 TARGET: THE CATHOLIC CHURCH - LEFTWARD PUSH BY SOCIAL JUSTICE WARRIORS

In pursuit of the truth - http://www.cinopsbegoneblogspot.com - Sunday, Jan. 22, 2017

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."
