Santorum excommunicates 45 million Christians: Mainline Protestants are "gone from the world of Christianity"
In a 2008 speech at Ave Maria University, Rick Santorum, a devout Catholic, warned about the dangers of the NBA and rock concerts, but also said that while Protestants founded America, mainline Protestantism is in such shambles that it is gone from the world of Christianity as I see it:
We all know that this country was founded on a Judeo-Christian ethic but the Judeo-Christian ethic was a Protestant Judeo-Christian ethic, sure the Catholics had some influence, but this was a Protestant country and the Protestant ethic, mainstream, mainline Protestantism, and of course we look at the shape of mainline Protestantism in this country and it is in shambles, it is gone from the world of Christianity as I see it. [...]
Whether its sensuality of vanity of the famous in America, they are peacocks on display and they have taken their poor behavior and made it fashionable. The corruption of culture, the corruption of manners, the corruption of decency is now on display whether its the NBA or whether its a rock concert or whether its on a movie set.
