Morrison, a Pentecostal Christian, accused Shorten, a Catholic before converting to his second wife's Anglican faith, of a"desperate, cheap shot" ahead of elections on Saturday by challenging the prime minister to say whether he believed gays went to hell. "I'm not running for pope, I'm running for prime minister," Morrison told reporters."So ... theological questions, you can leave at the door."
