WikiLeaks: Podesta and Left-Wing Activist Plot ‘Catholic Spring’

Longtime Clinton confidante discussed infiltrating the Catholic Church with progressive ideology to foment revolution

A newly leaked email shows Hillary Clinton’s current campaign chairman John Podesta and a Left-wing activist casually discussing fomenting “revolution” in the Catholic Church.

“There needs to be a Catholic Spring, in which Catholics themselves demand the end of a middle ages dictatorship and the beginning of a little democracy and respect for gender equality in the Catholic Church,” Sandy Newman, president and founder of the progressive nonprofit Voices for Progress, writes to Podesta in an email titled “opening for a Catholic Spring? just musing.”

“There needs to be a Catholic Spring, in which Catholics themselves demand the end of a middle ages dictatorship and the beginning of a little democracy and respect for gender equality in the Catholic Church.”

The emails were leaked in the third round of releases of Podesta’s emails by WikiLeaks.

Newman, who is Jewish, admits he does not know much about the Catholic Church and isn’t volunteering personally to subvert Catholic teachings. “Even if the idea isn’t crazy, I don’t qualify to be involved and I have not thought at all about how one would ‘plant the seeds of the revolution,’ or who would plant them.”

In response, Podesta assures Newman to rest easy for he and his progressive pals have already created organizations explicitly designed to infiltrate the Catholic Church with progressive ideology, though he cautions that the time may not be right for full revolution — just yet...

Oh, wow. Don’t get me started.

Texas is loaded to the gills with the Leftist agenda parading through the Catholic Church, obviously disguising our illegal invasion as Social Justice, so many bishops waving *open borders and *immigration as a prioritized mission for entire dioceses. Just enraging.

“Voting advice” has been passed down from the USCCB, making its way into Sunday newsletters, to convolute prudential judgement on abortion, immigration and social justice, by burying the life issues in yards of too many words. By the time you come out at the other end of the advisory opus, you realize that pro-LIFE precedence was too vague for words, and got no higher designation over the grifters invading the southern border.

It is getting too disturbing for words.

Messiah (Hebrew: משיח; Mashiah, Mashiach, or Moshiach) literally means "anointed one," referring to the priest/king/prophet's anointing with sacred oil; in Greek, this is Christos, "anointed".

"Christos" does not mean "sun god." The Greek "sun god" was Apollo Helios.

James was the brother of Yeshua, and knew full well that creations of men are corrupt.

Until the Hebrew originals surface, we will have those that gloat over Greek corruptions of the epistles.

Tammuz was the “Cristos” for millennia before pagans created “Christianity”

His Mom was “Mother of God,” and “Queen of Heaven” too.

But the so-called Tammuz was never the "Christos" ("anointed") of God.

You've got your deities mixed up.

And he didn't have a Jewish Mother as did Jesus Christ Our Lord, so he could not have claimed to be the Jewish Messiah.

Not seeing much movement or commentary from the Bishops, are you?

My parish priest was lamenting about this very thing this morning after mass.

Sandy Newman ... would that be this Sandy Newman who was farting around with Project Vote’s manipulation of black churches? Project Vote’s slogan : “It’s a Power Thing.” Well, obviously it’s not a religious faith thing...

Off in Washington, D.C., those efforts were scrutinized with great interest by the founder of a new voter-registration organization. Sandy Newman, a lawyer and civil-rights activist, had founded Project Vote! the year before to promote registra¬tion among low-income and minority voters. At the time, his operation was still centered in the nation’s capital, pioneering such now-commonplace practices as registering people at food-stamp and welfare offices. While Project Vote! was indi¬rectly involved in the Harold Washington registration effort, donating money to the black wards’ voter-registration drives, it did not start a branch in Chicago. “The group already at work there was fine,” Newman says. “We decided to support them with funds, rather than compete with them.” Even after the minority-registration effort in Chicago fell apart following the death of Washington, Project Vote! opted to avoid Illinois. “The Democratic Party in Cook County was still actively using a bounty system for most registrations,” Newman says, “and we didn’t wish to get associated with that.”
* * *
Carol Moseley Braun’s upset primary victory over Alan Dixon last March altered Newman’s feelings. “It’s not that I wanted to influence the Senate race,” Newman says. “Project Vote! is nonpartisan, strictly nonpartisan. But we do focus our efforts on minority voters, and on states where we can explain to them why their vote will matter. Braun made that easier in Illinois.” So Newman decided to open a Cook County Project Vote! office and went looking for someone to head it.
The name Barack Obama surfaced. “I was asking around among community activists in Chicago and around the country, and they kept mentioning him,” Newman says. Obama by then was working with church and community leaders on the West Side, and he was writing a book that the publisher Simon & Schuster had contracted for while he was editor of the law review. He was 30 years old.
When Newman called, Obama agreed to put his other work aside. “I’m still not quite sure why,” Newman says. ‘’This was not glamorous, high-paying work. But I am certainly grateful. He did one hell of a job.” -—
