John Nichols: Ryan can't quite hear his church's call for economic justice
Rep. Paul Ryan accuses President Obama of “sowing social unrest and class resentment.” The House Budget Committee chairman says the president is “preying on the emotions of fear, envy and resentment.”
Ryan, R-Janesville, accuses Elizabeth Warren of engaging in class warfare. He says the Massachusetts U.S. Senate candidate is guilty of engaging in the “fatal conceit of liberalism.”
But what about the Catholic Church, which has taken a far more radical position on economic issues than Obama or Warren? What does the self-described “good Catholic” do then?
If you’re Ryan, you don’t decry the church for engaging in class warfare. Instead, you spin an interpretation of the church’s latest pronouncements that bears scant resemblance to what’s been written — but that just happens to favor your political interests.
Ryan’s certainly not the only Catholic politician in Washington to break with the church.

Nick Moore, 3L, passes away - News - Georgetown Law Weekly
Nicholas Moore, a third-year Law Center student, died on Monday, Sep. 26, according to Dean William Treanor. Moore, an active supporter of Habitat for Humanity and other humanitarian causes, passed away in California of an as-yet undetermined cause.
“Nick was a valued member of our community who was deeply committed to public service,” Dean Treanor said in a message to the Law Center community. “A former AmeriCorps volunteer for Habitat for Humanity in New York City and the post-Katrina Mississippi Gulf Coast, he was also vice president of outreach for our campus Habitat chapter.”
In a recent edition of the Georgetown Law Alumni Magazine , Moore discussed his work with Habitat in New York City.
“Over the course of the day we covered the whole roof with shingles,” Moore told the magazine. “One of the really cool parts of this program is that you get people who are invested in their homes more than some random house you buy. And that transmits into people being really invested in their communities.
