Paul Ryan is Catholic is name only. [View all]
Only Protestants believe in salvation in faith alone. Catholics believe in faith demonstrated through works. So we must judge him by his works, which sums up the Republican position very well...
What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him?
If a brother or sister has nothing to wear and has no food for the day,
and one of you says to them, Go in peace, keep warm, and eat well, but you do not give them the necessities of the body, what good is it?
So also faith of itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
Indeed someone may say, You have faith and I have works. Demonstrate your faith to me without works, and I will demonstrate my faith to you from my works.
Global warming you say? A hoax says Ryan. What does Catholicism say about this?
It is a mortal sin against the Holy Spirit to have deliberate resistance to a known truth.
The Vatican is full of scientist and the Pope has spoken to this issue. Everyone knows it's real, but it hurts big oil and coal so Paul plays stupid and denies.
Finally, what about his glee at opressing the poor via his Randian philosophy?
There are particular mortal sins that are so evil that they are said to be sins that cry to heaven for vengeance, including oppression of the poor and defrauding workers of their just wages.
Paul Ryan is a shitty Catholic and if you adhere to the religion, must conclude his soul is in grave danger of hell.
