Nun Rips Rick "man on dog" Santorum

Posted by Frankie at 7/27/2005 04:25:00 PM

You really have to respect a faith that has such a wide range of the political spectrum. On one hand you have a right wing Republican Senator who rips off Pennsylvania tax payers for his children's out of state education, and opposes his Catholic faiths stance on the War in Iraq as being "unjust." Then you have a Nun who has pledged to live a humble life and stands up against people who do not practice what they preach. Those who pick and choose their so called high moral values need called out. Thank you Sister Liguori Rossner!

Not moral messages

As a teacher for the Diocese of Pittsburgh for 14 years, one important lesson I learned was that no matter what I said to the child, whatever the parents said superseded my message. What parents say and how they live sends a message stronger than any teacher's voice no matter what the issue.

Sen. Rick Santorum and his wife have taught their children a powerful lesson on civic responsibility by refusing to pay any tuition money to the Penn Hills School District for their children who attended the Pennsylvania Cyber Charter School ("Penn Hills Loses Bid to Charge Santorum," July 12). Released from that payment on a technicality shows that even an upstanding, moral gentleman like Sen. Santorum teaches his children the following lessons:

1) Take advantage of the system whenever you can.

2) The little guy pays while the rich and powerful guy gets away with it.

3) As a Catholic, you have no obligation to pay your share to the common good in spite of Catholic social doctrine.

Finally, I am shocked that our religious leaders who see Sen. Santorum as some sort of faith-and-morals hero have not spoken up on this issue at all.
