Bishop Morlino tells Al: Paul Ryan an "excellent Catholic layman of the very highest integrity"
On Tuesday VP candidate Paul Ryan's Bishop joined us on "Kresta in the Afternoon" to discuss Ryan, the Ryan budget and Catholic principle in voting below is a 1-minute clip from that interview.
Here's the Merriam-Webster definition of the word "highest:"
1 being at a point or level higher than all others [the highest grade] [the highest flag on the pole]
But Bishop Morlino used the phrase "of the very highest integrity." I think the bishop is not saying that Ryan's integrity surpasses all others. Rather, I think the bishop is saying that Ryan belongs to that group of people who are at the top of the integrity list; let's call it the top 1%.
At the very top of the top 1% we would place JMJ; you know, Jesus, Mary and Joseph.

Congratulations, Mr. Ryan.
WOW!! Guess Mr. Ryan is very close to walking on water!
