You have a point there, the church itself is fine with evolution..but Santorum is apparently more Catholic than even the Catholics. In the end, he won't be President so it doesn't matter.
I have a degree in Biology and I do not agree with macro evolution and many biologists share my beliefs. By all measures Rick Santorum would make an excellent and moral president.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
