WATCH:Democrat strategist defends Clinton team’s e-mails bashing Catholic faith
.lifesitenews.com ^ | Oct 13, 2016 | Ben Johnson

Posted on 10/14/2016 6:51:06 AM PDT by daniel1212

A Democratic operative is defending leaked e-mails bashing the “backwards” faith of orthodox Catholics, saying they are not anti-Catholic because most American Catholics disregard Catholic teaching on moral issues, anyway...

Halpin called a traditional, conservative reading of Catholicism “an amazing bastardization of the faith.”

Donald Trump’s campaign responded by demanding the officials be fired...

But Julie Roginsky, a Democratic strategist, told Fox News last night that the e-mails express the authentic voice of American Catholics, who also disdain the authority of the papal Magisterium....

Roginsky cited a host of polling data showing that most American Catholics believe contraception and homosexuality are morally acceptable.

A Pew Research Center poll released this summer shows that more than two-thirds of Catholics approve of the HHS mandate, and 54 percent say the government should force Christian business owners to participate in same-sex ceremonies, even if doing so violates their faith.

“What they’re saying is potentially and actually – actually – in step with what the majority of American Catholics believe,” Roginsky said....

Judie Brown of the American Life League has told LifeSiteNews that prominent Catholic defections on moral issues are “further evidence of the decay that is occurring within the Catholic Church in America.”

“Had the bishops, years ago, enforced church law and made it clear...that public defiance of church teaching would result in denial of the reception of Holy Eucharist until such time as the Catholic in question repents of his sins of defiance, we would not today be hearing of outrages” like these, she said.

Anyone and everyone for whom religion means anything at all (except moslems, of course) has reason to vote against hillary and her Leftist policies, which will further degrade all spirituality in the nation.

They took over health care, now they want to take over Catholicism.

This is bothersome because they will come after other conservative Christians next.

I can’t stand the liberal hack, Julie Roginsky, and I leave the room every time she comes on Fox News.

They already have!!!!

The clintons and their Dim operatives HATE Roman Catholics!!!

They HATE Evangelical Protestants!!!!

They HATE Orthodox Christians!!!!

Paul Ryan, who has tried to distance himself from Trump, finds that he is just another despised Catholic after all. NO American of faith can support or tenporize with the criminal clintons, or wth vile atheist Dim operatives like Julie Roginsky.

Make no mistake, you temporizing Mormons—the clintons and creatures like Julie Roginsky HATE you, too!!!! Better come back to supporting Donald Trump—before it’s too late!!!!

Roginsky is Jewish. We love Israel, but the Jews hate us. The Dems hate the Jews. The Jews love the Dems.

Talk about “deplorable”.

The numbers they site are Catholics in Name only (CINO’s). They are also known as “Christers” as they attend Mass only on Christmas and Easter.

A true progressive/leftist and a true Catholic are absolutely irreconcilable. It is impossible to be both. Many people lie to others and themselves and say that both views can be brought together. They can not. In fact, they are enemies.

oops....from 2008

“In a statement late on Tuesday, Bishop Michael Sheridan of Colorado Springs said: “Those Catholics who take a public stance in opposition to the most fundamental moral teaching of the Church place themselves outside full communion with the Church, and they should not present themselves for the reception of Holy Communion.””

**now they want to take over Catholicism.**

I don’t think that will happen.

**“Hillary Clinton should denounce those bigoted, anti-Catholic, anti-evangelical remarks, and her campaign staff should apologize to people of faith and do it now,” Pence said.**

We’ll see if this happens.

Progressive/communists telling us how Catholics have been wrong for over 2000 years, these people are really smart.

The best defense is turned into a good offense. This is a perfect example.

The Lefties, sent into the Church, are exposed publically now and this is a good thing.

As the media has been exposed, so will be the many bishops and cardinals, the USCCB, and the Rome agenda.

Devout, practicing Catholics know their faith, and their Tradition and exactly who the wolves are.

“I can’t stand the liberal hack, Julie Roginsky, and I leave the room every time she comes on Fox News.”

You can add in Gemoooooo Greene, Jessica Tarlov, That Black Peckerhead with the glasses (Richard somebody), the list is endless. And when the couterpoint person is speaking, they are either actively trying to interrupt or they are making faces of disgust or shaking their heads. They all know the “drill.”

If that’s true, why isn’t there a movement to defrock this fraud you have for a Pope right now? He’s an utter disgrace for your churche’s highest office.
