Amongst the newly released documents, one email exchange in particular should draw the ire of conservatives--and American Catholics specifically.
The 2011 email, entitled "Conservative Catholicism" comes from John Halpin, a senior fellow at the left-wing Center for American Progress (CAP), and is addressed to Jennifer Palmieri, formerly of the CAP and current Director of Communications for the 2016 Hillary Clinton presidential campaign, and John Podesta. The email, in which Catholic beliefs are referred to as "backwards", drips with contempt for Catholic Americans and Conservative Catholics in particular.
"Many of the most powerful elements of the conservative movement are all Catholic (many converts) from the SC and think tanks to the media and social groups," Halpin writes to Podesta. "They must be attracted to the systematic thought and severely backwards gender relations and must be totally unaware of Christian democracy."
Palmieri piles onto the Catholic bashing in her response.

Not to defend her, but there are a lot of 'backward' Catholics.
With that track record, maybe only 20 million voters will vote for Democrats this year.
