JBob, I have read the 'smoking' emails and found nothing in them, but I already knew both of the mentioned progressive Catholic groups were in existence long before Clinton, and that they also gained traction during the never ending abuse crisis.  Perhaps you need to read how it is that the GOP became the official party of real Catholics.  There you will find a deliberate program to disenfranchise Catholics from the Democratic party, helped immensely by Carl Anderson's takeover of the Knights of Columbus.  It's worth researching if only to get a grasp on why our religions have become so political.  I would also urge you to take note of how the male Evangelical leadership is being skewered by their female and minority membership for using the abortion card to back Trump.  The USCCB hardly needs to tank their credibility any further than it already is, but they undoubtedly will if AB Chaput and Kurtz are any indication.
