How do any of those quotes call his Catholic faith into question or make him an unfaithful Catholic? The general context is economics, capitalism, socialism, etc., not faith. Unless you are saying his economic ideas are such that they basically excommunicate Ryan…

And since both of his Bishops (Morino and Nolan) have both confirmed that Ryan sought their council when developing his budget proposal, the case that Ryan should be excommunicated are thin.

PR is the last nail in the coffin for me re voting for Romney. I’m pro-life and I cannot vote for a pro-death candidate, one who would (wittingly or unwittingly) lead us to annihilation of life (or a huge chunk of it) on earth through climate change and other very serious environmental problems confronting us today.

At least Romney was for mitigating climate change before he was against it, but now I understand his true view on it by his selecting PR. (The fact that PR would work to gut medicare and social security and dump on thepoor (which I’m also against), and that he would work to fight medical abortions (his one good point) pale in comparison to his attack on the environment and all life on earth – and makes me really question his sincerity re fighting against abortion – it just doesn’t compute.)

Sorry, I think that’s pretty far out. If you are so into climate change, what has Obama done about that? Pretty hot this year and he’s not scaling back on his Air Force One trips, that’s for sure.

As for “gutting medicare” etc., please refer me to his budget plan where I can find the proof of what you are saying.
 
For those who were wondering, Paul Ryan is Catholic and that is why he knows about the faith.

I doubt there is a poster on this thread who doesn’t know that, some of us have been discussing an EWTN interview he had last year.
 
A perfect ticket balancer…The Republicans have evangelical Protestants in general, now they have Catholics because of Ryan, and Mormans because of Romney. Also, Ryan is a self made guy, unlike Romney. Ticket balancer!

With some of the expectations of his supporters on this thread, who are also Catholic, I don’t see how it helped…

Romney just handed Obama the senior vote on a silver platter.

What a moronic selection.

Seniors are much smarter than you think. As a senior, there is no way for me to vote for Obama. Any senior, as long as they pay attention, should be able to make a clear choice.
 
I was on the road last weekend and listening to a CD from Envoy in which Paul Ryan was being interviewed, mainly about how his Catholic faith helped shape his approach to the budget proposal. Must have been a relatively recent interview, within the past year or so. I was impressed with his understanding of the Catechism on the subject. I hadn’t known he was Catholic before this.

The possibility of a Catholic in office who actually knows and practices his faith … wow. I thought I’d see monkeys fly before I’d see this.

The Republican Party already handed Obama the presidency on a silver platter with Romney as the main course. Ryan is just the yummy desert, that looks good on the outside but gives one indigestion after it has been studied and savored…:coffeeread:

Do you think Dr. Paul would have been a better presidential candidate?

Maybe because most Americans don’t subscribe to the Catholic view? This may surprise you but some people are willing to make exceptions in certain cases and allow it to be legal in cases like rape, incest, to protect the life of the mother. Others might include the first trimester. There are honest differences of opinion on this issue among Americans.

Who said any differently? Ryan supports the Catholic view, which should be endorsed on Catholic Answers. Obama represents others. You have a problem with Ryan representing some American’s views, but Obama?

Does Mr. Ryan agree with the foreign policy of Ron Paul? As i understand it to be, Ron Paul is for cutting the military budget drastically, stopping the foreign wars, and closing down America’s overseas bases? On the other hand, Romney wants a strong military. Where does Mr. Ryan stand on the military budget, foreign wars, overseas bases. Does he stand with Mr. Ron Paul or with Mr. Romney?

Probably closer to Romney, but since half my comments are not serious, I can’t say. His name isn’t really Ron Paul Ryan.

Nor is he going by Paul Ryan Seachrest to steal the youth vote, or Paul Bunyan Ryan to garner the lumberjack vote.

You are correct; once Romney was declared the de facto candidate for President any possibility of me voting republican evaporated. If republican such as Peter King was the party nominee, then a possibility would exist.

Since I was never considering Romney anyway, the republican loss is the Democrats gain.

Assuming you don’t mean the football guy from NBC and Sports Illustrated, that’s fine.
