Ryan to be met by Catholic protesters, ‘GOP Jesus’ at Georgetown lecture


By Jonathan Easley - 04/25/12 05:04 PM ET

Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), author of the House majority's budget proposal, will be met by Catholic protesters outside of a scheduled lecture at Georgetown University on Thursday.

Catholics United, a social justice group aligned with more liberal politics, is organizing the gathering in response to cuts Ryan's budget would make to social welfare programs.


The group says it will have an actor portraying “GOP Jesus” outside where Ryan will be delivering a policy speech as a part of the Catholic school’s Whittington Lecture series.
They will carry a 50-foot banner that says: “Were you there when they crucified the poor?”http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/223767-ryan-to-be-met-by-catholic-protesters-gop-jesus-at-georgetown-lecture

and less like Christ.

If Jesus came back down to Earth, he'd be furious with what's being done to his Church, BTA, he foresaw it all.
