This diabolical duo will work ‘Stronger - Together’ to squash our Religious Liberty. Our Religious Liberty will go by the wayside after she serves her first 4 years. We all know that the Clinton campaign is working hard to gain the Catholic vote by its actions. Somehow these ‘backwards’ Catholics are just what she wants as voters. The Catholic vote has become critical in winning presidential elections. GW Bush received the Catholic vote in 2004 with 52% and, disturbing as it was, Obama won the Catholic vote with 54%in 2008 and 50% in 2012 with Joe Biden, another so- called Catholic at his side. Catholics voting for Obama paved the way for the perilous times we are now experiencing in American politics. Tim Kaine, who dares to call himself a Catholic, is Hillary Clinton’s running mate and will stop at nothing to reshape the Catholic mindset.
Kaine’s voting record in the Senate on life goes against his Catholic faith and is deeply rooted in abortion. Planned Parenthood and NARL prochoice America (National Abortion Rights Action League) both rated him with 100%. If Kaine is elected, he will support Roe vs Wade and Hillary’s stance on partial-birth abortion. Yet, this same man is against the death penalty! His remarks about same-sex marriage summarize his arrogance to say that the Catholic Church will accept gay marriage by infusing his own personal beliefs about his faith. “I think it’s going to change because my church also teaches me about a creator who, in the first chapter of Genesis, surveyed the entire world, including mankind, and said, ‘It is very good.’”
TIM KAINE on Same Sex Marriage
"I think it's gonna change." - Tim Kaine on the Catholic Church and "gay" marriage
Kaine brags about his time studying in Honduras, but doesn’t mention his focus while there. This is an excerpt from CatholicVote’s research into Tim Kaine:
During his stay in Honduras, Kaine openly embraced Liberation Theology, a controversial political ideology cloaked in Catholic teaching, but radically at odds with the Catholic Church and with the United States. At the time, this extremist ideology was adopted by activists and even some clergy who were openly hostile to the Church, the Pope, and the United States. The Marxist elements of this ideology were condemned by the Vatican in the 1980’s and 1990’s. During his time in Latin America, Kaine was surrounded by radicals and their influences took root in the version of Christianity he adopted. According to the New York Times article, ‘In Honduras, a Spiritual and Political Awakening for Tim Kaine’, it was this theology that set him on a “left-veering career path” influencing his politics to the present day.
Hillary knows exactly where she wants to take America... from a free country to a Socialist country, as shown by her choice of Kaine as her ‘perfect’ running mate. The emails released by WikiLeaks illustrate how the ‘discussion’ on Catholics as ‘backward’ and the ‘Catholic Spring’, referring to a Catholic Revolution, come together. The Democratic Party is doing what it can to destroy the Catholic Church from the bottom up, claiming they want the CATHOLIC VOTE! They have targeted Catholics in order to change their views on abortion and same-sex marriage making for a more ‘equal’ society.
In preparation for the upcoming November election the most Catholic states and areas have been littered with newspaper full-page ads by ‘Catholics for Choice’. These ads have been repudiated by the Catholic Church in America. Catholic doctrine teaches the sanctity of life from conception to natural death. It has been made exceedingly clear by prelate’s decree and pastors from the pulpit throughout the United States that ‘You cannot call yourself a Catholic and reject the sanctity of life by active support of abortion’.
The recent disclosure of WikiLeaks on the Clinton campaign shows in blazing liberal style their contempt for Catholicism. In spite of the fact that the Hillary Campaign desires the Catholic Vote to win, there is no love for Catholics. John Halpin of the Center for American Progress is a self-admitted Catholic who sent out his‘Conservative Catholicism’ email to Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta and Jennifer Palmieri who is the current director of communications for the campaign. His email mocks the teachings of Thomas Aquinas and infers that “no one knows what the hell they’re talking about.” This anti-Catholicism permeates the Hillary Clinton campaign. In simple words, religious bigotry is abundant in Hillary’s camp but only towards Catholics and Evangelicals.
In another email from Podesta to Sandy Newman founder of Voices for Progress, Project Vote and Fight Crime: Invest in Kids, muses at a possibility of a Catholic Spring, a Catholic revolt against the Catholics bishops, the teachings of the Church and Jesus Christ. Catholics had better not sit on this latest threat. It is alive and well, openly initiated with the ‘Catholics for Choice’ full page ads.

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

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.
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.

We created Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good to organize for a moment like this. But I think it lacks the leadership to do so now. Likewise Catholics United. Like most Spring movements, I think this one will have to be bottom up. I'll discuss with Tara. Kathleen Kennedy Townsend is the other person to consult.

Hi, John, >>
This whole controversy with the bishops opposing contraceptive coverage even though 98% of Catholic women (and their conjugal partners) have used contraception has me thinking . . . 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 genderequality in the Catholic Church. Is contraceptive coverage an issue around which that could happen. The Bishops will undoubtedly continue the fight. Does the Catholic Hospital Association support of the Administration's new policy, together with "the 98%" create an opportunity?
Of course, this idea may just reveal my total lack of understanding of the Catholic church, the economic power it can bring to bear against nuns and priests who count on it for their maintenance, etc. 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. Just wondering . . .
Hoping you're well, and getting to focus your time in the ways you want.

As expected, bogus numbers are thrown into the mix to further confuse the low information voters. In the email Re: opening for a Catholic Spring? just musing… a reference was made to 98% of Catholic women using contraception, without stating that the figure was the result of Guttmacher Institute’s own study. Guttmacher Institute, together with Planned Parenthood, supports the reproductive rights of women, abortion. Believing that the research arm of Planned Parenthood would actually give the correct number of Catholic women on contraception is ludicrous just as we sensibly know that the abortion figures are kept as low as possible on their statistics.
As long as Catholics and Evangelicals believe sources other than their pastors, providing these pastors are basing their sermons on the bible, we will continue to see a rise of secularism, rejecting all forms of faith and worship, and relativism that adhere to the belief that people have different views on what’s moral and immoral. Our Christian values will then be cast aside according to the Democrats plan. Catholics knowingly voting for Hillary/Kaine, who firmly stand against Church doctrine, are part of the ‘Catholic Spring’. Do not be lured by Liberals deceitful messages.
We must continue to pray for America and the American people that they return to the only one that gives us true hope, Jesus Christ.
