Yep, Rethug Rep. Paul Ryan's going to Hell. Following Catholic bishops' denunciation of Ryan's Rethuglican "budget," we have more evidence that all is not lost in the Catholic Church:
“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.” (emphasis added)
Ninety Georgetown faculty and administrators signed the letter. Good for them and for the Church.
