And after the disappointments with the other 2012 candidates, including Rick Perry, Michele Bachmann and Herman Cain, many hope Rick Santorum is a Christian. But is Rick Santorum the truly born-again Christian President that America needs? While Rick Santorum has yet to answer our questions aimed at addressing this issue, his statements over the years, including the speech he gave at Ave Maria University (transcript) in 2008, provided intriguing details about his religion, beliefs and Catholicism (start here).

A born-again Christian ultimately cannot remain within Roman Catholicism. A born-again Christian also would testify about Jesus, his Lord and Savior. Rick Santorum's key strengths include his solid positions against abortion, homosexual marriage and Islamic threat, including from Iran's nuclear program. He also has exemplified family values, especially compared to Newt Gingrich. His key weaknesses include lack of gravitas and relative inexperience, especially compared to Newt Gingrich.
