The following comes from a Sept. 10 article by Valerie Schmalz, first in a three-part series in Catholic San Francisco
Many Catholics in the San Francisco Bay Area were surprised by the strong negative reaction to Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone’s decision to give a talk about traditional marriage at a June 19 Washington, D.C., rally organized to support marriage.
A national online petition from Faithful America and a nationally publicized June 10 letter from 78 politicians and others urged the archbishop to withdraw from the March for Marriage in Washington, D.C. The letter and petition citing “hate” speech by the National Organization for Marriage and the labeling participant Family Research Council as a “hate group” created a media storm and disturbed many local Catholics and pastors….
Faithful America, which organized the letter from political leaders including California Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom and San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee, and an online petition, describes itself as a grass-roots citizens’ organization.
However, Faithful America exists almost entirely online and counts its members by those who sign its online petitions.
It has received funding from the nation’s two top gay political philanthropists, the founder of software publisher Quark Inc. Colorado’s Tim Gill and Michigan medical technology company heir, billionaire Jon Stryker. Both men’s foundations, the Gill Foundation and the Arcus Foundation, were created primarily to promote acceptance of homosexuality. Both men have also contributed millions to candidates and organizations who advocate homosexuality and same-sex marriage.
Faithful America has also received significant funding from progressive philanthropist George Soros, via his foundations. In addition, it received funding from the Evelyn & Walter Haas Jr. Fund, a San Francisco-based foundation that lists acceptance of homosexuality as one of the tenets of its mission statement.
Faithful America, whose website states it is “dedicated to reclaiming Christianity from the religious right,” has launched more than 30 online national petition drives since 2013. The campaign directed at Archbishop Cordileone was one of more than a dozen online Faithful America petitions that collected signatures from a nationwide base to criticize individual local U.S. bishops, Catholic pastors or Catholic schools, most around issues related to homosexuality.
In San Francisco on June 17, about 75 people marched to the archdiocesan offices to present Faithful America’s petition, while the executive director of Faithful America emailed a letter to Archbishop Cordileone signed by 78 politicians and representatives of gay rights groups, including Lt. Gov. Newsom and Mayor Lee. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi sent the archbishop her own letter.
Gregg Cassin, who emceed the San Francisco anti-Proposition 8 rally on the eve of the U.S. Supreme Court arguments last year, spoke with Catholic San Francisco and with the archdiocesan director of communications when the group delivered its petition. However, when Catholic San Francisco later asked about his affiliation with Faithful America, Cassin said he was not part of any organized group….
“Faithful America has never really existed. It’s a website name that’s been owned by various organizations,” said Jack Smith, editor of The Catholic Key, the newspaper of the Diocese of Kansas City/St. Joseph in Kansas. In July Faithful America launched an online campaign to get Bishop Robert Finn of Kansas City to reinstate a parish food pantry worker who lost her Catholic Church job after her marriage to another woman was publicized by a local newspaper….
Very few of the signatures on the Kansas petition came from local Catholics, Smith said. He notes that Faithful America, Faith in Public Life, and the Citizen Engagement Laboratory were and/or are funded by Soros’ foundations. “If you’ve got a Soros organization email list, you can get 20,000 signatures for anything,” Smith said….
Ten percent of those who signed the letter to Archbishop Cordileone publicly have identified themselves as Catholic at one point or another, based on Catholic San Francisco research using Google’s search engine. All of them oppose Catholic teaching on sexuality and marriage. That includes the only signer who identifies as Catholic and lives in the archdiocese: Lt. Gov. Newsom, who presided over the first California same-sex marriages as mayor of San Francisco.
Perhaps 20 of the 78 signers of the letter to Archbishop Cordileone, including Newsom, reside in Marin, San Mateo or San Francisco counties, based on Google search.
The other seven apparently Catholic signers of the letter to Archbishop Cordileone are vocal opponents of Catholic teaching on homosexuality. Six of the seven of signers and organizations have been specifically renounced or chastised by Catholic Church authorities at one point or another. The seventh self-identified Catholic signer is executive director of a non-Catholic organization which opposes Catholic teaching.
The six self-identified Catholic signers who were personally chastised or criticized or whose organizations were chastised or disavowed by Catholic Church authorities are: excommunicated and defrocked Maryknoll Father Roy Bourgeois; Dignity USA executive director Marianne Duddy-Burke; Call to Action executive director Jim FitzGerald ; co-founder of New Ways Ministry Sister of Loretto Jeannine Gramick; executive director of New Ways Ministry Francis DeBernardo; and self-identified lesbian theologian Mary E. Hunt, co-director of Women’s Alliance for Theology, Ethics and Ritual.
The seventh self-identified Catholic signer is Jody Huckaby, executive director of Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG). He leads an organization that promotes same sex marriage and homosexual adoption, but does not identify as religious although he personally calls himself both gay and Catholic….

OVERTIME in EXCOMMUNICATING these so called ‘Catholics’. They are not only bringing themselves down the wrong path to hell (if they do not repent) but also many a person sitting in the pews!!!

These evil people should keep their noses out of our Church. They want to destroy our Church – just like Saul Alinsky.
See: ” OBAMA’s COUNTERFIET CATHOLICS” – and you will see documentation of Soros and others paying for fake “Catholic” groups to destroy them.
You may be surprised.

Thanks Maddie. This is important for everyone to view.
It documents enemies of the Church and their mode of operation both outside and inside the Church.
Know your enemies.
“OBAMA’s COUNTERFEIT CATHOLICS”
https://www.churchmilitant.tv/cia/02fake/
Yes. I hope they throw away their petitions, the church is not ruled on petitions but only on what Christ’s truths says.
Pray for Abp Cordileone.
And back him up in the press whenever you can.
Yes Maddie, I agree. He has to deal with a lot of bull from the opponents. I hate it when people are always watching his every move and if he is not acting in the way they like, they already bash him without understanding how much stress he is under.
Much ado about nothing. This March for Marriage that occurred months ago already, sponsored by NOM, FRC and the Unification Church was a PR disaster because hardly anyone showed up. NOM became a huge media laughingstock as a result and this event probably did more to hurt the cause of real marriage rather than help it. And know that Abp. Cordileone is all talk anyway.
Homosexuals are very powerful in this country because they are the tip of the wedge through which the Democrat/Progressive party seeks to transform America. They will get to Archbishop Cordileone but we should fight them at every step, starting in the voting booth.
Thank you for exposing Soros and “Faithful America”. He will continue to do this by changing the names of his groups.
Most of those signing his petitions are not Catholic.
I am saving this article as a ‘favorite’ to help expose the excommunicated Catholics in the future as well – every time I see them stick their noses in Catholic Church business.
“Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good”, “Network (Nuns)”, “Catholics for Choice”, “Catholics for Obama-Biden”, “Catholics United”,
“Center for American Progress”, “Democracy Alliance”, “MovOn.org”
are just some of the Soros funded anti-Catholic organizations.
Athiest George Soros is great at funding a number of FAKE organizations, pretending that they are “Catholic”, and putting his own paid people in charge of these small groups.
He does this at election time as well.
His purpose is to influence ignorant Catholics, and cause confusion and dissent within the Church.
(See the video link provided by Maddie. It documents and exposes much more, and additional millionaires – including a famous insurance company.)
I am sick and tired of non-Catholics (including but not limited to athiests and homosexuals)
and Catholic heretics and schismatics
trying to dictate to the Catholic Church what they can and can not do, what they must and must not say, etc.
They seem to forget that Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Religion, and Freedom of the Press are all Constitutional Rights for everyone – not just them.
All CA Bishops and faithful Catholics must stand with Abp Cordileone.
We must all Pray for our Bishops every day.
I agree Dottie, it is tiresome. It is more scandalous too when even people of faith tear down the whole church because of the bad actions of some within the church.
Imagine this, there is a family of 10, they are a good Catholic family. In their home, they live a life of prayer, charity and discipline.
But a couple of the children in that home are defiant, they invite evil in, those two also deceive and destroy the peace in their home. They scandalize their younger brothers and sisters. The parents have a moral duty to act and try. But the few children who are of bad will, leave and rebel further. Before their rebellion, the whole community loved them, looked up to them and some even envied them saying “well you look at that, they are a lovely family” but inside them, they were envious and wanted to look for wrong in them. Well the two children who rebelled gave the outsiders just that reason. So then they continued their deceptive ways, spreading untruths about their parents and home life, exaggerating etc.. Those that held the behavior like the Pharisee’s in their circle, starting to shun that family, people started to judge those parents. Some didn’t allow their children to visit …..all because of the bad willed children. Even though in the home of that family, they remained faithful, honored God and actually grew stronger regardless of their two rebellious children. That is what is happening in the church, we have the Father, the Son and His holy Ghost …
His body is the church but as you can see, we have God’s children who rebel against Him and try to change His church…..the church is still a place of salvation even if there is rebellious children dishonoring God.
If only it were just rebellious children, Abecca. For there have always been rebellious children.
The problem lies in not only the children, but the rebellious parents (clerics) that facilitate the bad behavior behind the back of the solid parent (faithful clerics). They misuse their authority to undermine what the family was founded to attain, disrupting the family from the top down.
So while I understand your sadness, I cannot agree that it is only dissatisfied children telling tales. Rather it is mother and father divided – the heads of the Church undecided over how to proceed in teaching and guiding the children. And one parent wields their ‘power’ over the other, fighting among themselves despite the pleasant smiles and seeming adherence to authority. That is what scandalizes the children as they do not know who to obey.
So is the family not a family? No. But the responsibility for leadership comes from the leadership – not the children. Unless, of course, all of the children pull back and demand solid leadership in accordance with what a family is meant to be.
Ann Malley but you are forgetting that Jesus is the head of the church, He has already spoken and as a Catholic I am not without responsibility to seek what the church truly teaches. just like with any Catholic home, He is the leader. The example I gave is one set of parents, the example you gave is another set of parents. I mentioned that they were good parents. The church is universal and there are many heads but who is the main head over them? Christ is. The church contains the truth in Christ. There is a saying that our children do not belong to us, they are borrowed. So if parents do not honor God in how they raise their children, they will have to answer to God, just like we have to answer to God as well for not honoring His commandments to honor our parents.(in this example is the church) Remember we are the church but Christ is what holds us together, and with each household, some honor and obey God, and some don’t.
But It is still His church, just like Judas was chosen by Jesus and still he betrayed Him. We don’t leave Christ just because of Judas. = )
Also King Solomon, I gave an example of him in other threads, one from the article about the synog and also one about the lesbian couple who adopted that baby. (wish to repeat but too long to do so) God gives His gifts but because of free will not all practice and honor God. I’m sure lay faithful back in King Solomon’s times didn’t appreciate the scandals that were coming out by his bad choices, (but he was still King and God placed Him as leader) and also the bible does not state that he made it into God’s kingdom either. But he was still one of God’s people in that lifetime while he was alive. Look at the lineage leading (from the old testament) up to Christ, men where imperfect and yet still they were used for God’s purpose. What I am trying to say is that sin existed then, as it is now. Man has free. Of course we are not to condone sin, and we are not always in positions of power but that does not take our responsibility away from us, we are to remain faithful and be people of prayer, especially in times when we have no power over leadership of bad will or no backbone what so ever. We keep our eye’s fixed on Jesus.
Ann Malley thank you for your charity, I am enjoying this dialogue with you this time around, because we are dialoguing not insulting one another. God answers our prayers, that is for sure. I am grateful for this opportunity with you in charity. I rejoice in His glory forever. I rejoice and wish I can send you a bouquet of Roses representing warm hugs from Virgin Mary. So a decade would do, in your honor.
No, Abeca, nobody is forgetting that Jesus is the head of the Catholic Church – except perhaps many of His representatives on earth that are forgetting to the point of scandalizing the faithful and compromising Truth. And many children are following their bad example unchallenged. Please to do not attempt to put words in my mouth or draw a narrative on my behalf – that is where we get into trouble. (IOW: If you think I’ve forgotten Our Lord is the Head of the Church – ask me. For while you believe otherwise, it is precisely because I have complete Faith that Our Lord is the Head of His Mystical Body that I hold the positions I do.)
The end of the Old Testament has many Israelites seeking shelter in the hills, outside the city. The reason being because one could lose their Faith inside the city – and many did. That is not because they did not hold the Faith, but rather because they did and wanted to preserve its integrity for themselves and their children. (That is also why we are advised when we see the abomination of desolation to flee to the hills. That is also why we are cautioned about blind guides – bad parents. And that is in no way to say that Our Lord has abandoned His Church, no more so than He abandoned the Israelites. Rather the leadership that was to act as His representative abandoned Him.)
So while you point to parents having to be responsible for how they use their authority (either to teach or scandalize), we too will be held accountable for our actions. For if we ‘see’ the wrong, we must suffer it. That is obey in all but sin, Abeca.
Ann Malley, you seem to have a very anti-clerical and distorted view of the Catholic Church. Vague accusations against the clergy are evil.
There is nothing vague in my accusations, Anonymous. Many in positions of authority misuse that authority. So much so that even Pope Francis has spoken out against clericalism.
For it is a distortion to put the clergy on a pedestal as if they are God, instead of Our Lord’s representatives. And it is an absolute distortion of Catholic reality to redefine obedience to mean obey no matter what. One would not be truly obedient to God’s command if they committed sin at the directive of a parent.
The obedience you seem to advocate is rather childish, not child like. Clinging to the letter to negate the Spirit.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you.
Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Good to see you are invoking Our Lady, Anonymous. May She grant you the grace to correspond to grace and Truth when it knocks.
Dottie does not want soldiers of Christ. Dottie wants to silence others and groom useful idiots.
Dottie says, “I am sick and tired of non-Catholics (including but not limited to athiests and homosexuals) and Catholic heretics and schismatics trying to dictate to the Catholic Church what they can and can not do, what they must and must not say, etc.” = Real Translation = ” Dottie is really sick and tired of those who are exposing the compromising Judases within the Church who ARE doing the dictating and the undermining of the Magisterium. Dottie tried this duplicitous silencing tactic to see if she could get any takers to buy her deception. Sadly it often works.
Dottie, If you find it tiresome and cannot stand the heat then remove yourself from the kitchen of reading CCD. It ‘s been a real tiresome sad day for faithful Catholics when they learned that their children were no longer safe due to incompetency, disloyalty to Rome and a great lack of leadership. It is disobedience to Rome in the first place that Dottie should be tired of.
No that is not what she saying!
Dottie you are welcome here just like any faithful is. Keep up the good fight. The circus is starting once again……
The willful misunderstanding of anyone who points out issues that need taking care of is also tiresome, Catherine. The it’s-all-stories mode ends really quickly when the mess lands on one’s front lawn. Sadly, that is what it takes for some to recognize danger. Like Pearl Harbor being bombed.
I wonder if the intelligence agencies that perceived the coming threat were similarly treated back in the late 30’s. As if assessing a very visible and growing threat to the country makes one somehow disloyal for not foolishly believing that nothing bad can happen to ‘my’ country.
A solid history book, and in this case, Catholic Church History could go a long, long way. But even then folks convince themselves that bad things only happen to other people or in other times – back when folks weren’t so intelligent as they are today.
“i am enjoying this dialogue with you this time around, because we are dialoguing not insulting one another.
“The circus is starting once again……” = insultingly Inconsistent
The circus only happens when self-appointed emotional hysteria overrules sound logic. It is important to recognize who the real enemy is. In the Diocese of Orange people have been treated like pariah for simply wanting the TLM or to be able to kneel down after the Agnus Dei at the Novus Ordo. The teachings of the Church are also still being distorted, even in the confessional. Faithful Catholics defended what the Church actually allows and actually teaches. These Catholics were also called names like schismatic for standing up for the truth. Be careful who you choose to paint with the broad and mean-spirited brush of calling others schismatics.The diocese of Orange tried to also silence “the schismatics” who knew that they should be able to have the TLM at their parish. Pope Benedict XVI sided with the faithful Catholics who stood up and defended Church teaching. Pope Benedicts XVI not only did not call them schismatics, he gave us Summorum Pontificum and this was a direct result of Catholics defending the Church. I am tired of you calling it tearing down the whole Church. Well Abeca, Pope Benedict XVI would disagree with you because he listened to those faithful voices who stood up for the truth. What do you think CCD is trying to do…tear down the Church? OR charitably inform all faithful Catholics to stand up and defend “all” of her truths?
“The willful misunderstanding of anyone who points out issues that need taking care of is also tiresome, Catherine. ”
You are absolutely right Ann Malley. It might make one feel noble about themselves but in reality they are attacking their own brothers and sitters in Christ who do strive to uphold and follow “all” Church teaching.
The ‘circus’ is all part of the process as those who believe they are doing God’s will will continue to call in the elephants and the smiling tight rope walkers while saying they . You know the drill.
In the meantime, CCD will call out the dust bunnies and…all manner of &^%$# ! so it can be dealt with – thank the Lord for providing the means. He doesn’t abandon His Church, not at all.
God bless!
to correct the above:
…while saying ‘they’ don’t like circuses.
The chip on your shoulder doesn’t come from God.
And you don’t uphold all Church teaching. Abeca does.
God bless you, Chip, but the shenanigans being carried out by those in positions of authority do not come from God. That’s why acknowledging our own need to clean house and getting down to business would, in my view, be the very best evangelization tool. Not wide eyed blinking and denial of reality.
Honesty is the best policy, much like charity beginning at home. It speaks volumes without having to say a word.
Take care.
Don’t sweat it, AM. It’s all an illusion remember?
George Soros and his followers not only adhere to but have perfected marxist Saul Alinsky’s tactics in “RULES for RADICALS” which was dedicated to Lucifer.

I think the Catholic Church should DUMP its Vatican II-based beliefs and statements, about “non-authority” of Church leaders, and refusal to follow the Code of Canon Law– including, EXCOMMUNICATION, by proper Church authorities!! This is religious and moral dishonesty, cowardice– and suicide! Our Church does not need goofed-up, post-Vatican II, “Protestantized” “re-evangelization” statements and programs, after completely tearing down our Church, at the Council! Ridiculous! She needs a massive, well-organized religious education system — as in pre-Vatican II days– from womb to tomb, and firm religious and moral support and leadership, of the Catholic Faithful— NOT this “make the laymen lead” baloney! Laymen do not have the ecclesiastical power and ability (in the Code of Canon Law), nor the religious and moral seminary training and experience of priests, bishops, and popes— for ecclesiastical leadership and decision-making– in the Church! Pathetic!
Michael Voris is looking into the failures of the mainstream Catholic media in reporting such evil connections as those described by Ms. Schmalz. It appears, from what is seen, to date, that — shock and awe — that our media is literally under the thumb of our dear bishops. Just look around, and see that little bits of Faith that peek out, say from Msgr. Pope and others, are quickly withdrawn, apologized for, attacked by our own episcopal wonders, men such as Cardinal Dolan, Cardinal Wuerl and others. Yet good Catholic men, such as Cardinal Burke are virtually ignored, as are private bloggers, which now represent, just as with politics, one of the few (only??) voices to stand up to the mounting disrespect, and outright scandal, caused by American bishops and Catholic lay leaders. Put it this way — it increasingly looks like they are saying: Your Church — the Medieval Catholic Church — is over and we are now killing any of its vestiges. Figuratively and literally, these people are saying, no, you are wrong: black is black and white is white; we own the buildings and we are going to make the rules (notwithstanding centuries of other things). And, who does this sound like: Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori, and her band of happy, dress-up lady and lesbian priestesses. When you next go to a N.O. Mass, just take a look at how the “regular” biblical readings have been altered (compare, if you dare, with the Douay-Rheims version), did Christ really use the phrase “human beings,” for example (instead of “Men”), and many others of a more serious nature, which change the meaning entirely. Soon, few will be around that even know the difference: remember, all totalitarian governments do the same thing: re-write history (and change Tradition), then re-educate everyone until the past is forgotten. This is what is going on in the Church now, and Satan’s money is behind it; we all need to tell this story.
It should come as no surprise to anyone that money supporting gay rights comes from advocates of gay rights. Neither should it come as a surprise that those who advocate for gay rights oppose the teachings of the Catholic church. A recent article by Cardinal George indicated his fear that the teachings of the church are not acceptable to the majority of people in the country and that as a result the church is becoming less and less relevant to the people of the U.S.. Not good news. But, it may very well be true. How many Catholics do each of us know who are really against same sex marriage, or against gays in general? How many of us know people who do not accept the fact that young people just live together today with no intention of getting married? The list of questions could be long, but the point is that our teachings are not accepted by the majority of people in this country. In many places, the church is, in fact, considered a quasi-hate group. The mores of the nation have changed and the church’s have not. That creates conflict. The point is, the train has left the station and we are still on the platform wondering what happened.
A lot of Catholics oppose the teachings of the Catholic Church (where it comes to sex, gender, divorce, etc.)
A lot of those teachings are political or cultural in nature, and seen as such. They’re about as relevant as Levitical dietary restrictions. Even JPII’s Catechism is very obvious in seeking to write V2’s peak reactionary moment of conservative pendulum swing into stone… expanding five words of the sixth commandment into 70 paragraphs that represent a regressive view of sexuality that Western society has long abandoned by that point.
A small but vocal minority of Catholics appear to believe that the sex and gender aspects of church teaching comprise most of their faith. You see lots of Cathechism citing here. Virtually all of it from one web page:
https://www.vatican.va/archive/ccc_css/archive/catechism/p3s2c2a6.htm
Most people (even Catholics) view the Church as ancient bureaucracy mired in tradition that doesn’t necessarily serve a purpose. But that isn’t necessarily negative. There’s a stability to it. In general, though, the perception that the Church has any authority in its teachings about sex is pretty weak.
“The point is, the train (The Catholic Church) has left the station and we (Bob One and his CINO pals) are still on the platform wondering what happened.”
OK. Now I get your point Bob One.

NEW YORK — Digital First Media, which operates this newspaper and website, announced Friday that it had retained an adviser to help it explore “strategic alternatives,” including a sale of some or all of the company…
Digital First Media, based in New York, was formed in December 2013 with the merger of MediaNews Group and the former Journal Register Company.
It is the nation’s second-largest newspaper company, based on circulation, operating in 15 states, with 800 multi-platform news and information products, including 76 daily and Sunday newspapers — among them the San Jose Mercury News, Contra Costa Times and Oakland Tribune — and 160 weeklies. The company said it serves 75 million customers monthly.
The company is controlled by the hedge fund Alden Global Capital…
Media analysts said it would be hard to find a buyer for Digital First Media as a whole, and that a more likely course would be for regional buyers to acquire pieces of the company.
“They could decide to break up the business into different operating entities -Media analysts have speculated for months about the company’s future. In April, it shut down Thunderdome, an experimental digital newsroom, and it currently is selling 70 buildings, printing plants and other properties.
