Christopher Manion does a splendid job putting the Bishops' pickle in perspective over at Crisis magazine. I even say so in the comments, and then noted the pass prowar Catholics get... which in turn brought an instant troll response, see here:
How the war powers clause in the US Constitution relates to Catholic moral teaching is hard to perceive, but what is certainly clear is, whatever Iran's sins may be, under no circumstances is one ever allowed to do evil in response to evil.
So Let's look at Santorum in his own words...
"From a governmental point of view, I vote for contraception." He repeats his support of abortifacients, in violation of church moral teaching, in which he is automatically excommunicated. Santorum knows the church teaching on abortifacients, and he has voted for billions on this. So far Santorum gets a pass, along with the liberals, on this point.
So let's go to Santorum on war -
He repeats his support of murder, in violation of church moral teaching, in which he is automatically excommunicated. He hides behind tendentious arguments, just as pro-abortion people do. But note here, what the Chairman of the joints chiefs of staff, among others, has to say about the Iran "threat."
Wow. There is no threat. But people have been conditioned to believe otherwise, and politicians come along and position themselves to feed off ignorance and selfishness. The people in Pennsylvania got to know Santorum and overwhelmingly rejected him. His Bishop ought to get to know him.
If the Bishops are going to clean house, then they ought to take care of this other mess at the same time.
