“Apparently Rush’s opinion of Catholicism dovetails with Henry VIII’s as well.”

I wonder how you divine that, since Rush wasn’t talking about Catholicism, but one single Catholic. Are you a mind reader?

Actually Henry was awarded the title Defender of the Faith by the Pope after arguing against Luther. But then Catherine angered him and turned him against the Church when she complained to him about cleaning his weener with the bedroom curtains.

Rush is prone to treat capitalism as an ideology, which, as William Buckley, reminded us, it is not. Rhetorically, the pope seems to be doing the a same thing, of course. In any case, the kind of excesses he is talking about is better identified with plutocracy. Which means that the major capitalists in our country join with the Obama administration in their indifference to the fate of a (big) company like Hobby Lobby whose owners have a moral core.
