Chapter 5 - "The Unholy Alliance" p. 76- 79

"The election of Pope Francis was seen by Alinskyite activists a dream come true. "I think that Pope Francis is quite an impressive figure," Al Gore said at UC Berkeley in early 2015....

"Leftists quickly turn up at the Vatican, often invited by one of Pope Francis's closest advisers, the socialist Honduran cardinal Oscar Rodriguez Maradiaga. Before the pope's visit to the U.S., a group of left-wing activists from unions and organizations such as the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and PICO National Network (an Alinskyite group founded by the liberal Jesuit father John Baumann) descended on the Vatican to confer with curial members of the U.S. Congress sent Pope Francis a letter, urging him to focus upon politically liberal themes. The leader of this group was Rosa DeLauro, a Catholic who supported abortion rights.

"In 2016, it was revealed by WIKELINKS that the billionaire socialist George Soros bankrolled much of this lobbying....According to leaked documents, Soros's Open Society sought to create a 'critical mass' of American bishops & lay Catholic supportive of pope's priorities.... Hacked emails exposed the depth:

  

  'Pope Francis' first visit to the U.S. in Sep. will include a historic address to Congress, a speech at the United Nations, and a visit to Philadelphia for the "World Meeting of Families." In order to size  this moment, we (Open Society) will support PICO's organizing activities to engage the Pope on economic and racial justice issues, including the Pope's senior advisor, and sending  delegation to visit the Vatican in the spring or summer to allow him to hear directly from low-income Catholics in America.'

"In the emails, the Soros operatives make it explicitly clear that they view Pope Francis a propagandist for their causes"

    'At the end of the day, our visit affirmed an overall strategy: Pope Francis, as a leader of global stature, will challenge the "idolatry of the marketplace" in the U.S. and offer a clarion call to change to those most marginalized....'

"After  meeting, they rejoiced at its success, informing John Podesta, the chairman of Hillary campaign:

' Our visits were dialogues. We conveyed our view that the Pope is a World leader of historical significance.... intend to amplify his remarks so that we have a more profound moral dialogue about policy choices through the election cycle of 2016... that the Pope emphasize - in words and deeds - the need to confront racial hierarchy in the US... As in our breakfast conversation with Cardinal Rodriguez, senior Vatican officials shared profound insights ... an awareness of the moral,,,,, climate in America....

Further disclosures from WIKILINKS confirmed the plotting of Democratic officials to infiltrate the Catholic Church in order to "foment revolution" beneficial to their radical causes. In 2012, in the midst of the Catholic backlash over Obama's contraceptive mandate, John Podesta received a not from Sandy Newman, president of Voices for Progress.

  

  "There needs to be a Catholic Spring, in which Catholics themselves demand an end of a middle ages dictatorship and the beginning of a little democracy and respect for gender equality in the Catholic church," Newman wrote to Podesta.... Podesta replied that the Democrats had set up Catholic front groups to plant those seeds: "We created, 'Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good' to organize for a moment like this. But I think it lacks the leadership for a moment like this. Likewise 'Catholics United.' "Like most Spring moments, I think this one will have to be bottom up."  Podesta was wrong... the following year Francis rose to the papacy and began politicizing the Church in the exact manner that the progressives had envisioned. Indeed, Podesta would later encourage Hillary Clinton to enlist the pope's leftism in her campaign....

"Podesta and his aides also discussed how they could exploit Pope Francis's support for Obama Iran deal.... Podesta was sent a report in which Christopher Hale of Catholics in 'Alliance for the Common Good' proposes getting bishops and cardinals to lean on senators temporizing about the deal...."
