Moore, who was raised a Catholic, admitted that his upbringing provided him with a strong sense of social justice. Inspired by the peace-movement priests Daniel and Philip Berrigan, Moore briefly attended a seminary at age 14. Later, he became an Eagle Scout, and for his Eagle Scout project, he produced a slide show of the worst polluters in Davison. At Davison High School, he starred on the school's debate team, participated in student government, and created a controversial school play which satirized the behavior of people well known in the community. Moore was hardly all seriousness, though, and he was voted class clown.
He's been trained from childhood to be the traitor he is.
There is quite a network of bishops who trace their origins to the Archdiocese of Detroit. Cardinal Dearden , who served as Archbishop of Detroit from 1958 to 1980, is widely acknowledged as the architect of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops, of which he was the first president in the early 1970s. Dearden groomed priests for ordination to the rank of bishop who were well-known as extremists before they were named bishop. And some of Dearden's men who formerly maintained a low profile have since come into their own.
The most well-known of Dearden's progeny in the hierarchy is Bishop Thomas Gumbleton, who for at least 30 years has been traveling on the fringe of many leftist movements. He gave much support to the Communist regime in Nicaragua, and most recently has been on the lecture circuit promoting homosexuality as an acceptable lifestyle.
Two additional Dearden descendants are worthy of note in their dissent from Catholic teaching and support of others who dissent. They are Bishop Joseph Imesch, of Joliet, Illinois and Kenneth Untener, of Saginaw, Michigan.
I highlight Gumbleton because as part of a group called Pax Christi he was Ramsey Clark's ally in the campaign against the Iraq oil embargo. I imagine his roots trace back to Berrigan's organization, and that he's linked to Moore.
