Conroy, who said he is now under the “advice of counsel,” is no longer sure Ryan has that power because his position is an office of the House, voted upon for a two-year term at the start of each Congress. The chaplain, who had intended to resign May 24, now believes there was no just cause for him to be ousted from the position.

"I didn't have the guts to fire him myself, so I sent my flunky to ask for Father Conroy's resignation. When Conroy withdrew his resignation and as much as told me to do my own dirty work, I turned tail and ran. Can we move forward for the good of the whole House (a concept that has never previously crossed my mind)?"

I hope you bring a pen and lots of paper to your meeting, Father Conroy. That commie hippie freak you read about in The New Testament has absolutely no place in Paul Ryan's theology.
