A newly leaked email shows Hillary Clinton’s current campaign chairman John Podesta and a Left-wing activist casually discussing fomenting “revolution” in the Catholic Church. “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,” Sandy Newman, president and founder of the progressive nonprofit Voices for Progress, writes to Podesta in an email titled “opening for a Catholic Spring? just musing.”
In response, Podesta assures Newman to rest easy for he and his progressive pals have already created organizations explicitly designed to infiltrate the Catholic Church with progressive ideology, though he cautions that the time may not be right for full revolution — just yet.
“We created Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good to organize for a moment like this. 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 writes.

I'm a liberal and a Catholic (more out of tradition than anything else) and I 100% agree with this.
There does need to be a movement in the Catholic church to get it out of the dark ages. Women should be able to be priests, plain and simple.
Can you tell me why this is an issue?

So a religion can be changed whenever? Hummm, seems to diminish the legitimacy of the religion....

I don't see a problem. I actually see this like a great test of faith. Besides that, if Podesta thinks he can change the church, he has to go through God's approval or fail attempting all that.
I wonder if this is predicted in the bible.

Alert the Pope.

"Go through God's approval" - you mean bribe the Pope?
Didn't Mussolini get away with that?

Perhaps we can begin with the idea of the separation of Church and State...
Should the State be setting up institutions designed to infiltrate and disrupt religious organizations...to further their own political agendas?
I think not.
