Thanks to: Mindszenty Report: January, 2017 -
Cardinal Mindszenty Foundation - Vol. LIX- No. 01:
The left is losing on the political front, but
its war on the cultural front continues unabated. The left understands that
a takeover of the Catholic Church is critical to this cultural war. For this
reason the left is targeting the Catholic Church as an institution and
traditional Catholic doctrine. Unfortunately this attack is being aided by
liberal Catholic laymen and by Pope Francis himself.
Pope Francis recent appointment of 17 new cardinals
is just the tip of the iceberg. The new U.S. cardinals were selected because of
their records as social justice warriors. At the same time, American Catholic
seminaries are under orders to instruct new priests about "environment
justice" and climate change so that this message will reach
parishioners.
Ironically, while the Vatican is encouraging
instruction seminarians in environmental justice, Rome has entered into
negotiations with China, the worlds's largest polluter, for a rapprochement
between Church and state. There is serious concern is that this rapprochement
would give the Chinese government final say on approving church
bishops.
Wikileaks Revelations:
The WikiLeaks October release of hacked email
correspondence of (Catholic ?) John Podesta, Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign
manager, revealed the American left's deep anti-Catholic bias and its goal of
leftist takeover of the Church. Podesta's emails to Clinton' communication
director (Catholic ?) Jennifer Palmieri, Barack Obama's friend Sandy Newman, who
heads Voices for Progress, and John Halpin, senior fellow at the Center for
American Progress, should be a wake-up call to the faithful that the left's
war on Christianity is more than just rhetoric.
Podesta's emails deride "backward Catholics" who
follow traditional Catholic teachings on gender relations and marriage. The
first exchange between Podesta and Palmieri describes wealthy converts to the
Catholic faith as being attracted to a medieval church out of step with
contemporary culture. Podesta speculates that these Catholic converts "must be
attracted to the systematic thought" that embodies "severely backwards gender
relations." Palmieri replied that these Catholic converts want to form a
religion that is acceptable to their rich friends by becoming Catholics rather
than evangelical Protestants. For Palmieri, being Catholic is a matter of class,
not of faith in timeless doctrine....
`John Halpin warned Podesta that "Many of the most
powerful elements of the conservative movement are all Catholic (many converts)
and are found on the Supreme Court, think-tanks, media and social groups."
Typical of the progressive mindset, Podesta,
Palmieri and Halpin see religious faith as a retrograde, uninformed and
deplorable... Never does it cross their minds that some people convert to Roman
Catholicism, or evangelical Protestantism or, for that matter any religion
because they are sincere believers.... but the next round of mail exchanges in
the Clinton camp reveal a more insidious strategy to subvert the Catholic
Church... Sandy Newman wrote to Podesta that Catholic bishops were continuing to
fight birth control mandate imposed by ObamaCAre...
Podesta tried to allay Newman's concerns by
informing him that something was being done about the Catholic problem. "We
created." he wrote, "Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good to organize for a
moment like this." Podesta had played a major role in setting up this
organization in 2005 to influence the Catholic vote for Obama in
2008...
Plotting to subvert the Church:
Celebrity author of the multi-volume The Story of
Civilization, Will Durante, a socialist anarchist, joined a Catholic seminary to
infiltrate the church in an attempt to change it from within. Birth control
fanatic Margaret Sanger spoke at anti-Catholic Ku Klux Klan rallies to de
legitimize the church in America. In the 1960's, John D. Rockefeller 3rd, in his
efforts to change Catholic attitudes towards abortion and sexuality, funded
abortion conferences at the University of Notre Dame, seeded money for abortion
supporter Daniel Callahan and his Institute for Society .... and gave grants to
abortion groups Catholics for a Free Choice and Catholic
Alternatives...."

A message from Emeritus Pope Benedict XVI, "But where
truth no longer exists, every standard can be altered; one can, in fact, do
exactly the opposite: renunciation of the truth is the real source of our
present crisis."
