Santorum's faith-based initiative

[Rose Siding]

Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) has organized a course for members of Congress on Catholic doctrine that is being taught from his Senate hideaway in the Capitol.
The senator’s move comes at a time when members of both major political parties are talking more freely about their faith.

Santorum has brought in the Rev. Michael Sliney, a local priest, to oversee the course, which seeks to broaden the members’ understanding of Catholicism during the weeks leading up to Easter.

“It’s one of the great things,” Santorum said in a telephone interview, when asked why he had organized the course. “We have great freedom of religion. It’s an opportunity for those in a tough town in a place that can in a sense drive you to things that are not consistent with your faith. Having a little support group is a good thing.”

In a February letter inviting a select group of members to attend the courses, Santorum wrote, “I believe that this will be a great opportunity to discuss our faith and to create greater unity between the Catholic members of the House and Senate.”

2. Kerry

is a practicing Catholic, is he invited?

4. No

cause he's a baby killing homo kisser!!! So there! I think the MOST outrageous thing in the campaign was when they tried to get Kerry excommunicated. That is serious stuff and I really can't think of anything worse than trying to get a guy kicked out of his reliegion and supposedly condemned to hell for political gain!

Is Casey Catholic, I take it? What's Santorum, probably satanist that never goes to church like GW, but what does he pretend to be?
