A quick thought about Romney’s speech . . .

I’d welcome Vox Nova readers’ reactions to this post, by my colleague at Mirror of Justice, Fr. Robert Araujo.  He writes:

It is too early to assess Governor Romney’s speech at this hour. However, I think it is important that we who are dedicated to the pursuit of Catholic Legal Theory might wish to keep in mind that Kennedy, Romney, and, in a much earlier period, Thomas Jefferson were or are politicians who saw the need not to alienate voters. Thus, what is said about religion in one particular context may not and probably is not the only view held by someone seeking or holding public office. This prudential consideration would suggest that those seeking public office may at different times offer different perspectives on their views about the role of faith and religion in public life.
