Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum said he takes the
president at his word that he's a Christian, but said Barack Obama's
"world view" is different than that of most Americans.
Santorum commented in Ohio Saturday that the president believes in
"some phony ideal, some phony theology. Oh, not a theology based on the
Bible, a different theology."
Asked to clarify his statements on CBS News' "Face the Nation"
Sunday, Santorum said that he was referring not to the president's faith
but to environmentalism.
"Well, I was talking about the radical
environmentalists," he told Schieffer. "That's what I was talking
about: Energy, this idea that man is here to serve the Earth, as opposed
to husband its resources and be good stewards of the Earth. And I think
that is a phony ideal. I don't believe that that's what we're here to
do - that man is here to use the resources and use them wisely, to care
for the Earth, to be a steward of the Earth, but we're not here to serve
the Earth.
"The Earth is not the objective," Santorum said.
"Man is the objective. I think a lot of radical environmentalists have
it upside-down."
But Schieffer pressed Santorum, saying that by
using the term theology it sounded like he was questioning the
president's religion.
"I wasn't suggesting the president's not a Christian. I
accept the fact that the president is a Christian," Santorum said,
looking agitated. "I just said that when you have a worldview that
elevates the Earth above man and says that we can't take those resources
because we're going to harm the Earth; by things that frankly are just
not scientifically proven, for example, the politicization of the whole
global warming debate - this is all an attempt to, you know, to
centralize power and to give more power to the government.
"It's
not questioning the president's beliefs in Christianity. I'm talking
about the belief that man should be in charge of the Earth and have
dominion over it and should be good stewards of it.
"I've
repeatedly said that I believe the president is a Christian. He says he
is a Christian. But I am talking about his worldview or the way he
approaches problems in this country and I think they're different than
how most people do in America."
