What is an evangelical? What is a Catholic?

So now everyone is running up against Mitt Romney as a Mormon as opposed to other candidates as in bed with evangelical Christians? Well, I’m not exactly in love with Romney but I’m also not in love with the whole issue of evangelical Christians either. What the hell is Rick Santorum? He’s a Roman Catholic, and a very committed one as well. Does anyone remember the kind of anti-Catholic filth that dogged men like Alfred E. Smith and John F. Kennedy? Or are evangelicals willing to get in bed with a Catholic because he’s the next best thing to an evangelical Christian? The next best thing, my ass. When does the artillery show up?

Hey, for you conspiracy theorists out there…don’t forget that Mary E. Surratt, one of the Lincoln conspirators, was a Roman Catholic too.
