enlarge For this one, let’s start with a good definition of “theocracy.” the·oc·ra·cy a form of government in which God or a deity is recognized as the supreme civil ruler, the God’s or deity’s laws being interpreted by the ecclesiastical authorities. Rick Santorum, who is a radically conservative, pre-Vatican II Roman Catholic, has said that birth control is ” not okay ,” has argued that states should have the right to ban contraception , that the federal government should require schools to teach creationism , that both homosexuals and adulterers should be imprisoned , and that doctors who perform a legal medical procedure are criminals. Now, I’m not sure who Lewis is referring to when he writes “people” in that tweet — but I do think it’s deeply ironic that someone like Santorum is expressing alarm about theocracy in Iran.
