text: Firstly, most excellent analysis of Chaput's response. 10/10, better than Cats.
   
  Also, nice work on a sober, open-minded interpretation of the email content. I'm almost swayed but I still think Podesta with his outfits reads as political social engineering rather than some Church internal struggle. No different than behind-closed-doors hijinks at places like Cato. Bigotry - not so much. Battle for money, power, and votes - oh, yes. The attempt is comical really. The Catholic Spring freeing Christians from the Roman magisterium occurred hundreds of years ago leading over the years to a buffet of 'democratic' albeit non-Catholic, Christian options available to dissenters. These orgs will be lucky to make even a flash in the pan. 
  
  Finally, sorry, but only an out of touch fool would discount information because it's coming out of Wikileaks or Julian Assange because he's supposedly anarchist, love or hate what they do. I highly recommend reconsidering completely your judgement here.
