[Paul] Ryan asserts that his food stamp cuts are for poor people’s own good. Citing his Catholic religion’s doctrine of “social magisterium,” Paul the Pious says he’s preventing poor families from the moral horror of being “dependent on government.” Just imagine their gratitude! And imagine Ryan’s embarrassment that the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops dared to contradict his divine rationalization, bluntly calling the cuts “unjustified and wrong.”
