Wed Oct 12, 2016 - 11:11 am EDT WASHINGTON, D.C., October 12, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – A new batch of leaked e-mails from within the Clinton campaign surfaced Wednesday, showing her campaign chair John Podesta admitting to helping launch a “progressive” group to infiltrate the Church, and taking an active role in provoking a liberal Catholic revolt against the U.S. Bishops. In the e-mail, Podesta responds to a leftist activist’s call for a “Catholic Spring” against the U.S. Bishops over their opposition to the HHS contraception mandate.In his response, Podesta indicates how so-called “Catholic” groups agitating for change in the Church were formed to assist the movement to undermine the Church’s teaching, but reveals that at the time proper leadership was not yet in place to accomplish this. “We created Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good to organize for a moment like this,” Podesta writes. “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.” Podesta’s correspondent, Center for Progress President Sandy Newman, had written: 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 gender equality in the Catholic church. The subject line of the February 2012 e-mail exchange read, “opening for a Catholic Spring? Just musing …” In his e-mail Newman ponders exploiting the U.S. Bishops’ opposition to the Mandate and he asks whether the Catholic Health Association (CHA) might side with “progressives” in their offensive against the Church. “Is contraceptive coverage an issue around which that could happen,” Newman asks Podesta. “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?” The CHA infamously opposed the USCCB in its stand against the controversial Mandate forcing religious employers to provide subsidized birth control and sterilization to its employees in violation of their religious principles, with Barack Obama citing the CHA’s support earlier this year to defend the federal government’s case against the Little Sisters of the Poor. https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/clintons-campaign-chair-worked-to-create-liberal-catholic-revolt-against-bi/?fbclid=IwAR1T1Khxb5Q6RHVLQqH4sF19iKF5BOipvsyzs5Tc9iDvp9fGanO4NT2uo9k
