What Marco Rubio Just Said About Christianity Will Raise A Huge Red Flag For Many

With a presidential campaign theme of “A New American Century,” GOP Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida is clearly looking to the future; and what he sees for mainstream Christianity is a future in which there’s a “real and present danger” for the faithful. In an interview with CBN News, the 43-year-old Republican lawmaker with his sights set on the White House said that his deeply held Catholic faith provides the foundation for his positions on controversial social issues such as same-sex marriage.

“If you think about it, we are at the water’s edge of the argument that mainstream Christian teaching is hate speech,” Rubio told CBN News. “Because today we’ve reached the point in our society where if you do not support same-sex marriage you are labeled a homophobe and a hater.”
