I am in agreement with you that homosexuality is a sin.

However, I do not agree that if someone employs a homosexual, they are endorsing the sin.

Santorum has also been rather outspoken about his belief that the use of birth control is wrong. Is he a hypocrite if any of the people in his office use birth control?

I am sure he is against adultery as well. Do you condemn Santorum if one of his staff members has an affair?

Now, if you have other problems with Santorum, that's a different matter.

But everybody sins, and the vast majority of people are habitual, practicing sinners. Are you saying Santorum is a hypocrite if he has anything to do with people?

Think Christ would employ a non repentant homosexual as one of His disciples? I doubt it. He'd try to change him but Santorum claims to be against it yet when a homosexual can better him in some way, he's quick to throw those public "principles" out the window.

"Santorum has also been rather outspoken about his belief that the use of birth control is wrong. Is he a hypocrite if any of the people in his office use birth control?"

This is NOT about "birth control". This is about endorsing homosexuality. No topic switching. BTW, I don't have a problem with birth control. Most Catholics don't either so it's a non issue.

"I am sure he is against adultery as well. Do you condemn Santorum if one of his staff members has an affair? "

Again, this topic is about homosexuality. Putting a homosexual in a postion of authority when Santorum states he is AGAINST homosexuality, well except when it can BEBEFIT him. It's called selective hypocrisy.

Yaawwwwnnn - I wish you could stay on topic. Atleast someone having an affair is attracted to the proper gender. Homosexuals can't even get THAT right.

"Now, if you have other problems with Santorum, that's a different matter."

He's a hypocrite.

"But everybody sins, and the vast majority of people are habitual, practicing sinners. Are you saying Santorum is a hypocrite if he has anything to do with people?"

Sure people do. Santorum claims to be Mr. Family man with godly values etc, but when it comes to bettering himself, he'll resort to anything - including using an immoral homosexual. As far as I know, not EVERYONE IS a HOMOSEXUAL so in my book, he can utilize other people without resorting the EXTREME you present:

"Santorum is a hypocrite if he has anything to do with people?"

Why is it people like you can NOT stay on topic, homosexuality and have to drag in everything but the kitchen sink to mitigate the glaring hypocrisy that is going on with him? So sad.

I agree with the points you made. At the same time, I personally would not hire a homosexual to be in a position as Santorum has especially being in the public eye. From my viewpoint, a person unrepentently engaged in grievous sin should not be given a highly trustworthy position. Doesn't mean I hate the person, in fact, I might love the person very much.

How a person behaves in his or her "personal" life affects the rest of their life as well.

But I don't fault Santorum; I don't condemn each and every individual who does things a tiny bit differently from the way I would do them. Santorum is a principled man, and most of the things I've read about him seem very good. I admit I was disgusted with his support of Specter, though. Still nauseates me when I think of it.
