text: 1.The last time I was in Rome, I noticed a big, thick wall at Vatican City (Is that being torn down?).
  2.  The Vatican now has very tough security measures due to radical Islamic terror threats against the Vatican (Are they being removed?).
  3.  Good Catholic politicians, I believe, should believe in some very basic common sense and Christian principles:
  
  1) Oppose Abortion and support maternal and baby healthcare - pre, peri, and post-natal.
  2) Support the family.
  3) Help the poor.
  4) Develop and increase the economy with an eye on job creation.
  5) Maintain law and order.
  6) Protect the environment.
  7) When budgeting: Be cautious with the people's money.
  8) Lower the nation's deficits and debt.
  9) Support dialogue and peace over war. 
  10) Support the equality, free speech rights, and religious liberty of all citizens.
  Catholic politicians may disagree on methods, but the goals should be the same.
  And I'm a Republican.
