Does this mean Rick Santorum is a member of Opus Dei?
Just curious. There seem to be a few pieces of circumstantial evidence pointing to Santorum being a member of Opus Dei, such as:
Rick Santorum gave a speech honoring Josemaria Escriva in which he said, "Blessed Josemaria guides my way.” Escriva is the founder and head of Opus Dei.
Santorum also sent two of his children to an Opus Dei liberal arts school, in which the head of the school, as a devout member (a numerary), wears a cilice (a spiked metal instrument worn around the thigh that causes a degree of suffering so the person can experience the pain that Christ suffered).
Santorum attends a church in D.C. officiated by Opus Dei members, and a member of Opus Dei baptized one of his children.
Do these and other indicators mean he is a de facto member of Opus Dei? If he is, should he come out and state it publicly? Or does it even matter? Santorum has made his religious views such a part of his campaign platform that I think it becomes fair to ask just where those views originate.

For Ted: Santorum has made his faith a very public part of his political platform. He has made every indication that he means to govern according to the principles of that faith. In contrast, IF the alcohol-drinking, Christian-church-attending Obama were a secret Muslim, he neither promised openly to govern according to that faith, nor, in the last three years, has he passed one single piece of legislation based upon that faith. You cannot compare apples to pineapples. That's IF Obama were even a "secret" Muslim in the first place. Muslims do not drink, attend Christian church, and send raise their children as Christians.

Your thesis is that "Where there's smoke there's fire," is it?
If all of your information is correct, I must agree that there's an awful lot of smoke.
After the disastrous presidency of the "born again" Geo.W. Bush, one would have thought that the American people would have no interest at all in seeing a second religious nut in the White House.
Santorum's limited success in the primaries is a reminder that fully one-half of voters are under average in intelligence, and that many of these retarded folk are both devout Christians and participants in primary elections.
One wonders how democracy survives at all with these people dragging it down at every turn.

And Obama once said "My Muslim faith " during an interview......but the completely "non biased" abc anchor corrected him and glossed right over it.
