I especially find Boehner to be loathsome. Having been raised a Catholic, I was made very aware of the Catholic Church's support of the working class. The fact is that it was the Catholic Clergy who were a major force in the formation of unions. Several popes wrote encyclicals calling for fair wages and health benefits for the working class. The present pope is not unique in his condemnation of the exploitation of workers. Therefore, I find Boehner who claims to be a Catholic to be a total fraud. He makes me want to vomit. I can only wish the Pope Francis takes him to task for his anti-Christian actions to starve helpless children and the disabled. He is an abomination that should be shunned like the plague.
