Ron DeSantis dodges question about praying to saints
Gov. Ron DeSantis isn’t committing to a position on one controversial tenet of Catholic catechism.
Asked in New Hampshire whether it was “OK to pray to saints,” the 2024 presidential candidate didn’t answer the question in the affirmative or negative, instead redirecting the question to more of a relativist framing.
“Is it OK to pray to saints versus? Well, I mean, the different traditions do different things. I mean, what I try to say is, you know, I’m not out here beating my chest saying that God’s on my side. I just try to conduct myself in a way so that I’m on his side,” he said Wednesday in Hampton, at an event hosted by the Never Back Down super PAC.
