One of my biggest problems with supposedly pious politicians like Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney and so many others, not to mention the religious leaders who support them is how they like to selectively pick and choose the teachings they will support.

What makes this worse is that all of these people so often stand and preach about how people can't just pick their beliefs a la carte but take all of the teachings or nothing at all.

Santorum and Gingrich are particularly egregious examples of this. University of Michigan history professor Juan Cole lists his top ten examples of catholic doctrine that Santorum ignores, all of which apply to Gingrich. On top of this Gingrich who converted to catholicism is also a serial adulterer and two-time divorcee.
