Clinton Campaign's Anti-Catholic Emails

So yeah, the Clinton campaign picked Tim Kaine as the vice presidential nominee but a recently leaked email displays the animus and disdain which the campaign views conservative Catholics.

WikiLeaks released an email chain that included Clinton campaign chair John Podesta, Clinton campaign communications director Jen Palmieri, and Center for American Progress fellow John Halpin.

Halpin wrote:

Ken Auletta's latest piece on Murdoch in the New Yorker starts off with the aside that both Murdoch and Robert Thompson, managing editor of the WSJ, are raising their kids Catholic. Friggin' Murdoch baptized his kids in Jordan where John the Baptist baptized Jesus.

Many of the most powerful elements of the conservative movement are all Catholic (many converts) from the SC and think tanks to the media and social groups.

Halpin also says of conservatism among Catholics:

It's an amazing bastardization of the faith. They must be attracted to the systematic thought and severely backwards gender relations and must be totally unaware of Christian democracy.

Palmieri reportedly said that Catholicism is “the most socially acceptable politically conservative religion” and adds “Their rich friends wouldn't understand if they became evangelicals.”

Podesta then chimes in saying,

Excellent point. They can throw around "Thomistic" thought and "subsidiarity" and sound sophisticated because no one knows what the hell they're talking about.

Yup. This is disgusting but it is how the Clinton campaign views Catholicism. And if you're hoping the media will cover this in the way it deserves, think again. I'd bet it'll hardly get a mention on MSM.

In the debate Sunday night, Donald Trump stated that HRC had a heart filled with hatred. Although these bigoted e-mails do not involve HRC herself, I wouldn't expect HRC to express any disagreement with the staffers involved, let alone remove them from her inner circle.

This anti-religion mentality toward Christians and Jews, which seems to be a staple of Democrat Party ideology these days, is reminiscent of the Soviet Union, where mass burnings of religious institutions and jailings and killings of people of faith occurred.

In the meanwhile, Trump should push this issue (as well as HRC and her confidants' antagonism to all observant Christians and Jews) in his campaign.

Dittos for courageous clergy to get the message out to their congregants before Election Day.

We can't let our country become Sovietized by a government even more hostile to religion than the current one.

BTW, Roman Catholics comprise about a quarter of all US voters, so getting the word out on this issue can have a significant effect on the election.

The Left breaks down into many rivalries; but all varieties basically reflect a variety of humanist collectivism. Theirs are inherently anti-theological explanations of reality, since theologies limit the possibilities for Leftist movements to reinvent man, through whatever each advocates as the ultimate objective--almost always drawn from a particular fantasy wish list.

The Left is at war with reality. To believe that they could possibly support or even tolerate, a particular Faith, is to actually deny the veracity of that particular Faith. They will pretend for political purposes; but the conflict is very real.

Not just Catholics. She hit the Evangelicals as well. Basically, as an agent for Satan, she hates all Christian denominations and groups.

Catholics have the redemptive power of prayer and grace, and belief in God.

Progressive liberals like Palmeiri and Podesta believe in the power of "protection".

As long as their genitals are sheathed and insulated against seminal fluid, they've reached Valhalla......the "Big O" without the nuisance of having an actual unborn thing to deal with.

Arm up Christians!

Sadly there are too many ‘sophisticated’ Catholics who feel the same way. To them, we conservative Catholics are just ‘Jesus people’ who can’t think for ourselves. Since we aren’t enlightened enough to jump on the Social Justice bandwagon, because we don’t equate abortion with ‘global warming’, as sinful things, we are simply objects of derision.
