Similarities

Dennis Jett, a professor at Penn State, notes the following similarities between the Catholic Church and the GOP:

1. They both select the oldest white guy in the room as their standard bearer.
2. They have a fundamental policy of denying certain rights to gays and women.
3. They are convinced they have a monopoly on morality.
4. They believe putting a Latino face on their product will increase sales to that important demographic.
5. They cater to their base and could care less about public opinion or interest writ large.
6. They think to prevail in today’s world all they have to do is change the messaging without making any change in the meaning of their message.
