Ash Wednesday Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 (edited) [quote name='pat22' post='1946518' date='Aug 11 2009, 07:15 PM']they don't have to be catholic they just have to do whats in the people's interests. not they're own. rexi seems to think being catholic is everything[/quote] As I see it, it's pretty common to hear about Catholic politicians that openly defy the Vatican with regards to voting on certain matters, particularly abortion. It's been discussed on Phatmass quite frequently. So I see no harm in pointing out that not all Catholics in public office are this way. This is, well, a Catholic board after all.

CatherineM Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Frank Keating, former Governor of Oklahoma, although I hate to admit it. He once got into a public pissing match with my baby brother on the front page of the paper, for weeks, and sent investigators around trying to get dirt on my brother. My brother is a boy scout, so they got nothing, but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he's somehow associated with the Opus Dei movement, which is disconcerting to many and seems to draw a lot of negative attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
