A Catholic leader in Kansas, where Tim Kaine grew up, is calling the vice presidential candidate an “orthodox” Democrat and a “cafeteria Catholic.”

Archbishop Joseph Naumann of Kansas City said in his weekly column that Kaine is “picking and choosing the teachings of the Catholic Church that are politically convenient.” Kaine grew up in Overland Park and attended a Jesuit high school in nearby Kansas City, Missouri.

At times, his governing choices as Virginia’s governor and senator have run directly against his Catholicism.

Kaine is morally opposed to the death penalty but signed off on 11 executions during his four years as governor. After opposing gay marriage in his 2005 gubernatorial run, he later supported it. He’s personally against abortion but has consistently voted in favor of abortion rights.
