Ryan is a practicing Catholic
Yet he preached Atheism at
the Catholic College
“Our problem with Representative Ryan is that he claims his budget is based on Catholic social teaching,” said Jesuit Father Thomas J. Reese, one of the organizers of the letter. “This is nonsense. As scholars, we want to join the Catholic bishops in pointing out that his budget has a devastating impact on programs for the poor.” [...]
“I am afraid that Chairman Ryan’s budget reflects the values of his favorite philosopher Ayn Rand rather than the gospel of Jesus Christ,” said Father Reese. “Survival of the fittest may be okay for Social Darwinists but not for followers of the gospel of compassion and love.”

American style religious hypocracy at its best. Maybe what is going on here is the fact that Republicans have decided that they no longer need Democratic workers to perform the labor at their companies and factories which would seem to also support their cut in programs for the poor.
I guess Republicans will just have to service Republicans - won't that be fun.
I worked at GU for 9 years and loved the Jesuits for their liberalism.
