10 Catholic Teachings Santorum(Google It) Rejects While Obsessing About Birth Control [View all]

http://www.alternet.org/story/154122/10_catholic_teachings_conservatives_reject_while_obsessing_about_birth_control/

1. So for instance, Pope John Paul II was against anyone going to war against Iraq I think you’ll find that Rick Santorum managed to ignore that Catholic teaching.

2.The Conference of Catholic Bishops requires that health care be provided to all Americans. I.e., Rick Santorum’s opposition to universal health care is a betrayal of the Catholic faith he is always trumpeting.

3. The Catholic Church opposes the death penalty for criminals in almost all situations. (Santorum largely supports executions.)

4. The US Conference of Bishops has urged that the federal minimum wage be increased, for the working poor. Santorum in the Senate repeatedly voted against the minimum wage.

5. The bishops want welfare for all needy families...

I am not a fan of the Catholic Church but I agree with them on all 10 of these views.
