He wants the Catholic interpretation of the Bible to be the law of the land...in other words Rick Santorum and all that think like him are traitors to the US Constitution and to the United States of America.

What I find ironic is that the Protestant churches that appear to support him have in the past often equated the Catholic church with being a cult...now they would put a Papist in the White House instead of a Mormon who hasn't quite yet decided to hop on the carzy train!

This is a perfect reason why religion and politics should always remain separated...as if history didn't have enough examples!
