Santorum invokes the teachings of the Catholic faith only when it is convenient to his particular platform.Catholicism does teach peace and John Paul 2 spoke out against the debacle that was the Iraqi war.To most Catholics " pro-life "also means anti death penalty which makes Santorum's myopic description of George W as the first "real Catholic president" patently absurd.I'd also point out that nearly 60% of Roman Catholics voted for Obama in 2008.If by some chance this pinhead ends up in the White House it could set Catholicism back in the US. as badly as the reign of Queen Mary Tudor did in England for the last few centuries.I would also argue that at least at the start of her reign her intentions were good..Santorum not so much.
