A Look at the Hypocrisy of Senator Rick Santorum and Some of His ultra-Orthodox Enablers.

My series on the Catholic Right continues on Talk to Action.

He (Senator Rick Santorum) told NCR that a distinction between private religious conviction and public responsibility, enshrined in John Kennedy's famous speech in 1960 saying he would not take orders from the Catholic church if elected president, has caused "much harm in America."
"All of us have heard people say, `I privately am against abortion, homosexual marriage, stem cell research, cloning. But who am I to decide that it's not right for somebody else?' It sounds good," Santorum said. "But it is the corruption of freedom of conscience."
Santorum told NCR that he regards George W. Bush as "the first Catholic president of the United States."
"From economic issues focusing on the poor and social justice, to issues of human life, George Bush is there," he said. "He has every right to say, `I'm where you are if you're a believing Catholic.'"--National Catholic Reporter, January 18, 2002

No Senator Santorum, George W. Bush is not "there." And contrary to the spin generated by many of your friends, neither are you.

If any one race this year proves that for those on the Catholic Right are more concerned with preserving the superfluous wealth of the few and not with the well being of the many, just look at this year's U.S. Senate race in Pennsylvania.
