Santorum's bungle
The New York Times is rarely one to moralize, and I'm skeptical as a rule whenever they start digging into ecclesiastical politics. But they've exposed a major problem here. Rick Santorum, a Pennsylvanian senator who is normally as close to St. Thomas More as American Catholic politicians ever get, has played Judas Iscariot to the Catholic pro-life movement this week, stabbing a conservative abortion foe in the back in exchange for thirty pieces of silver from the abortion-loving Arlen Specter. This infuriated me as much as it surprised me, especially when it gives the New York Times a welcome opportunity to point out the inconsistencies and contradictions which have become an expected part of the pro-life movement in American politics.
