Rick 'Old Frothy' Santorum’s Hobby Lobby movie warns Christians that U.S. is becoming Nazi Germany

After the Supreme Court decided to take up the Hobby Lobby case late last year, Santorum argued that excluding birth control from women’s health insurance plans was a First Amendment right for corporations.

“I mean, the idea that the First Amendment stops after you walk out of church, that it doesn’t have anything to do with how you live the rest of your life, I don’t know very many people of faith that believes that their religion ends with just worship,” he told CNN. “I don’t think that’s what the First Amendment stands for. And I don’t think that’s what the court will say.”

During his 2012 campaign for president, the Catholic candidate vowed to repeal President Barack Obama’s health care reform law, and all access to birth control along with it.

Old Frothy is about as 'Catholic' as my dog. Complete waste of flesh.

1. Actually, he's simply parroting Pope Francis

Pope Francis recently emphasized that “religious freedom is not simply freedom of thought or private worship. It is the freedom to live according to ethical principles, both privately and publicly.”

VATICAN CITY -- Real religious liberty includes the freedom to live according to the values taught by one's faith, Pope Francis said.
"Religious freedom is not just a matter of thought or private devotion," the pope said June 20. "It is the freedom to live -- both privately and publicly -- according to the ethical principles that are a consequence of the truth found."

2. That's not what Francis is saying...

Santorum is desperate to make this a 'one religion Nation', his ignorance is glaring if you are not a Tea-Hadist based Christian in your beliefs.....nowhere does the Pope say that.

3. I'm making the comparison to the quote in the OP

“I mean, the idea that the First Amendment stops after you walk out of church, that it doesn’t have anything to do with how you live the rest of your life, I don’t know very many people of faith that believes that their religion ends with just worship,” he told CNN. “I don’t think that’s what the First Amendment stands for. And I don’t think that’s what the court will say.”

That's basically just a paraphrase of Francis' remarks. Be that as it may, however one might interpret Francis' remarks on religious liberty, they are indeed being used by conservative Christians (including the USCCB) to justify their scores of lawsuits against reproductive rights and for discrimination against LGBTs.
