The other thing I really like about Santorum is that his faith appears to be the genuine article. If he talks about the sanctity of life, he means it. Nitpicking from Ron Paul aside. He strikes me as a guy who'd go down in flames as a pro-life hero with 30% of the vote in a re-election bid if he had to. Even the things I strongly dislike about Santorum are distinctively Catholic, and thus, Christian. As a side note, I think the bishops could stand to do even more thinking about capitalism and whether a freer version of it really is as dehumanizing as they seem to suggest. In any case though, it's more than clear that Santorum's view of government is a mainstream (if misguided) Catholic one.
