House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) said Tuesday at a press conference that he had a “good cup of coffee” with House Chaplain Rev. Patrick Conroy, and that the two men discussed how to improve pastoral services going forward.
Conroy delivered his first opening prayer since rescinding his resignation on Monday, welcoming lawmakers back to Washington and asking God for a spirit of cooperation and problem-solving to infuse the day’s tasks.
He originally handed in his resignation in April after being asked by Ryan’s office, but rescinded it in the uproar that followed.

Its crazy that Ryan has still not given a clear reason as to why asked him to quit in the first place.
Oh FFS Ryan: just retire and stop pretending to be a human already!
Hey, the message here is good coffee, smiles all around, even a verse of kumbaya. Get with the program!
I hope the good priest had the presence of mind to sprinkle holy water in Ryan’s general direction. I mean, hey, what could it hurt?
Fun fact: you can give a granny all the coffee you want (zombie or other) and she’ll still starve, so it’s all true to brand and on the up-and-up.
