If you sometimes wonder why clerics sometimes do things that seem bizarre, always follow the money:
Leftist Billionaire George Soros donated $650,000 to groups lobbying American bishops in favor of “progressive” domestic policies, according to emails made public by Wikileaks. Soros used his Open Society Foundation and Faith in Public Life, two liberal organizations, to use the September 2015 visit of Pope Francis to the US to “shift national paradigms and priorities in the run-up to the 2016 presidential campaign.”
The group DC Leaks has released more than 2,000 documents from groups associated with Soros.
The money was donated in April 2015 and a report on the effort says successful achievements included “buy-in of individual bishops to more publicly voice support of economic and racial justice messages in order to begin to create a critical mass of bishops who are aligned with the Pope.”
“In order to seize this moment, we will support PICO’s organizing activities to engage the Pope on economic and racial justice issues, including using the influence of Cardinal Rodriguez, the Pope’s senior advisor, and sending a delegation to visit the Vatican in the spring or summer to allow him to hear directly from low-income Catholics in America,” another document states.
Go here to read the rest. PopeWatch wishes that Pope Francis could be explained by the evil machinations of George Soros, but alas that is not the case. We should rather view Soros as an ally of Pope Francis in using the Church as a leftist tool.
Agree with you Donald. Pope Francis has conceived and re-purposed the Church as a socialist propaganda organization for the purpose of political manipulation. He is, in effect, a pied piper of evil leading the lambs to slaughter.
Sobering news. Another scenario of the smoke of Satan entering the sanctuary.
One day Jorge Bergoglio and George Soros will die, as shall each of us. Then comes the judgment.
