Some Catholic Leaders Speaking Out Against Paul Ryan’s Budget-Cutting
posted on August 21, 2012At The Daily Beast, Lauren Ashburn writes on the conflict between some Catholics and Paul Ryan. Ashburn writes that Ryan’s budget proposal “slashes domestic spending and trims $700 billion from Medicare” and has drawn criticism from Catholics, including Georgetown Jesuits “who view him as ignorant of Catholic theology.” According to Ashburn, “The media too often present the church as a culturally conservative monolith, drowning out the voices of those who worry about tending to the less fortunate.”
