However, beyond surprising is the unfortunate fact that someone of Santorum's stature would prove to be such a willing pawn in the strategy of the forces of militant atheism. One might have thought that this was simply an error in judgment on the part of Santorum. However, one would have thought wrong. In Santorum's article for Crisis, he reveals the extent of his invincible ignorance, when he pledges his future support for pro-abortion candidates. Part of the problem seems to be that Santorum apparently spends more time reading the philosophy espoused by one of the leading communitarian philosophers of our time than he does reading the works of St. Thomas Aquinas.
Catholics can do better, as can the Republican party.
I did not find anger in Vasoli's book. I found extensive evidence of why Catholics with perfectly viable marriages are divorcing and remarrying in the Chuch. The subjective evidence in Vasoli's study shows conclusively what many of us have suspected. Similarly, the defective consent argument is a way around the Church's forbidding remarriage after divorce. Sherylk Temaat Monument, Colorado Fr.
