There are some writers who feel they are elected by God. I am not. I am elected by the devil - this is clear.

My father was a statesman, I am a political woman. My father was a saint. I am not.

I do think there's a difference between what a religious leader says and does and what a public official or legislator does. But there's no question that a lot of our legal underpinnings find a good bit of their foundations in the Scriptures.

I'm not a politician. I'm not running for office. I can say what I think.

Apparently God takes reception of Holy Communion seriously. Apparently some things are more sacred than politics. Apparently it's all or nothing when it comes to being Catholic.

The Bible for me is holy writ. It's a very straightforward thing, although I am not a literalist.
