Longtime Clinton confidante discussed infiltrating the Catholic Church with progressive ideology to foment revolution
A newly leaked email shows Hillary Clinton’s current campaign chairman John Podesta and a Left-wing activist casually discussing fomenting “revolution” in the Catholic Church.
“There needs to be a Catholic Spring, in which Catholics themselves demand the end of a middle ages dictatorship and the beginning of a little democracy and respect for gender equality in the Catholic Church,” Sandy Newman, president and founder of the progressive nonprofit Voices for Progress, writes to Podesta in an email titled “opening for a Catholic Spring? just musing.”
“There needs to be a Catholic Spring, in which Catholics themselves demand the end of a middle ages dictatorship and the beginning of a little democracy and respect for gender equality in the Catholic Church.”
The emails were leaked in the third round of releases of Podesta’s emails by WikiLeaks.
Newman, who is Jewish, admits he does not know much about the Catholic Church and isn’t volunteering personally to subvert Catholic teachings. “Even if the idea isn’t crazy, I don’t qualify to be involved and I have not thought at all about how one would ‘plant the seeds of the revolution,’ or who would plant them.”
In response, Podesta assures Newman to rest easy for he and his progressive pals have already created organizations explicitly designed to infiltrate the Catholic Church with progressive ideology, though he cautions that the time may not be right for full revolution — just yet...
What a fool John Podesta is. True Catholics believe what God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost has set down as the rules. Podesta thinks, by subtle pressure, he can change the Catholic religion. For true Catholics, abortion is still a serious sin, homosexuality is still a serious wrong and a serious sin. Goofballs think they can change those beliefs. They cannot ever change the rules.
Just talked this over with two moderate to liberal friends..
“That’s kind of ironic that you would be upset given the courting of the Bible belt by the GOP and the numerous times religion is brought about in the platform”
See? They don’t care. We need bigger news than this crap.
No wonder they wanted to take Trump down before the WikiLeaks dump.
I can’t keep up with all the relevations.
I’m surprised how nasty these emails are. If these emails were sent around in a business, the sender would be fired.

You may think it is crap, but I can guarantee there are Catholics out there that may be upset enough not to vote for Hillary. Even if they stay home, it helps Trump.
You may find this interesting
I don’t FB, but do tweet. I signed up to help Trump a year or so ago.
Mine is tailored to the people I want to read.
Would you go to twitter.com (you don’t have to register) and see what kind of tweets you see and let us know?
Twitter plays games too.
Thanks for the link!

There is video of Hillary claiming,long held religious beliefs will have to be changed.
Sounds like she was in this meeting

That response is a non sequitur. There is a difference to appealing to members of a religion who likely support your political beliefs, to saying that people’s religious beliefs have to be changed, as Hillary and co believe.
Work on Islam first, then get back to us!
Fair point.
All I know is that our local Diocese is putting the full-court press on a PR campaign about “change”. And they’re being very tight-lipped about exactly what “change” means.
Was Francis CC’d?
Catholics will now begin throwing garbage at John Podesta. He is hostile to the Catholic religion.
Seems like they succeeded.
“Was Francis CC’d?”
That’s funny!

>> “So I guess politics and religion can mix after all” <<
Just remember, politics and religion have absolutely nothing to do with Faith!

I hope that the “Catholic Spring” backfires on HRC as bad as the “Arab Spring” in Egypt backfired on Obama.
