If Ryan had never said the words "my Catholic upbringing"

Then the nuns on the bus wouldn't have made the effort to do their tour:

For whatever reason, far too many modern era "Christians" and "Catholics" forget that Jesus was after all, a man who spent most of his time hanging out with riffraff, healing the lepers, and knocking around the Money Changers.

If someone wants to practice Christianity, fine. But they should remember that Jesus was here on earth to bring a DIFFERENT message than that of the Old Testament. And that message was to love your neighbor as yourself, and to remember that when you help someone who is less fortunate, you help Him.

1. Let's hear him recite Confiteor

and explain what it means to him as a Cathoilic.

2. Considering his defense of all things Koch and the Oil industry, your typo is hilarious.

Yes, Ryan IS a "Cathoilic".

4. Ha! I mispelled Chathoholic!

Freudian. I assure you....

11. you are judged by how you treat the poor. I want to be there when these two dorks die.

I want to hear the end around.

3. "Truly I tell you, whatever you did for the least of these, you did for me"

Guess that passage is missing from a few bibles out there.

10. "The poor you will always have with you....But you will not always have me."

Mark 14 The poor you will always have with you, and you can help them any time you want. But you will not always have me.

5. Oh Jesus H. fucking Christ on a pogo stick. Ryan's a Christian like a toad is a bird.

He's never read a word out of a bible, of any of the many, many, many versions. How can you be so fucking STUPID?

8. If he's a Catholic, that's not true. You have to be babtised Catholic, then go to

catechism to learn the Catholic religion and procedures. Catechism is like school. After we would get out of school to go home, the Catholics would have to go to Catholic school.

He's probably read a lot of the Bible and gone to mass quite a lot. They all do. Mass is held all the time, even at night, weekends, holidays, afternoons...the idea being you can just stop in for mass, and continue on your way. You don't have to dress up, even.

9. Aparently you don't need to follow the teachings of Christ to call yourself a "Catholic".

Ryan sure doesn't.

7. Well I guess he has been good for something then.
