Wouldn't he be a flip-flopper though if he did that?
It would have to take place well ahead of the fact.
It would have to be a conscientious change of heart on a subject about which he had previously had a different opinion. And then there would have to be consistency and an ability to articulate his position.
I'm guessing he's a Catholic. If so, it SHOULD be something that he reconsiders. He's out of step with his own religion.
