    Yeah Padre. Don’t you know that Jesus hates poor people and commands that we abolish the inheritance tax? Maybe you should re-read the scriptures, especially The Book of Ayn, Chapter 3, Verse 4, which says: “Fuck the poor. Let them fend for themselves.” Amen.https://twitter.com/steventdennis/status/989851263566274562 …

        If this Pastor was preaching politics in favor of conservative beliefs he should have been fired too, If religion is suppose to be separated from politics no one should have a problem with this firing. We should have a problem these firings don’t happen more often..

        He was but thankfully we live in a world where we don’t chose one religion’s political prism to make laws. He should keep it in his church and not in the halls of lawmakers. If we indeed believe in separation of church & state.

        And he really said it in the most gentle and unpartisan way possible. This was an unfair and unethical firing.

        Agreed. You can't say no prayer in public schools and then have chaplains giving them in Congress. Religion does not belong in government or public education.

        What’s weird is that the GOP totally supports people being able to deny other people services or meical care based on their religious beliefs AND supports change to IRS rules to allow politicking from the pulpit. But the House chaplain has to “stay out” of politics?

        They can't be fired. They all self-employed apparently just using taxpayer money to fund their projects. That's all.

        Memo to @SpeakerRyan: Ayn Rand was an atheist who celebrated selfishness; ergo, not a Christian. You follow her, not Jesus. Claim to be a Catholic all you want, but your deeds show what you really are. Couldn't tolerate Fr. Conroy because guilt, right?
