity of trying to rely on what candidates say about their faith as being relative to making a decision as to whom to vote for.

What about Kennedy, Pelosi, Kerry, Harkin, and a whole host of other extremely liberal so-called "Catholics" who do not practice the Catholic beliefs at all and most do not care one way or the other.

Just keep redistributing the wealth.

What politicians SAY and what they DO have historically and frequently been at odds.... their religious affiliations notwithstanding.

Many people understand that, though Nancy Pelosi calls herself Catholic, she does not follow the Teachings of the Church. This is, unfortunately the case with others as well....including those who simply call themselves “Christians” (think Obama). This is due in great part to the evil of relativism.

However, many sincere religious people make decisions based on their beliefs. Therefore we need to be careful not to categorically state that “it has been proven...that....they do not.”

Marco Rubio is a case in point. I don’t know why he is (or IF he is) no longer attending the Catholic Church. However, I am convinced that he is a good man, a moral man and is informed in his decision-making by Christ. As a Catholic, I will, of COURSE, pray for him to return to the fullness of the faith (if it be the case that he is away), leaving my request in God’s hands. In the meantime, Rubio’s perspective on what is good for this nation is excellent and I will also pray for his success and wisdom in the Senate....and that he and the rest will be protected from the pervasive cultural influence of DC.
