Sen. Charles E. Schumer of New York, the Senates No. 3 ranking Democrat, is turning to the head of the Catholic Church for a little help with policy. If they wont listen to @SenateDems maybe theyll listen to @Pontifex when it comes to #equalpay #FairShot, Mr. Schumer tweeted Wednesday. Schumer also linked to an article from The Washington Post in which Pope Francis said Wednesday the fact that a pay disparity exists between men and women is pure scandal.

They rot in hell together, too.
Bless his heart.
The Pope and the Senator might both be surprised to learn that equal pay for equal work has been the law since the Civil Rights Act of 1964. We don’t need any new law or policy.
The obvious reason that pay disparity exists is that men and women are not exactly equal! To those who argue that they are, including the Pope, I would ask why there are no female Catholic priests and why a woman has never been elected Pope!
Good points!
Don’t forget to tell the pope that you’re the baby killing party and the “we love perverts” party.
Meanwhile, when Hitlery was a senator, she paid women in her senate office less than men.
You’ll never hear Scott Pelley report that on the See BS news.
Men and women do not come out of vacuums either. Both have contexts. This strawman game is getting so old, and why doesn’t the Pontiff understand that. “After correcting for other factors” then one can look sanely at the question. But not until.
Can someone explain what the sam hill is happening... thanks. A very wild hair doth grow in Rome now.
Hey Mr. Schumer, is the Pope pro-abortion and pro-gay marriage?
I’d like to see you invoke him on these.
“Putzhead Maximus”..most people who live or lived in his old congressional district always thought he was beating something else. After all, The Weiner was his protege!
chuck the schmuck never had an honest job in his life... he’s been livin off the public trough his entire life.... a
he is a useless career libtard scumbag....
corporations could perhaps pay more in wages if they paid less than 35% in taxes and the sales tax in ny area is 8.625%
and this pos opens his fat yap between meals to say wages should be higher....chuck and the rest of the libtards are free and easy with opm... other people’s money and tightwads with his own... when chuck reaches in his pocket moths come out...
Sorta like what America did...twice.
God must be doing a face palm.
I’m getting worried about the guy and I’m not even Roman Catholic. He’s pulled the dignity of his stewardship over the Roman church behind two gross misrepresentations with this and the “climate change.” This ain’t even an issue of classic Catholic vs. classic evangelical takes on Christian faith, as strained as the differences between those are. These are cockamamie in any book.
The priesthood has nothing to do with pay disparity. Sheesh.
And pay and working conditions are not the same in Pakistan and Dubai as they are in Pennsylvania and Delaware.
Tomorrow’s news today:
“Pope Francis Invokes Chuck Schumer to Rally Support in Fight Against GOP”
I agree and I’m Catholic. A lot of us are shaking our heads in bewilderment.
