So most religious politicians pick and mix their supposed "divine" beliefs to back up their preconceived thoughts. Who'd have thunk it?
(And yes lefty religionists do this as well. It's a two way street. Still intensely amusing to see people like Sicoko Santorum suddenly lose his pious warbling when it comes in conflict with the donors)
Faith in climate change is not a doctrine of the Roman Catholic Church. If Francis publicly proclaimed his preference for Pepsi over Coca-Cola, Catholics would not be obliged to drink it.
I wonder how Jeb Bush squares his record of executing prisoners with the Catholic Church's stance opposing the death penalty. Issues of life and death, even of condemned murderers, ARE matters of faith and morals, are they not? I would like to hear Jeb, Santorum, and Paul Ryan explain their support of the death penalty in light of their stated Catholicism. (I concede that pro-choice Catholics are full of it, so . . .)
