Complete title:

Beck Calls for Support for Catholics as Soros-Funded Organization Encourages Media to Attack

###

The Soros-funded organization Faith in Public Life has an interesting strategy for encouraging public engagement with Catholics. As The Blaze reported this week, John Gehring; Catholic outreach coordinator for Faith in Public Life, recently emailed leftist talking points and interview tips to the media for interviewing bishops during the “Fortnight for Freedom” events over the next month.

These events are organized by the church, and campaign for religious liberty and speaking out clearly against recent unprecedented attacks from the federal government. Gehring’s email is intended to inform the media on what is “fact” and “fiction” in regards to recent political standoffs between Democrats and Catholics.

Some things that the Soros group deems as fiction? That there is a “war on the Catholic Church” and that “the Obama administration is pushing an ideological agenda that is out of step with most Catholics and Americans.”

What are some of questions FPL suggest journalists ask Bishops:

On June 7, Gehring sent a memo to his buddies in the media (a copy of which was generously leaked to me—click here) instructing them on how to handle the bishops. They should begin by questioning the prelates why the Obama “accommodation” wasn’t good enough. “You have to ask why the bishops can’t take yes for an answer,” he wrote.

Teaching them how to handle the “war on the Catholic Church,” Gehring advises, “Several bishops have used inflammatory and irresponsible rhetoric that conflates a process of working through complex policy issues with a fundamental attack on the Catholic Church.” He also frets over the politicization of the religious liberty campaign, an effort made possible, he neglects to say, because of the politicization of religion by President Obama.

Not to be outdone, Gehring presses his lackeys to victimize the victim, beckoning them to ask the bishops—all of whom refuse to prostitute their principles—“Are you willing to sacrifice Catholic charities, colleges and hospitals if you don’t get your way on the contraceptive mandate?”

Finally, Gehring provides a go-to list of Catholic activists who can be counted on to subvert the bishops’ message. It’s what we would expect from a George Soros group.

On GBTV Thursday, Glenn Beck took aim at the memo and encouraged viewers to support the “Fortnight for Freedom:”

Too bad the Nazis didn’t take out young George and spare the other six million. As for wondering what the Catholic bishops want, it’s for the POS Obama to keep his creepy Kevorkian hands the hell out of our churches and our lives.

I am totally convinced Obama is a Muslim Trojan Horse. Trump is right - gasoline prices are collapsing when they normally rise. The Saudis are supporting him because he is a fellow Muslim advancing an anti-Christian, anti-Israeli agenda.

And Soros is their bagman.

We need another crusade.

The Americans make the biggest catch of all in the capture of Herman Gehring, one of Hitler’s most loyal men.

Soros wasn't a sympathizer, he was a collaborater. He may not have liked what the Nazi's were doing, but as long as they were there, why not make a profit?

First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out—
because I was not a communist;
Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
because I was not a socialist;
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
because I was not a trade unionist;
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
because I was not a Jew;
Then they came for me—
and there was no one left to speak out for me.

Thank you Glenn Beck

This surprises exactly no one here. The problem is Oprah Nation.

It will take a cut-off of taxpayer-funded freebies to wake them up, and that’s where we’re headed. I hope.

Seems like Gehring misspells his name; it’s supposed to be Goering. Or maybe Goebbels.

Personally, if I had to lay money, I’d bet that he is an atheist with radical Muslim sympathies. He and they utilize power and fear to achieve their ends. Whoever is right, the Punk is one bad dude. Bob
