Ryan and the Catholic church have a huge opportunity here to connect to conservative and orthodox faithful. Before and after he becomes VP, he should be on the road to talk to and listen to Archbishops, Bishops, Monsignors and Priests, with the tacit understanding that they must both be in conformity with the Vatican and conservative in their faith.
And he could use this is a starting point to talk with leaders of other Orthodox faiths, Christian and Jewish, with the idea of being seen as their voice in the corridors of power.
More than anything else, this Sends the message that the Republican party respects their religions and will work to protect them from the onslaughts of those that hate them, the Democrats.
It wouldn’t hurt if Ryan were able to spend a couple hours w AB Chaput, in Phili.
...and I don’t care if anybody ever hears of it.
There are some elements of economics on which Ryan might enlighten AB Chaput.
Not to worry about Church/State influence, as it would be an opportunity to reassure the AB that the policies will have the proper effect.
