$\"\"$ <\/a>Sarah Pulliam Bailey of Christianity Today<\/em> just interviewed Florida Senator Marco Rubio about his faith and political views<\/a>.\u00a0 It\u2019s a great introduction to Rubio, who is one of the GOP\u2019s most popular\u2013and promising\u2013young politicians.<\/p>\n

Q: Would you describe yourself as an evangelical?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A: <\/strong>I\u2019m a Roman Catholic. I\u2019m theologically in line with the Roman Catholic Church. I believe in the authority of the church, but I also have tremendous respect for my brothers and sisters in other Christian faiths. I recognize, as the Catholic Church does, that there are excellent teachings of the Word throughout other denominations. The elements of salvation are found in these churches as well. Some unifying principles bind all Christians: that God became a man and died for our sins, and that without that sacrifice, all of us would be doomed.<\/p>\n

Read the whole thing.<\/a>\u00a0 If you want to find out how Rubio defines himself spiritually and politically, this is a good place to go.<\/p>\n
