Nope. Not kidding. If you thought Karl Rove's
comments were incendiary, perhaps now is a good time to revisit this 2002 comment from Sen. Rick Santorum. From a column for
Catholic Online:
It is startling that those in the media and academia appear most disturbed by this aberrant behavior, since they have zealously promoted moral relativism by sanctioning "private" moral matters such as alternative lifestyles. Priests, like all of us, are affected by culture. When the culture is sick, every element in it becomes infected. While it is no excuse for this scandal, it is no surprise that Boston, a seat of academic, political and cultural liberalism in America, lies at the center of the storm.
So besides terrorism and church sex abuse, what else is there for we liberals to be blamed for?
