Jesuits for Obama

"The pontiff's book is a profession of faith in the good Jesus. Cardinal Martini puts us in front of Jesus from another perspective. Jesus is the friend of the publican and the sinner. He listens to the questions of young people. He stirs things up. He fights with us against injustice."

This is a Jesus that reaches across the aisle, this is a Jesus that is over with some old fights, this is a Jesus that promotes a change we can believe in, this is a Jesus that is going to fight for the middle class... In sum, Jesuits for Obama.

[On a completely different note, who could deny the Coen brothers' Burn After Reading is pure 19th-century-styled realism?]
