The Rev. Patrick J. Conroy, the House chaplain who announced his resignation under pressure last month, informed Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) Thursday that he wanted to rescind his offer and remain in his position at least through the end of this year.

In a two-page letter, Conroy informed Ryan that he gave in to pressure from the speaker’s staff when he agreed in mid-April to resign, believing that Ryan had the power to fire him, but the chaplain now believes he was pressured into the resignation for lack of cause.

“I have never been disciplined, nor reprimanded, nor have I ever heard a complaint about my ministry during my time as House chaplain,” Conroy wrote Thursday.

8. That's very interesting. He's defying the Speaker.

Maybe it's a "who blinks first" sort of thing. Ryan really can't do anything on his own. Maybe this will force him to resign and get out early.

"Please come back and save my ass."

16. "Because you're a Catholic & we want a prosperity-consciousness fundamentalist" is not a valid cause

...for termination in any organization outside a church.

Good for the Chaplain.
