In a book written by Mr. Santorum in which he discusses the Catholic priest child abuse scandal as it broke in Boston in 2002, he says "It is no surprise that Boston, a seat of academic, political and cultural liberalism in America, lies in the center of the storm".
what eye thynk: So it is all the fault of liberalism; pedophile priests bear no blame at all? No Hail Marys or Our Fathers needed; just blame it on the liberals and keep on walking?
I was raised to think that men (and women) of God, no matter the sect, were people to look up to; people who were morally stronger than myself, people I could trust to sort through life's detritus and point me in the right direction.
If exposure to liberal thought can send a priest so far off the rail of human decency that he can abuse a child, then maybe we need to rethink who we teach our children to emulate.
And I would not want them to emulate a man like Mr. Santorum who is unable to look beyond blind loyalty to recognize true evil when it exists--even in the most conservative places.
two things jump out at me here: Santorum will say anything, And, The Church needs to stop (yes, they still do Mildred)covering up for their pedo Priests.
ReplyDeleteSantorum is a classic case of speaking and not thinking ~ either that, or he is just plain stupid.
And, Mama's take your children to church, dont send them.
Wow. I guess that goes along with the snob remark about kids having a chance to go to college. He believes that colleges are bastians of liberalism, just like the city of Boston. The colleges will destroy their conservative minds and turn them in to liberal thinking democrats. Wow.. .the horror!!
ReplyDeleteBetter yet, wow.. the stupidity.
At this point i do not understand how anyone who is not legally brain dead could possibly have anything to do with Santorum OR his political party or church. Role models for our children? Leaders of our country? I would not even trust any of them to feed my pet goldfish while i was away on vacation!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWe have to fight against the ignorance, fight the fear and greed that is overcoming our nation. But most of all, at home, we really need to teach our children to recognize what lying, self-serving bastards sound like and to think for themselves instead of being sheep. And we need to work hard at living the kind of lives that will provide children with good examples and real role models at home!
