regarding your editorial <u+201c> anti-catholics for clinton <u+201d> (oct. 13): the emails from hillary clinton <u+2019>s advisers knocking religion and calling for front groups to change the teachings of the catholic church are no surprise. thanks to wikileaks, we now learn that in one email john podesta assures sandy newman: <u+201c>rest easy<u+201d> for he, mr. podesta, and his progressive friends 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<u+2014>just yet. he continues: <u+201c>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 <u+2018>spring<u+2019> movements, i think this one will have to be bottom up.<u+201d> i don<u+2019>t recall, in the history of our country, knowing of any candidate for president or any other major office whose party has been found to hold a bias against any faith or religion and is plotting ways to <u+201c>infiltrate<u+201d> and change its church<u+2019>s beliefs and practices through <u+201c>revolution<u+201d> from within. discovering such an outrageously un-american plot should be a frightening awakening for us all. for decades many catholics have believed that the democratic party was their friend and ally. now we know that, not only is the democratic party no longer an ally of the catholic church, but the party leadership is working to be its saboteur. martha and bill dodd clearwater, fla. speaking at the women<u+2019>s world summit on april 23, 2015, hillary clinton, herself, stated: <u+201c>laws have to be backed up with resources and political will . . . and deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs . . . have to be changed.<u+201d> thus, we are warned. if she becomes president, the justice department, the irs and even the supreme court will be used against churches whose <u+201c>deep-seated religious beliefs<u+201d> against, say, abortion on demand, will be made to pay a dear price. hugh t. sharp williamsburg, va. if the little sisters of the poor thought they had it rough under president obama, the latest clinton revelation of her disdain for catholics and evangelicals should be considered a preview of what is to come. joe novak chardon, ohio it<u+2019>s notable that in all of the commentary following the release of the recent clinton staff emails mocking catholics, the commentators have overlooked the fact that the same emails mock evangelical christians more. when jennifer palmieri says of those who are catholic, <u+201c>their rich friends wouldn<u+2019>t understand if they became evangelicals,<u+201d> she is making the point that evangelicals are even more out of touch than catholics. and there will, apparently, be no consequences either for ms. palmieri or mrs. clinton for such outrageous comments. once again, only christians are <u+201c>fair game<u+201d> for mockery in today<u+2019>s leftist culture. stephen w. reed pasadena, calif.
