The Catholic Church vs Clinton Campaign
If a Catholic chooses to adhere to the Apostolic teachings of the Church and has the gift of faith at least the size of a mustard seed, then you should be more than a little concerned about Hillary Clinton and the agents of her campaign. It would be bad enough if she continued on in supporting advances on homosexual “marriages”, partial-birth (and all forms of) abortion, criminal tax hikes on the already exhaustively taxed middle class, the outright negligent use of classified information, the mysterious deaths of the Clinton family's opponents or former associates, and the list goes on. But here recently, the world was revealed to the Clinton campaign machine's attitude toward the Catholic faithful, specifically.
“Email exchanges—hacked from Hillary campaign chairman John Podesta—between Hillary campaign spokeswoman Jenifer Palmieri and senior fellow at the Center for American Progress John Halpin from April of 2011 mock conservative media mogul Rupert Murdock for raising his children Catholic. According to Hillary's inner circle, Catholics are phonies, only opting to be public Catholics because being an Evangelical is socially unpalatable, and attracted to "severely backwards gender relations.”
“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,” said Halpin.
“I imagine they think it is the most socially acceptable politically conservative religion. Their rich friends wouldn’t understand if they become evangelicals,” Palmieri responded.
“Excellent point,” Halpin replied. “They can throw around ‘Thomistic’ thought and ‘subsidiarity’ and sound sophisticated because no one knows what the hell they’re talking about.”
We also know for a fact and straight from her own mouth that she stands as an enemy to the Apostolic faith from such quotes as,
“Laws have to be backed up by resources and politically will. And deep-seated religious beliefs have to be changed.” - Hillary Clinton, April 23rd, 2015 – Speech delivered at Women's World Summit
And what makes it worse is that a “Catholic” is her running mate, Tim Kaine. This man dares to make no distinction between his fowl political allegiances with Planned Parenthood and LGBT and the Catholic faith! Tim Kaine on several occasions has been quoted in the 'hopes for the Church's stance to change on homosexuality' and when asked about Hillary's progressive abortion stances, he makes a nose dive into 'extreme cases' when her policies do not call for such obscure causes of rarity. But instead, Hillary's policies open flood gates for countless innocent children to be slaughtered even up to the last day before being born! You ask, what is her attitude toward the Church? Hatred, disgust, disdain, rebellious, proud, obstinate, and unrepentant. If we are to delude ourselves into thinking that just because a so-called cafeteria Catholic like Tim Kaine is her running mate, that she somehow is square with the Church, then we are lost as a people. Even if we had not been revealed to these and many other emails revealing her (and those she surrounds herself with) attitude toward the Church, we can see the fruits she produces...and they are thoroughly rotten. Make no mistake and let me be clear on this; Hillary Clinton and those that side with her are making war against the Holy Roman Catholic Church and because it is the Mystical Body of Christ, these unfortunate souls are at war with Christ Himself. May God have mercy on all of them so that they may repent! Read More...
Pope Benedict on Homosexual Marriage
"The Church's conscientious effort to resist this pressure calls for a reasoned defense of marriage as a natural institution consisting of a specific communion of persons, essentially rooted in the complementarity of the sexes and oriented to procreation. Sexual differences cannot be dismissed as irrelevant to the definition of marriage."
"Marriage is holy, while homosexual acts go against the natural moral law. Homosexual acts close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. This same moral judgment is found in many Christian writers of the first centuries and is unanimously accepted by Catholic Tradition."
"Such unions are not able to contribute in a proper way to the procreation and survival of the human race."
"Civil laws are structuring principles of man's life in society, for good or for ill. They play a very important and sometimes decisive role in influencing patterns of thought and behavior. Lifestyles and underlying presuppositions these express not only externally shape the life of society, but also tend to modify the younger generation's perception and evaluation of forms of behavior. Legal recognition of homosexual unions would obscure certain basic moral values and cause a devaluation of the institution of marriage."
"As experience has shown, the absence of sexual complementarity in these unions creates obstacles in the normal development of children who would be placed in the care of such persons. They would be deprived of the experience of either fatherhood or motherhood. Allowing children to be adopted by persons living in such unions would actually mean doing violence to these children, in the sense that their condition of dependence would be used to place them in an environment that is not conducive to their full human development."
"The principles of respect and non-discrimination cannot be invoked to support legal recognition of homosexual unions. Differentiating between persons or refusing social recognition or benefits is unacceptable only when it is contrary to justice. The denial of the social and legal status of marriage to forms of cohabitation that are not and cannot be marital is not opposed to justice; on the contrary, justice requires it."
"Because married couples ensure the succession of generations and are therefore eminently within the public interest, civil law grants them institutional recognition. Homosexual unions, on the other hand, do not need specific attention from the legal standpoint since they do not exercise this function for the common good."
"In those situations where homosexual unions have been legally recognized or have been given the legal status and rights belonging to marriage, clear and emphatic opposition is a duty. One must refrain from any kind of formal cooperation in the enactment or application of such gravely unjust laws and, as far as possible, from material cooperation on the level of their application."
In conclusion: "The Church teaches that respect for homosexual persons cannot lead in any way to approval of homosexual behavior or to legal recognition of homosexual unions. The common good requires that laws recognize, promote and protect marriage as the basis of the family, the primary unit of society. Legal recognition of homosexual unions or placing them on the same level as marriage would mean not only the approval of deviant behavior, with the consequence of making it a model in present-day society, but would also obscure basis values which belong to the common inheritance of humanity."
United Nation Attacks the Catholic Church
The United Nations issues a recent report telling the Vatican to change its stance on abortion, contraception, and homosexuality. Here are a few of excerpts of the United Nations report:
Abortion
The Committee urges the Holy See to review its position on abortion which places obvious risks on the life and health of pregnant girls and to amend Canon 1398 relating to abortion with a view to identifying circumstances under which access to abortion services can be permitted.
Homosexuality
[T]he Committee is concerned about the Holy See’s past statements and declarations on homosexuality which contribute to the social stigmatization of and violence against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender adolescents and children raised by same sex couples.
ContraceptionThe Committee recommends that the Holy See bring all its laws and regulations, as well as its policies and practices, in conformity with article 2 of the Convention and promptly abolish the discriminatory classification of children bornout of wedlock as illegitimate children. The Committee also urges the Holy See to make full use of its moral authority to condemn all forms of harassment, discrimination or violence against children based on their sexual orientation or the sexual orientation of their parents and to support efforts at international level for the decriminalisation of homosexuality.
The Committee is seriously concerned about the negative consequences of the Holy See’s position and practices of denying adolescents’ access to contraception, as well as tosexual and reproductive health and information.
So basically, the United Nations is telling the Catholic Church to change its teachings on moral issues. The United Nations actually thinks its taking the high moral ground by promoting the killing of children, encouraging disordered gay relationships, and preventing the births of babies. The UN condemns the Bride of Christ (the Catholic Church) for proclaiming the truth! This is an example of what happens when Catholics do nothing. Next time someone brings up the subject of abortion, homosexual relationships, and contraception LET THEM KNOW THE TRUTH and tell them that these evils come from satan himself. In fact, do not wait for people to bring up the subject, you bring it up! Do not be ashamed of being a Christian, be bold. You and I will stand before God one day, I do not know about you, but I do not want to tell God I was too scared to loudly preach His truth.
