Rick Santorum: An Evangelical Catholic


Rick Santorum is getting some love from a major Catholic Group. Read below from CNN:

CatholicVote.org, which bills itself as a non-partisan grassroots lobbying organization of "committed Catholics," threw its weight behind the rising Republican presidential hopeful, saying he was the candidate best equipped to win "the political arguments."

quot;Catholic voters are looking for a candidate who can successfully combine the principles of the dignity of life and the dignity of work. Senator Santorum understands better than any other candidate the profound link between the moral, cultural and economic principles foundational to the success of America," the group's president Brian Burch said in a statement.

With more than 600,000 members on its email list, the group has mostly endorsed Republicans in the past, including Sen. John McCain of Arizona during the Republican presidential primary in 2008.

Rick Santorum may technically not call himself an evangelical but he is definitely one when it comes to social issues. So don’t get too caught up in the title of “Roman Catholic.” Santorum is an evangelical at heart.

In all Religions there is some good people and some not so good
Rick Santorum is a good man
I am happy of his success
I would like Gingrich and Santorum at the top
One President the other Vice President.
I am sure they would try their best for America and I hope my wish comes true in 2012
Let's Obama go on a long vacation
taking money often from good hard working people
to bail out others..he must be very tired

I WISH THEY WOULD CLARIFY WHAT THEY FEEL THE DIFFERENCE IS. SOME PEOPLE CALL THEMSELVES CHRISTIAN AND THEY DON'T EVEN BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST OR THEY DON'T BELIEVE HE IS THE SON OF GOD JUST A PROPHET. MAJOR DIFFERENCE. I BELIEVE WE NEED A BORN AGAIN SPIRIT FILLED PRESIDENT THAT HEARS GOD'S VOICE. SO FAR SANTORUM HASN'T CONVINCED ME THAT HE KNOWS GOD'S WORD OR HARKENS TO HIS VOICE. HE IS BETTER THAN ROMNEY ANY DAY AND THREE TIMES ON SUNDAY. I WAS RAISED A CATHOLIC AND WE WEREN'T MUCH BIBLE.
