There is a report on the Guild of Blessed Titus blog that indicates that the Santorum Rosary Crusade is fast spreading, certainly across Europe.
We know, also, that many in America are praying for his victory.
Of course, as predicted, the adverse comments are flying around the ether but, so are the good ones and I have to say that those bloggers who have been positive about Rick Santorum all appear to speak without hype and make a good case for this man (see A Reluctant Sinner).
And from America, posted under the Catholic Vote blog comes a stout defence from Stephen White.
The thorny issue seems to be the torture question.
Opponents claim that Santorum is in favour of it.
But where is the evidence?
He has said that he does not regard "waterboarding" as torture (and neither does the US Military).
You may read Stephen White's take on the waterboarding issue but I would only add that, if a terrorist was detained with evidence that he or she was privy to knowledge of a nuclear device that was due to be detonated in the capital, then with three children and four grandchildren in London, I would not object to the suspect being waterboarded if it would result in thousands of lives being saved.
It is not nice. It is abhorrent. But, is it torture?
Meanwhile....keep up the Rosaries
