In Santorum? We see what Jesus warned about: a "false prophet"; a religious "hypocrite."

For example?

Ricky often claims to follow the Catholic Church, and with it, to oppose "abortion." In fact, that's one of his core positions and issues.

Yet, though allegedly he and his wife oppose abortion? Santorum's wife Karen herself, as recently reported in the Daily Mail, lived with an abortion doctor, for many, many years.

Then more recently? His wife recently assured us women have nothing to fear from Ricky in the matter of contraception.

So what should real Christians and Catholics say or think, about Rick Santorum and his alleged faith?

We should say this: Jesus warned us that the religious conservatives of his own time - the Pharisees - were "hypocrites." And indeed they are. To this very day.

Ricky? Claims to be Catholic ... but the Church opposes contraception. Then? He opposes ABORTION

Lots and lots of problems with this statement by yet another clueless, hypocritical Republican wifey.

But among others:

1) The Church opposes contraception; is Rick breaking with the church?

2) Ricky often opposes at least "abortion." In fact, that's one of his core positions and issues. Abortion is a form of contraception.

3) Though on the face of things the two oppose abortion? Karen herself, as recently reported in the Daily Mail, lived with an abortion doctor, for many, many years.
