I know the Catholic Church used to be big into social justice, though how well they practice it is debatable.

...they would chew him up and spit him out. He would be considered a wimp, and the road to Hell is paved with good intentions. Hardcore Baptists would hate his little sweater-vested ASS.

7. My only frame of reference is the Baptist church I attended briefly in 2002

Church was small, predominantly older (65 and up...one 94 year old man died during the time I attended).

Close-minded, tight-assed, bigoted. I became friends with the youth pastor and his wife, who were around my age. He got sick of the rigid structure of the church and went back to the Seminary. He had to work a part-time job to afford it, and it eventually broke him, and he gave it up and took a full time secular job.

THIS church would have fucked up Santorum's shit strictly on the basis of his age.

And the sweater vest would have to go on day one.

That's a very Protestant service.

Those Christians were cheering for war. Of all of the candidates, Santorum is the last one any sane person would want to be President of the US.
