Besides the standard superlative that is (NSFW link) Santorum, GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum came across especially smarmy in this interview on CNN's "Piers Morgan Tonight:"
Santorum also whined about being called a bigot by Piers Morgan.
Santorum countered that the Church's position is founded on more than 2,000 years of history. To adapt those beliefs based on the changing ways of society, he said, would be immoral.(Note from John: You mean like when the church used the Bible to justify slavery?)
Santorum then lobbed a charge of bigotry back at Morgan.
"Trying to redefine something that is seen as wrong – from the standpoint of a church – and saying a church is bigoted because it holds that opinion that is biblically based, I think that is, in itself, an act of bigotry," Santorum said.
No, Mr. Santorum. To continue to try to prevent equal civil rights for the LGBT community simply because your church says otherwise can, indeed, be called bigotry. In context, the so-called infallible Catholic Church used the Bible as its fundamental "truth" to punished Galileo as a heretic for stating the fact the earth was not the center of the universe.
