A catholic cardinal to give benediction at his church's cabal (that'd be the repugican cabal)

Like this is new. The catholic church hopped in bed with the repugicans long ago.  I'm surprised we haven't yet heard of them cutting off communion to Democratic lawmakers - election year is their usual cue to try to swing the election to the repugicans.  It's like they don't even try anymore to pretend they're non-partisan, let alone simply an appendage of the repugican party (the religious equivalent of Faux News - all spin, no truth).
We always joke about how the repugican party would freak out if Jesus "that socialist hippie" actually came back.  But I'm starting to wonder if the reaction from the catholic church, or their buddies in the religious right, would be any different.  Because last time I checked, Jesus never took hostages.

He never turned a blind eye to the rape of children either.
