Anti-Catholics for Clinton - WSJ - (contempt for people of faith)
The Wall Street Journal ^ | October 13, 2016 (updated)

Posted on 10/14/2016 8:57:36 AM PDT by Beautiful_Gracious_Skies

Via email, campaign advisers show contempt for people of faith.

It’s no secret that progressive elites despise religion, but it’s still striking to see their contempt expressed so bluntly as in the leaked email chains that include Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta.

The source of these documents is Wikileaks......

"This is a window into the intolerant secular soul of the Democratic establishment..."

Y’know, I don’t really care whether it’s John Podesta that fires the fatal torpedo into HRCs campaign, or Al Gore, or HRC herself, or DJT, or Joe Schlampovitz. Just so she loses.

The Clinton campaign’s discussion is a cruel and scathing atheistic attack to say the least.

Hillary Clinton has always had staunch support within the Catholic church. This exposure of the real Clinton and the attitudes that she supports and tolerates should be unacceptable to all Catholics. Has Podesta responded to condemn this rabidly anti-Catholic attitude between his subordinate and a key supporter?

If Catholics have any doubt that evil lurks within the ranks of the Clinton campaign, let it now be dispelled. Hillary Clinton and her minions are not Catholic’s friends and they think that parishoners are archaically stupid. Her campaign has no concern or regard for people of faith, Catholics or otherwise.

The real problem is many people cannot see the forest for the trees. That includes many folks here on FR.

Some are so anti-Catholic that they cannot see that these contemptuous leftists will come after other Christians once they think they have vanquished the RC Church.

Despite all denials, the RC church is the Mother ship of Christianity, and Satan has been targeting the church for 2000 years. It is an easy target, very visible, large numbers of adherents, and has been steadfast against many of the modern heresies mostly related to sexual mores.

I am critical of my church’s leaders, many of the bishops who have not spoken up more forcefully against modern attitudes towards, adultery, fornication, immodesty, illegitimacy, pornography, etc. If they had stepped up to the plate in 1973 about abortion, our cultural decay could have been averted. The problem was that most of the bishops are descendants of 19th century Catholic immigrants who were deemed unwelcome by the GOP party leaders. So, their home culture was centered on being Catholic and Democrats. The obtuseness of many Catholic voters today has totally ignored the evil percolating within the Democrat party.

I am going to vote for Trump, but with a sad heart. I had hoped he would forsake his narcissism, and concentrate on the serious issues now in America. We are in such dire straights. But, alas, time is getting short. I hope he can gather his wits about him and regain the real issues which we all are concerned about. National Security, economy, immigration, corruption, our military, our vets, etc.

May God have mercy upon us and save our nation, once proudly proclaiming ‘in God we trust’, but drifting into evil.

The pathologically dishonest leftists in Big Media WILL NOT expose the truth on this (or any other) matter. Indeed, they will collude with other leftist to obscure the truth. Big media uses ink in exactly the same way a squid does: as an obscurant.

The duty to expose the truth, therefore, falls to We the People.

If WE don't tell our Roman Catholic (and other Christian) friends about this NOBODY WILL.

Here’s what I could find on a Podesta apology, dated December 2013!

>>>Obama adviser John Podesta today apologized for comparing House Republicans to the Jonestown cult led by Jim Jones, the Washington Post’s Web site reports.<<<

So Podesta basically likens and belittles all who disagree with him and everyone who practices their faith as mindless members of a cult.
Podesta =jackass

“Except, they seem to love Islam.”

They love Islam because Islam hates Christianity. The Devil is happy with Islam, and so are progressives - because both are focused on their Father’s real enemy, Jesus Christ.

The dissension within the Holy Church is Satan’s way of diluting our power.
Had it not been for The Great Schism within Christianity we would not be confronted with islam today. Christians all faiths need to stand up for America and pray for God’s hand to intervene and protect us. United we Stand; Divided we fall.

Time is short and I wish DJT could focus on the issues. However, if he fails to address these nasty appendage attacks immediately, they will be fatal.

We can’t control what the media will do, but Catholics need to mobilize for Trump with endorsements and visible signage, asap.

The rats seem to think they will be insulated from Islam. I have news for them. I was in Turkey, while in the USAF. It's not as bad as other Muslim countries, but I hated it, because of all the Muslims. I couldn't wait to get out of that hole.

“Evangelicals Rally to Trump, Religious ‘Nones’ Back Clinton
Declining share of U.S. public says it is important for president to have strong religious beliefs” Pew research July 2016

Only the Black Protestant vote is backing dems and Hillary. The White evangelical and mainstream protestant churches are primarily republican.

Prior to all the wikileaks, poll show that white Catholics are narrowly backing Trump, but Hispanic Catholics break dramatically for Clinton.

We will see if there is any movement away from the beast next week among Catholics and Evangelical Christians.

I haven’t seen any of that. As far as I’ve seen, on FR both Evangelicals and Catholics have been in total solidarity with each other when it comes to this issue with the Clintons. Both were trashed by the Clinton team.

It seems that you despise non-Catholics so much that you invent adversarial situations which don’t exist. We’re all together on this!! Libs/Clintons hate ALL of us!! The want to destroy ALL of us!!

I do not despise non-Catholics. I have the utmost respect for all observant Christians and Jews.

I refer to those who cannot resist calling Catholics all sorts of names which hark back to the worst of the 19th century know-nothings. Happily those are the minority. And yes, I know that there is a fringe of Catholics who are equally critical and unreasonable in their estimation of other people’s faith. It’s those among us who think that ‘our side’ is the only side that is saved, and every one else is doomed to hell.

My Savior will be the judge, and in the meantime, we Christians must stick together and support one another, especially when our faith and freedoms are at stake.
