When the spiritual head of Christendom opposes the war you wish to launch, you take his opposition very seriously.

I read that post. I think the logic on Santorium is pretyy flawed. But to be honest the hyprocracy on that blog is applaing. While they talk about how some catholics are selective, I notice that site has a link to the very racist VDARE and other groups that are working against any Catholic understanding of how to put Christ in our immigration laws. As a conservative Republican that saw Catholic Senators like Sen Brownback crucifyed by them I take there moralizing with a grain of salt
