Nun on CNN asking Paul Ryan how he stands with the Church's teaching

[pnwmom]

on the preferential option for the poor.

He's giving his mealy-mouthed Republican response about how that means "upwards opportunity," etc. Programs for the poor are discouraging and dis-incentivising work, he says. People booed. He's for "customizing benefits." People cheered.

He says he's for the Catholic Charities model. Yeah, right.

She didn't get to answer him. Grrrr.

2. I love this

just like I loved when the "Nuns on the Bus" followed him around during the 2012 campaign trying to shame him into remembering what he should have learned in Catechism.

3. There is nothing so inconvient in life as a Christian upbringing.

Ryan seems to have overcome his.

The way to overcome a Christian upbringing is simple - hypocrisy.

4. Nuns are true warriors for justice

They have put up with BS from the church and governments for years, nevertheless, they persist!! Bless them!

5. I watched about five minutes of that scum and I couldn't take any more.

Unity and togetherness my ass. The GOP has done nothing but intentionally divide this country and now he wants to talk about unity and togetherness.

6. Opressing the poor is a sin that cries out to Heaven for vengeance

THAT is Catholic teaching Congressman Ryan. How is your immortal soul?

9. he's a smooth talking POS -- like the rest
