Giuliani: 'I Do Not Get Into Debates With the Pope'
Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani on Wednesday declined to comment on Pope Benedict XVI's suggestion that Catholic politicians in Mexico had excommunicated themselves by legalizing abortion. "I do not get into debates with the pope, that is not a good idea," said Giuliani, a Catholic who favors abortion rights. Issues involving personal faith and his standing with the Roman Catholic church "are between me and my confessor," he said. Giuliani's remarks came during a day in Alabama that included three fundraisers and appearances in Tuscaloosa, Huntsville and Birmingham.
Story Continues Below At the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, Giuliani appealed for GOP votes and campaign donations using the state's universal language - football. Speaking in a conference center named for the late Crimson Tide football coach Paul "Bear" Bryant, Giuliani told Tuscaloosa County Republicans that the best defense against terrorists is a good offense. "The only way to keep us safe is to be on offense against them," said Giuliani, speaking to a crowd of more than 800. It's the same with the economy, Giuliani said. Republicans need to maintain control of the White House and take back Congress to preserve President Bush's tax cuts and prevent Democrats from imposing a European-style "collectivist economy."
