Santorum: You Can’t Be A Liberal And A Christian

Posted by | February 21, 2012 14:22 | Filed under: Top Stories


In 2008, Rick Santorum spoke at the Oxford Center for Religion and Public Life and expressed his view that you can’t be both liberal and a Christian.

[I]s there such thing as a sincere liberal Christian, which says that we basically take this document and re-write it ourselves? Is that really Christian? That’s a bigger question for me. And the answer is, no, it’s not. I don’t think there is such a thing. To take what is plainly written and say that I don’t agree with that, therefore, I don’t have to pay attention to it, means you’re not what you say you are. You’re a liberal something, but you’re not a Christian. That’s sort of how I look at it.

When you go so far afield of that and take what is a salvation story and turn it into a liberation theology story, which is done in the Catholic world as well as in the evangelical world, you have abandoned Christendom, in my opinion. And you don’t have a right to claim it.
