Santorum: Fear the guillotine

Just over the past couple of days, Santorum argued that evidence from climate scientists are an elaborate "hoax"; he said President Obama may force Roman Catholic churches to hire women priests; and he argued gas prices "caused the housing bubble to burst."

Bridget Mary's Reflection:
Talking about bizarre,  this comment by Santorum is clearly over the top! But it sure does appear that the bishops and Santorum are on the same page about women priests. We are  among their worst nightmares, along with contraceptive coverage for women! I believe I see a pattern here, do you? Power and control over women's bodies and sexuality, sexism, patriarchy.....

Santorum should check his facts, and not create fables to further his own ends.
Facts:
1-Obama has never indicated he would force the Catholic Church to hire women priests.
2-The Federal government bars suits brought on behalf of ministers against their churches (see HOSANNA-TABOR)
3-The First Amendment provides assures that the government will have no role in filling ecclesiastical offices
and finally
4-The respected Zogby poll commissioned by Jesuit priests reveal that 53 percent of Catholics want the Catholic Church to ordain women priests
