It is time for the Geinch to fold his tent and steal away into the night. Unless he does just that very soon, Mitt Romney will win the nomination. I, for one, will not vote for Romney.

Rick himself is not in Opus Dei, but they’ll try to tar him for his home church being one of the places it carried on. It never preached anything particularly startling to the external world, but voluntarily underwent special rigors for its own in the belief that this would help them live in a more godly fashion.

"St. Catherine also has ties to Opus Dei,...encourages members to knit their Catholic faith with policy-making. Many members of St. Catherine belong to Opus Dei,...Opus Dei priests still regularly hear confession at St. Catherine...Santorum...has numerous connections to the group. In 2002, he travelled to Rome with high-profile American members for the 100th birthday of Opus Dei’s founder..."

So that's why he voted in favor of so much funding for anti-family feminist causes. It's in his voting record.

I don’t recall the New Republic being very curious about Obama’s “church” or Rev. Wright’s brand of “liberation theology” or any of that stuff, but Rick Santorum’s “radical Catholicism” is sure to get a thorough vetting, I betcha.

To me, I see Santorum as one of those so called “perfect” Catholics to the his faith only Though to action,. he is one that rides the fence to what the public opinion tells him to do; which helps him. Like he supported Title 10 and Title 20 (he supported and was against both issues that he claims that he is strong for; pro life/very confusing. I don’t know why the people who support him cannot see he is not being truthful to a conviction of pro life.

I know Santorum was pro-abortion before running for office, but has Santorum ever explained why he was in support of removing the pro-life plank from the party platform in 1996?

This Southern, evangelical peckerwood has no problems with Opus Dei. Try again.

St. Catherine also has ties to Opus Dei, an extremely conservative organization that encourages members to knit their Catholic faith with policy-making.

This is not true. Opus Dei does not focus on politics either within the Church or in government as far as I have understood it. It is more of a halfwaypoint between being a normal parish member of the church, and being completely dedicated to the Church as a monk or nun. Opus Dei fills a need for Catholics who want more from their Catholic life, but live in the secular world with families and jobs of their own.
