Why I support Rick Santorum for president

Call me lazy but once in a while an article is so well written and throughly in sinc with your point of view all you can do is agree. Kudos Deacon Keith Fournier on this magnificent article on why Rick Santorum won the SC presidential debate and why he should be the Catholic candidate.
If for nothing else his stalwart defense of life and traditional marriage. Those are the non-negotiables of our Faith, everything else is subject to compromise.
He spoke with passion that day, confronting the empty words of an opponent defending the brutal procedure. Pointing to a picture of a baby being delivered he proclaimed "This is a baby Senator!" At that very moment a baby cried, filling the chamber with the sounds of life and delivering the most poignant defense of the truth about life I have ever heard. I will never forget the moment. His stalwart defense of life has only improved with age. So too have his skills as a communicator. His defense of marriage and the family and society founded upon it has been coherent and consistent. His unapologetic defense of the moral basis of a truly free society has been refreshing.

Those of us who are Catholics are taught that being a partial Christian is not enough. Senator Santorum is a partial Christian.

While he speaks and acts for the affirmation of the sacredness of life, he also promotes the toture of other human beings. He forsakes our God for what he perceives is valuable to his country.

The Holy Father has condemned torture. It is not debatable; it is not a situational "ethic".

We must live ALL of the Church's teachings, not just those that are politically beneficial.
