Ahead of Al Smith Dinner, Cardinal Dolan says Hillary owes Catholics an apology

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado, October 19, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – New YorkCardinal Timothy Dolan called for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton to disassociate herself from anti-Catholic statements made by her campaign chairman and said the remarks were “extraordinarily patronizing and insulting to Catholics.”

Asked about the anti-Catholic comments after speaking at The Bishop’s Respect Life Dinner on Monday night for the Diocese of Colorado Springs, Cardinal Dolan suggested that had other faith traditions been the target of the prejudiced remarks, there would have been a swift apology and absolute disavowal of them.

It hasn't happened yet. Hillary never apologizes...she deflects.

Hate to tell you, but your link no longer exists. It's a page not found/page moved kind of thing.
 
Emails released last week by WikiLeaks showed Clinton Campaign Chairman John Podesta and Director of Communications Jennifer Palmieri, both Catholics, in conversations with activists from two left-wing organizations. In the emails, Catholics were debased, with their beliefs being called “severely backwards.” Conservative Catholics also were accused of “an amazing bastardization of the faith,” and Rupert Murdoch was mocked for baptizing his children as Catholics in the River Jordan.

The U.S. Church’s bishops were slammed in the emails as well, referred to as “a middle ages dictatorship.”
Palmieri said in one of the emails she thought conservatives that had come to Catholicism did so because “they think it is the most socially acceptable politically conservative religion,” and that “their rich friends wouldn't understand if they became evangelicals.”

Podesta admitted to helping launch a “progressive” infiltration of the Church in another email, and he took an active role in attempting to incite a liberal Catholic revolt against the U.S. bishops.

“We created Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good to organize for a moment like this,” Podesta wrote. “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.”

The “Catholic Spring” Podesta referred to had been broached in the email by Center for Progress President Sandy Newman, who had pondered, how one would "plant the seeds of the revolution," or “who would plant them.”

Maybe she will send the Catholic she chose as her running mate to deliver whatever apology you think she is supposed to make.

People should be allowed to let steam escape when they have jobs like running a political campaign. You have to smile and act all tactful and reasonable to people who are so full of sh*t it makes you want to scream. (I'm not referring to Catholics necessarily--could be any group opposed to your position.) When I was a social worker with a high pressure job, we did our venting in the parking lot during break and the air was downright BLUE with what we had bottled up all day dealing with screaming clients and blathering administrators. Without a safety valve, we would have all dropped of strokes.
Anyway, the frustration with the Catholic stance sits firmly in Halpin's lap; I didn't see anything in Palmieri's reply that indicates she dislikes her fellow Catholics. It's got nothing to do with Clinton, or even Podesta, who didn't bother to reply to the rant at all.
Meanwhile, Trump can rant publicly against any group he pleases and his supporters think it's just "telling it like it is."
 
The 2008 Al Smith dinner with Obama and McCain was excellent. Way more class than Trump's and Clinton's speeches.

Obama was very good, but McCain hit it out of the park. You can tell he was an officer.
