Wikileaks first dumped emails showing Clintons staffers discussing the "backwards" Catholic Church. This should come as no surprise of course. In another email Podesta describes setting up fake Catholic groups to try and change the religious beliefs of Catholics. The Democrat party and Christian beliefs are directly opposing of course so you can see the logic and necessity.
But the important part, faith wise, is their complaint that the Bishops refused to bend. Despite fooling "98%" of Catholics not one Bishop would bow and backtrack on church teachings to help the Democrats in their game of fooling people. And Hillarys staffers were PISSED about it.
But here is the interesting thing to me. Going all the way back to St Ignatius he said
"Wherever the bishop appears, there let the people be; as wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church. It is not lawful to baptize or give communion without the consent of the bishop. On the other hand, whatever has his approval is pleasing to God. Thus, whatever is done will be safe and valid. — Letter to the Smyrnaeans 8, J.R. Willis translation.
This is from the late 1st early 2nd centuries of Christianity. Over and over you see early Christian saints saying the same thing...stick with your Bishops. Have the Democrats found the truth of this matter inadvertently? That no matter how many laymen and even priests they may fool the Bishops continue teaching Christianity?
The Podesta email with complaints about the Bishops can be found here. The email calling Catholics backwards, retrograde and unable to understand democracy is found here.
A statement from Archbishop Joseph E. Kurtz, President of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops which condemns the Democrats efforts to "interfere in the internal life of the church" can be found here.
