Against The Pope
Posted on 05/26/2022 12:02:32 PM PDT by MarvinStinson
Two George Soros-funded leftist pressure groups — Faith in Public Life and Faithful America — have launched a petition drive protesting San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone’s decision to bar Nancy Pelosi from receiving Holy Communion because of her aggressive abortion advocacy.
“A holy sacrament should never be weaponized for political ends or to fight the culture wars,” the letter accompanying the petition declares, adopting arguments famously articulated by then-Cardinal Theodore McCarrick in 2004.
“Your reckless action defies the pastoral guidance of Pope Francis and will only further divide our churches at a time of intense partisan polarization,” the letter states.
In 2016, leaked documents from Soros’s Open Society Policy Center revealed enormous donations to Faith in Public Life.
Father Robert Sirico, a Catholic priest and founder of the Michigan-based Acton Institute, declared at the time that the leaked documents revealed Soros’ “crass political intention to manipulate church leaders.”
Soros considers Catholic Church leadership “as mere useful idiots to be manipulated to further [his] own political and, frankly, secularist agenda,” Father Sirico said.
Faith in Public Life accepted Soros’s monies despite his self-proclaimed atheism. The leaked documents explicitly asserted that the donations formed part of Soros’s “long-term project of shifting the priorities of the U.S. Catholic church.”
A portion of the Soros gift in 2016 was spent promoting John Gehring, a former assistant media director at the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, as a commentator to national media outlets.
Gehring is the former communications director at Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good, a group created by John Podesta, former campaign chairman for Hillary Clinton, to plant the seeds of “revolution” in the Catholic church. The plot to subvert the Catholic church from the inside was revealed by WikiLeaks in 2012, when it published a series of Podesta’s emails.

Both groups have repeatedly downplayed the moral evil of abortion while advocating for LGBT issues and the Democratic Party.
They “demand”?
Or else what?
Not their house, not their rules.
I’d like to see the Pope weigh in on this.
Soros the Atheist demands Pelosi receives communion
Are those people at ‘The Bee’ at it again? ;)
But the tell is in the "appeal to authority" argument used re: Pope Francis. Maybe they should pressure the Pope to make a statement to the contrary of the actioms the Archbishop took. That would go over like a lead balloon, and would potentially spark schism, especially since Pelosi is openly defiant.
LOL surely you can’t be serious :)
The Bible is being accused of being weaponized.
The next headline will be:
Soros-backed groups demand that God relinquish His almighty power one day per week.
The Bee should do something with this
Adam Schiff has evidence of the vatican colluding with the Russians
I have a second reply that's not suitable for publication.
“A holy sacrament should never be weaponized for political ends or to fight the culture wars”
A culture the Catholic church replaced in a “culture war”—cutting out the hearts of defeated tribesmen to make the rains come. Isn’t it a bit better the Catholics won that “culture war”?
And people blame Putin for kicking Soros and similar NGO’s out of Russia years ago....
What are friends for?
Satan’s army is vast, but it is not superior to God’s authority.
