In reply to the discussion: Paul Ryan: Free School Lunch Means Poor Parents Don't Care About Kids [View all]CTyankee
(63,926 posts)17. It seems to me that if Ryan is a devout Christian he would be under the commands
of Jesus to feed the poor, comfort the suffering, heal the sick, shelter the homeless and in general respond with practical compassion to the needs of others less fortunate. And, in addition to the practical help, to fight to end unjust systems that perpetuate human poverty and misery.
Did he miss that memo in his catechism class?
