Catholic profs to Boehner: Shape up your faith

Nearly 80 faculty from Catholic universities have released a scathing letter to House Speaker John Boehner, calling on Congress’ top Republican to acquaint himself with teachings of his church on the poor and disadvantaged.

Boehner is commencement speaker Saturday at the Catholic University of America. The House Speaker is a practicing Catholic and a product of Catholic schools.


“We write in the hope that this visit will reawaken your familiarity with the teachings of your Church on matters of faith and morals as they relate to governance,” the letter told Boehner.

Unlike anti-abortion demonstrators who greeted President Obama’s 2009 commencement at the University of Notre Dame, the professors did not protest Boehner’s appearance — and even congratulated Boehner on his upcoming speech.

But they drew up a bill of particulars on Boehner’s record and House Republican budgets.

“Mr. Speaker, your voting record is at variance from one of the Church’s most ancient moral teachings: From the Apostles to the present, the Magisterium of the Church has insisted that those in power are morally obligated to preference the needs of the poor.

Just as we have Republicon Faux 'news'

Do you see a pattern here?

And he still has to practice...:rofl:

Donohue is, after all, the go-to guy whenever the major news outlets need to know what conservative nitwits "think" from an ersatz Catholic point of view.
