Santorum: The Democratic Party Is About ‘Homosexuality’

92. Of course, if it's true that he's Opus Dei ...

... they have their own very special kind of "magic underpants."

Rick denies being a member, of course -- and with all those kids it doesn't seem like he could be a numerary -- but I wouldn't be surprised if he found that whole cilice bit just too alluring to resist. Especially at only $69.

Rick Santorum sent two of his sons to a Washington, D.C. all-boys school affiliated with Opus Dei, the Catholic group whose members were portrayed as sinisterly weird in the sensationalistic Da Vinci Code but in reality only engage in some mild self-mutilation, "nothing traumatic," as the group's website says. Santorum says he's not a member of Opus Dei, though he did go to Rome in 2002 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of its founding, and he belongs to the St. Catherine of Siena Parish, "a favorite of Opus Dei," the Washington Post says. Opus Dei has about 90,000 members, a third of which are "numeraries" who are celibate for life and wear a cilice -- a garter belt with spikes turned toward the skin -- every day. (The group is often criticized as elitist, but you can find a "three link, 1mm gauge, full-leg metal cilice with metal fastener" on sale for an affordable $69.)
