With politics in Washington continually heating up over the culture wars pro-life politicians often being made to look like extremists, one Catholic analyst is trying to show that an anti-life culture plays a massive role in the U.S.‘s often skewed moral values.
Deal Hudson, former editor of Crisis magazine has highlighted this battle in his latest column in the Window, showing that Catholic senator Rick Santorum is getting a bad rap from his largely anti-life opponents.
Hudson recalled a Philadelphia Daily News story in which Santorum was recently blasted for his views on the Terri Schiavo case and made to look like a “right wing, religious fanatic.”
Jphn Baer, the columnist who wrote the story cited an article written by Santorum three years ago, in which, according to Hudson, the senator “had described dissent in Catholic education and liberalism in culture as contributing factors to the difficulties in the Roman Catholic Church.”
