It seems to me that Santorum can and should be free to defend this evil as he sees fit. But his defense of torture is far, far more scandalous to the Catholic church than any liberal Catholic politician's views on, say, same-sex marriage or contraception. It is he who has made his faith integral to his public life. Yet he defends the equivalent of crucifixion for prisoners under his potential command.

When, one wonders, will Catholics hear a letter from the pulpit on the vital question of torture - and the support for it from a leading Catholic candidate for the presidency?

Torture is not new to the religious community. To say tricky Rickie is pro torture is to grant him an indulgence for his past sins. Those that talk to Beelzebub are usually subjected to exorcism. But being that he converses with God on a regular basis it frees him to apostatize.

Santorum would have been right at home during the Inquisition.

Little Ricky knows all too well about "torture."
That's just not what he calls it when he's being flogged by his wife in his gimp suit....

Well, I consider that he is a little too engrossed with sex, so he must be a practitioner of every type and style. He sure talks like he does.
And of course, he could be ordering his wife to do the flogging...... :)

I'd say his obsession with other people's private sex lives boarders on psychotic.
