It’s revealing that Arnold Schwarzenegger whose positions make him a “Cafeteria Catholic” picks an advisor with a last name spelled Buffet. Just how Rob Lowe can he go?

I don’t think he Kenns, Jeff, but I sure he’ll Shrive to go Lower. 😉
My theory is that Arnold became a Catholic just so Maria Shriver could have the big Catholic wedding that Kennedys are so known for. His positions contradict the Faith more than any other Catholic politician that I am aware of, except for maybe his uncle-in-law, the senior senator from Massachusetts.
Catholicism isn’t a buffet (pardon the pun Warren). You can’t just pick and choose what you want.
His positions on homosexuality and abortion are really no different than the majority of Catholics in politics. Every Catholic Democrat in national politics unapologetically espouse those views and some Catholic Republicans politicians such as Rudolf Giuliani and Tommy Thompson also embrace the culture of death.
I am pretty sure that Arnold was raised at least nominally Catholic. It’s too bad he married a Kennedy instead of a Catholic.
