Jack Ryan, GOP Senate candidate for Illinois, in public, from the Chicago Sun-Times in April:
Still, every day, at some point, Ryan can be found in one of the back pews of a church, praying.
“People ask me, ‘Why do you go to church every day?…I’m not very effective in my home. Too many distractions…
“I believe in God,” he says. “The order of priorities is no revelation here: God, family, country. That’s how I try to think about my life, in that order.”
And he believes in prayer, he says, explaining that he doesn’t recite specific prayers. He has a conversation with God.
Discussions of C.S. Lewis, St. Thomas More, St. Francis of Assisi and his calling from God to enter public service follow.
Jack Ryan, GOP Senate candidate for Illinois, in private, from the Chicago Sun-Times in June:
Actress Jeri Ryan accused ex-husband Jack Ryan of insisting she go to “explicit sex clubs” in New York, New Orleans and Paris during their marriage — including “a bizarre club with cages, whips and other apparatus hanging from the ceiling.”
According to her declaration:
[Jack Ryan] took me to two clubs in New York during the day. One club I refused to go in. It had mattresses in cubicles. The other club he insisted I go to… It was a bizarre club with cages, whips and other apparatus hanging from the ceiling.
[He] wanted me to have sex with him there, with another couple watching. I refused. [He] asked me to perform a sexual activity upon him, and he specifically asked other people to watch. I was very upset.
Well, as Evelyn Waugh replied when challenged about his behaviour: “think how much worse I would be if I wasn’t [a Christian].”
