Catholic Leaders to Rep. Paul Ryan: Stop Distorting Church Teaching to Justify Immoral Budget

The money quote: “If Rep. Ryan thinks a budget that takes food and healthcare away from millions of vulnerable people upholds Catholic values, then he also probably believes Jesus was a Tea Partier who lectured the poor to stop being so lazy and work harder,”

"Nearly 60 prominent theologians, priests, nuns and national Catholic social justice leaders released a statement today refuting Rep. Paul Ryan’s claim that his GOP budget proposal reflects Catholic teaching on care for the poor, which he made in an interview earlier this week with the Christian Broadcasting Network. The group of Catholic leaders — including a former high-ranking U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops official, a priest in Rep. Ryan’s district and the leadership team of the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas — called on Ryan to “reconsider his radical budget proposal and refrain from distorting Church teaching.”

“If Rep. Ryan thinks a budget that takes food and healthcare away from millions of vulnerable people upholds Catholic values, then he also probably believes Jesus was a Tea Partier who lectured the poor to stop being so lazy and work harder,” said John Gehring, Catholic Outreach Coordinator at Faith in Public Life. “This budget turns centuries of Catholic social teaching on its head. These Catholic leaders and many Catholics in the pews are tired of faith being misused to bless an immoral agenda.”

14. Love it but middle one should read, "ONE SIMPLY DOES NOT ASK THE RICH..."

Picky teacher me, but word order matters! The meaning is different.

22. I believe the middle one is a direct quote from Ryan.

I could be mistaken though.

Keep it coming and by the end of the day, I should be rid
of all my Republican FB "Friends."
They post whack a doodle shit all day long.
The minute you post something FACTUAL, they disappear.

Love the fact that the Church is calling this guy out!

Remember when GW refused to meet with his church elders?

Roaches tend to not like the light shining on them...

The religious righties are going to have to summon up a LOT of racist Obama hate to overcome that.
