Nihil Obstat Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Jason Kenney, the Canadian Minister of Immigration. I can't tell for sure about his pro life record, or even if he was in politics then, but he was against homosexual 'marriage' when it came up. I heard him speak at a Theology On Tap, and he seemed like a good guy. Also he's the one that made the final call not to let George Galloway into the country.

He shouldn't be conducting the business of the government, he should be conducting the business of God, if he's a faithful Catholic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Wednesday Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 (edited) I don't know how many of them push for bans on all abortions across the boards, as far as the ones that are social conservatives (oppose gay marriage, generally oppose abortion and favor restrictions when possible) and prominent well-known politicians in the two major parties (as opposed to smaller grassroots movements): Jeb Bush. Senator Rick Santorum (Republican) PA, not in office currently but he was a pretty traditionalist Catholic. Not surprisingly he's also very much hated by the left. Interestingly enough, Sarah Palin was baptised a Catholic. You betcha. That's all I've got. Edited August 11, 2009 by Ash Wednesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St. Edward the Confessor, St. Louis IX, and St. Ferdinand III come to mind. Edited August 12, 2009 by Resurrexi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But many don't, particularly the ones who see all government as generally evil and not to be trusted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
