Rick Santorum: “If the Senator will yield, does the Senator from Utah, who I know is not Catholic, know that as part of the Catholic…”

If the Senator will yield, does the Senator from Utah, who I know is not Catholic, know that as part of the Catholic faith, one of the central teachings with respect to faith and morals is that it is not an option under the Catholic church doctrine to be a faithful Catholic and not be pro-life. It is a core teaching of the church. It is not an optional teaching or a recommended teaching; it is a core teaching of the church. So to be a faithful Catholic, according to the church, someone has to embrace this opposition to abortion. Is the Senator aware of that?
