WikiLeaks Bombshell: The Soros/Clinton/Vatican Partnership

The Remnant Newspaper ^ | November 4, 2016 | Elizabeth Yore

[ebb tide]

Thanks to WikiLeaks, we learn that in preparation for the U.S. Papal September visit, the Vatican proactively sought input from the most radical fringe of the Democratic Left. Is this Pope Francis’ idea of his peaceful ‘dialogue and encounter?

All roads to the Francis Vatican lead back to George Soros.

The secret roadmap is provided by both the WikiLeaks’ release of John Podesta emails and DCLeaks documents from George Soros’ Open Society Foundation. These emails corroborate that Soros operatives are collaborating with top Vatican cardinals, at the behest of George Soros.

In August 2016, DCLeaks documents hacked from Soros’ Open Society, exposed the $650,000 Soros grant to PICO, a radical organization of community organizers for the express purpose to travel to the Vatican for strategy meetings in anticipation of the 2016 election.

What ever happened at the Soros-funded Vatican meeting? Not surprisingly, the outcome of the PICO 3-day Vatican meeting suddenly materialized in the WikiLeaks emails of John Podesta inbox. A detailed report on the critical PICO/Vatican trip would certainly be of critical interest to the Chairman of the Clinton Presidential Campaign, underscoring the Soros/Clinton/Vatican partnership. (Full disclosure: Soros gave $25 million to the Clinton presidential campaign and Podesta previously chaired the Soros’ Center for American Progress). And, indeed, the meeting notes disclose valuable insight and intelligence about the leftist cabal at work in the Vatican.

WikiLeaks pulls back the curtain on the radicals entrenched in the Francis papacy. The PICO Vatican meeting was not simply a brisk cursory papal meet and greet. Rather, documents reveal that Alinsky activists were invited, welcomed, and dined in intense strategy sessions with high level Vatican cardinals. The leaked emails expose the leftist political machinations behind the Francis papacy, where the Soros-funded community organizers coordinated radical messaging with high level papal cardinal confidantes.

Why would Soros underwrite this Vatican trip? It is obviously a wise investment with long term benefits.

The Podesta email cache reinforces the ongoing collaboration of Soros globalists with Francis and his papal minions. From the moment of Bergoglio’s papal elevation, George Soros identified Bergoglio as a kindred spirit, a radical globalist, with the much sought after authority and moral voice of the Catholic Church. Pope Francis shares Soros’ world view: climate change, mass migration, income inequality, globalism, and capitalism bashing.

Within weeks of the new Francis papacy, Jeffrey Sachs—a longtime member of George Soros’ brain trust, also a recipient of $50 million of Soros funds, and top UN official—was invited to and featured as the Vatican’s premiere expert on the radical climate change agenda.

As indication of his favored status, Sachs spoke at the Vatican 18 times during the first years of Francis papacy. Sachs orchestrated the UN/Vatican alliance on climate change and assured the Pope Francis seal of approval on the UN Sustainable Development Goals and Paris Climate Treaty, inaugurating the globalist agenda. Several Soros confidantes and advisors, are firmly entrenched at the Vatican’s Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences promoting the UN/Soros environmental globalist agenda, and the anti-capitalist Occupy Wall Street protests.

The WikiLeaks Podesta emails reveal that the Vatican solicited advice from, and collaborated with leftist community organizers to advance the political platform of the Democratic party. Soros strategically funded PICO progressive activists who appear to serve as de facto advance men for the upcoming Pope’s U.S. trip, by discussing papal site visits and political messaging with key Vatican hierarchy.

With the daily cascade of WikiLeaks from John Podesta emails, the Vatican is further unmasked as a sympathizer of the American radical left. The Podesta emails expose the extremist collaborators in power and control in the Francis papacy. From 6/22/15 WikiLeaks-Recap to John Podesta about the Soros-Pico Vatican junket:

“Our team included several PICO African-American pastors deeply involved in Black Lives Matter (BLM)(Soros funds BLM $33 million in one year, ed.) including a Pastor from St. Louis who is on the Ferguson commission; Rev. Alvin Herring, our Deputy Director, who has worked closely with clergy in Baltimore; a DREAMer from Florida; a priest from California who was formerly undocumented himself; a Black Catholic Deacon who is leading our work on mass incarceration in New Orleans; and two workers from SEIU helping to lead the Fight for 15 workers”

Soros dispatched his social justice community PICO activists to the Vatican with orders to shape and frame the Pope’s message to Americans. Among the PICO activists in the Vatican delegation was Pastor Michael McBride, who was arrested in Ferguson protesting the phony trumped up mythical drumbeat of police brutality against the not so “gentle giant” Michael Brown. The discussion with the top officials at the Vatican over three days of meetings centered on the leftist agenda:

“We conveyed our view that the Pope is a World leader of historical significance; that his message of exclusion, alarm over rising inequality and concern about globalized indifference is important for the U.S. to hear and see animated during his visit; and that we intend to amplify his remarks so that we have a more profound moral dialogue about policy choices through the election cycle of 2016.”

Strikingly, the underlying purpose of the Vatican trip in the report to Clinton Campaign Chairman Podesta is that the delegation reinforced to Vatican officials the 2016 Democratic election talking points. PICO, on instructions from Soros, sought to bang the drumbeat of racial animus, discontent, inequality, and exclusion with the Vatican Curia and Francis speechwriters.

The email confirms that Pope Francis will underscore a strategy of similar themes and messages promulgated from PICO activists:

“[O]ur visit affirmed an overall strategy: Pope Francis, as a leader of global stature, will challenge the “idolatry of the marketplace” in the U.S. and offer a clarion call to change the policies that promote exclusion and indifference to those most marginalized.”

The PICO delegation provided stories of injustice and inequality to the Vatican curia. Imagine the race-baiting Ferguson protestors regaling Vatican officials with tales of rampant police brutality and the murder of Michael Brown and other innocent black men! Did the Francis Cardinals even bother to check the outcome of the trumped up Ferguson police brutality charges? Unlikely.

“In our meetings with relevant officials, we strongly recommended that the Pope emphasize – in words and deeds – the need to confront racism and racial hierarchy in the US. Conversations that were originally scheduled for thirty minutes stretched into two hour dialogues.”

Alleluia! Sounds like everyone was singing from the same Kumbaya racial discrimination hymnal. How ecumenical of the Vatican to dialogue with Black Lives Matter activists! Did the economic “idolatry of the marketplace” include the $33 million that George Soros provided to BLM protests? Doubt it.

As in our breakfast conversation with Cardinal Rodríguez, senior Vatican officials shared profound insights demonstrating an awareness of the moral, economic and political climate in America.”

Clearly, the Vice Pope (#2 at the Vatican) Cardinal Maradiaga Rodriguez promotes and shares the messaging from the community organizers of the American left. While providing input for the Pope’s upcoming U.S. visit, the Vatican and PICO delegation agreed that Pope Francis would visit a prison during his trip to the United States. Not surprisingly, during his stopover in Philadelphia, the Pope Francis visited a prison!

We were encouraged to believe that the Pope will confront race through a moral frame. We were told that the Pope will visit a prison while here – demonstrating his concern about incarceration.”

The Soros marching orders for the PICO delegation was to hatch, implement, and coordinate Pope Francis’ strategic themes and events during his U.S. visit in September 2015. The Vatican agreed to position the Pope’s message in alignment with the Soros funded Alinskyites’ radical agenda. As any political operative knows, race baiting ensures that the African-American voting bloc is energized to vote Democratic. WikiLeaks unmasks the Francis Church where community organizers are consulted as advance men for the U.S. papal visit providing Francis with speech themes from the radical left.

The WikiLeaks Podesta email continues:

“This is why we gathered at the Vatican in mid-June, at the encouragement of Cardinal Oscar Andres Rodriguez Maradiaga, often referred to as the "Vice Pope" and a strong supporter of PICO, who had urged us to share our stories, our perspective, and our hopes for the impact of Pope Francis' visit to the United States, with Vatican officials.”

So, thanks to WikiLeaks, we learn that in preparation for the U.S. Papal September visit, the Vatican proactively seeks input from the most radical fringe of the Democratic Left, which fomented violence and anarchy in the streets over a faux police brutality charge and racial killing charge in Ferguson. Is this Pope Francis’ idea of his peaceful ‘dialogue and encounter?

The PICO/Vatican Radical Alliance Continues in Bolivia turksonCardinal Turkson with PICO delegation at World Movements in Bolivia

The Podesta email discussed that PICO and the Vatican would agree to keep dialoguing about social justice issues at the July 2015 World Meeting of Movements in Bolivia where Pope Francis would speak to global political activists. The PICO delegation received a personal invite from the Vatican to attend the World Meeting of Movements. PICO did attend the Bolivian meeting, along with their Vatican comrades, Cardinals Turkson and Maradiaga and Pope Francis.

The PICO Bolivia trip to the World Meeting of Movements even afforded the PICO delegation the opportunity to share the podium with the Pope, as Francis focused on the obtuse beatitude of “environmental dignity.” Social justi ce activists, like PICO, can quickly adapt and pivot from police brutality and racial inequality to echo Francis concerns about “the impact of climate change on thousands of families.”

While in Bolivia at the World Meeting of Movements, Pope Francis received a revolving gift from Bolivian President Evo Morales, the radical socialist activist. Morales gave the Pope a crucifix swathed with a blasphemous communist hammer and sickle. Catholics were scandalized and horrified over this profanation and politicization of the most precious symbol of Catholicism. Apparently, the Vatican took no offense at the gift because President Morales was invited to the Vatican to share the podium with another socialist, Bernie Sanders in April 2016.

Welcome to Francis Church where Jesuitical political action replaced the mundane and tedious teaching of the salvation of souls. The faded and threadbare Bernardin seamless garment of social justice is resurrected from mothballs by the troubling alliance of the Soros global network and the Francis Church. It’s time to guard your faith and your wallet.

If it helps, my position is that Vatican I was pretty clear. Vatican II was a sloppy disorganized mess, but defined no doctrine, so I’m not sure how you pull doctrinal disunity out of it.

[ealgeone]

Context is your friend in understanding the Word...especially these verses.

[Claud]

Matt 16:18 for the keys, Matt 19:11-12 for celibacy, and John 20:22-23 for confession.

Translations I cited were all over the map. Pick whatever one you like, I’ll likely go straight to the Greek if there’s a disagreement anyway.

[Old Yeller]

And this is where you guys lose your marbles. Because the same Church that wrote the Catechism wrote the Scriptures.

I'm pretty sure none of the authors of the God inspired books of the Bible were Catholic.

[ealgeone]

Thank you.

Let's stay with celibacy for $500 Alex.

But let's keep it in context and pull in 19:3-12.

I don't see how you extrapolate nuns from this text.

A better verse would be 1 Corinthians 7:34. Though this verse seems to suggest an unmarried woman who may be active in the service of the Lord.

32But I want you to be free from concern. One who is unmarried is concerned about the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord; 33but one who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife, 34and his interests are divided. The woman who is unmarried, and the virgin, is concerned about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and spirit; but one who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how she may please her husband. 35This I say for your own benefit; not to put a restraint upon you, but to promote what is appropriate and to secure undistracted devotion to the Lord. 1 Corinthians 7:32-35

She does not have to take a permanent vow of chastity or poverty as in catholicism. The verse in 1 Corinthians does allow for a change if the individual so desires.

[Claud]

He was claiming authority over everything.

No he wasn't. You have to understand the difference between immediate authority and ultimate authority.

I don't have immediate authority over my kid's furniture....he does. He decides what goes where, and I don't bother that. But I have *ultimate* authority over that furniture.....he can't sell it, destroy it, deface it without my permission.

The Church is higher than the state, so the rulers of the state must be subject to the rulers of the Church in those things that pertain to the Church. But that does NOT mean that the Pope has immediate authority over everything. He can't order a king to raise taxes or to devalue the coinage. But he can excommunicate a king for heresy.

[ealgeone]

Boniface was seeking immediate and ultimate authority. He was swinging for the fence.

[Claud]

I'm pretty sure none of the authors of the God inspired books of the Bible were Catholic.

All of them were.

Because any book that wasn't Catholic didn't get put in the Bible. There were a bunch of them: Gospel of Peter, Gospel of Thomas.

[SuziQ]

Perhaps because catholics aren't supposed to question the pope. Ya'll gotta do what he says.

Not sure where you get THAT notion, but it's completely wrong. Folks think when we say infallible, it means every utterance of the Pope. Not at all. The only 'infallible' statements are those that are agreed upon by Bishops representing Catholics all over the world, and those are on doctrine, not political or social justice matters.

For example, the Pope considers Global Warming a problem because of what he has heard from scientists. He's coming from a place of promoting stewardship for God's creation. I can agree with that, but disagree with him about any human involvement in a possible warming of the earth, and there's not a problem with that, because it has nothing to do with doctrine, or dogma.

[ealgeone]

Read up on the time period in which Boniface wrote Unam sanctam.

[Claud]

She does not have to take a permanent vow of chastity or poverty as in catholicism.

Catholicism doesn't say someone has to take a vow. It's an extra that's done voluntarily.

Just like my wife and I took a marriage vow, a nun's vow is very much the same. They take Jesus as their spouse and they want no other.

It's late and I have to get to bed, but fire away and I'll get back sometime tomorrow.

many of the Catholics I know who rarely go to Mass are voting for Trump.

And which are a minority.

The percentage of all Catholics who say they attend Mass at least once a week has dropped from 47% in 1974 to 24% in 2012. - http://www.pewforum.org/2013/03/13/strong-catholic-identity-at-a-four-decade-low-in-us/

A Catholic study reported that the percentage of U.S. adult Catholics who say they attended Mass once a week or more (i.e., those attending every week) was 24% in 2012. http://cara.georgetown.edu/caraservices/requestedchurchstats.html

37% of Catholics who attend Mass at least once a week say using contraceptives is morally wrong while 33% say it is morally acceptable and 30% say it is not a moral issue. — http://www.pewresearch.org/key-data-points/u-s-catholics-key-data-from-pew-research/#abortion

Over 75% of those who left Catholicism attended Mass at least once a week as children Pew forum, Faith in Flux (April 27, 2009) http://pewforum.org/uploadedfiles/Topics/Religious_Affiliation/fullreport.pdf

Perhaps it would be clearer to write it this way: most of the people I know are Catholic; 75% go to Mass every week and 25% go rarely or never; of the weekly Mass goers, 90% are voting for Trump and 10% are voting for HRC; of the rarely or never Mass-goers, 70% are voting for HRC and 30% are voting for Trump.

Catholics favor Clinton over Trump 51 to 40 percent, according to a recent survey from the Public Religion Research Institute, which co-sponsored the panel at the National Press Club.

Not so fast: Catholic votes may be shifting to Trump Crux Staff November 3, 2016

Now, one top daily tracking poll is consistently putting Trump ahead among Catholics - often by double digits. As of Nov. 2, it had Trump ahead of Clinton among Catholics by 13 percentage points - 50 percent to 37 percent. The poll making this claim is not some obscure or partisan operation, but the IBD/TIPP daily tracking poll - rated by Nate Silver as the most accurate national poll of the last presidential cycle in 2012. - https://cruxnow.com/church-in-the-usa/2016/11/03/not-fast-catholic-votes-may-shifting-trump/

[MayflowerMadam]

When was Vatican II? Was that in the ‘60s?

I don’t know all the ins and outs of the timing and how it impacted people — orthodoxy, liberalism, etc. All I know is that it’s so hard to understand how the Catholics I know are OK with the Dem platform, especially abortion. It makes absolutely no sense at all.

(This election season is making me crazy, BTW!) ;)

[Elsie]

Why aren’t they commenting on a crucial thread like this???

Uh...

It's only 12 minutes old?

[Elsie]

Maybe you’re a slave to your religion and put it above God.

HMMMmmm...

[Elsie]

And again, I see religion laying things on people or calling things sin that God never requires or or calls sin.

In fairness to our Catholic friends, I wouldn’t count on any presidential polls this election cycle even among Catholics.

That being said, Catholic church doctrine is slowly moving towards the liberal gutter and emails like this should illustrate this issue. Unlike us Protestants who can simply move to a more Christ center church, what will our Catholic friends do? Will they abandoned “the one true Church” for Christ or will they remain in a heretical environment?

[iontheball]

No, I do not feel the devil’s presence in this article. I only feel a breath of fresh air. It’s time for the Church, like the U.S. government, to drain the swamp.
________________________________
My point is that the article describes an astounding level of decrepitude within the Church. Who moved these clergy to this scriptural vacuum in the first place? Yes, we should never give up hope and continue to pray for reform.

[metmom]

Yes, the *unchanging church* with it’s multitude of councils and proclamations upon which no two Catholics can agree.

And Vatican 2 didn’t change anything did it?

Except that now nobody can figure out whether there is no salvation outside the Catholic church after all.

[metmom]

Is that official church teaching or your own personal interpretation of Catholic church teaching?
