The Rev. Patrick Conroy, chaplain of the House of Representatives, said in a letter on Thursday that he was rescinding his resignation amid his high-profile ousting by House Speaker Paul Ryan.
The Associated Press reported that Conroy wrote in a two-page letter to Ryan, the retiring Wisconsin Republican, that he has never "heard a complaint about my ministry" as House chaplain.
Democrats have expressed outrage over Ryan’s decision to push Conroy out of the job.
Ryan has told fellow Republicans that he fired the House chaplain, a Roman Catholic priest from the Jesuit order, after complaints from members that he wasn't doing a very good job.
"He had a number of complaints that the chaplain was not meeting the pastoral needs of the members in general," said Rep. Mike Coffman, R-Colo.

No, he told Ryan that diddling little boys is good.
Never heard that before, can you cite a source?

Jesuits don’t “meet pastoral needs!”
They are not there for that purpose. Everything a Jesuit does is for political rerasons.

He is a Jesuit, just like the devil Pope. Why defend him?

Ryan was wrong to hire the guy, wrong to try to fire him, and wrong to backtrack and let the guy keep his job. No consistency. Making bad decisions is bad enough, but all the reversals and about-faces only make it worse.

You should both be embarrassed and ashamed to post your disgraceful, hateful, biased vitriol on a public forum... You think diddling little boys is good thing?

He said that homosexuality is good.
Since homosexuality is spread by raping children then he said that diddling little boys was ok.

You’re doing exactly what I described. Thanks for verifying it.
Ryan is a snake. And that’s being polite. But that’s no excuse for you alingnjbg yourself with leftist snakes defending a leftist snake.
