The presidential election of 2016 is very
significant to our future. Consider the
important facts below before you cast your
ballot. Hillary Clinton, former Secretary
of State and the nominee of the Democratic
Party, and her staff expressed their
opinion on numerous occasions about
Catholicism and these opinions must be taken
into account in making a decision whether to
vote for her or not. Catholicism is at the
heart of what it means to be Polish from the
beginning of Polish history both on the
banks of the Vistula river as well as on the
banks of Hudson, Mississippi and Ohio
rivers.
On this issue, Secretary Clinton's views are
in opposition to the Catholic Church. She
is a strong supporter of abortion and late
term partial birth abortion - that is the
direct taking of innocent human life as well
as government funding of these procedures
through grants to the Planned Parenthood and
other organizations. She also supports the
Obamacare legal requirements that force
Catholic organizations, like Little Sisters
of the Poor, to include such provisions in
their health care programs.
The recent Wikileaks revelations also point
to the organization by her staff of liberal,
subversive non-profits, falsely identified
as Catholic, to undermine the authority of
Catholic bishops and their teachings on
abortion and same sex marriage.
Clinton's “VP
pick, Tim Kaine, a Catholic?” Bishop
Thomas J. Tobin of Providence noted that
Kaine “has been widely identified as a
Roman Catholic” while at the same time “he
publicly supports ‘freedom of choice’
for abortion, same-sex marriage, gay
adoptions, and the ordination of women
as priests.” “All of these positions are
clearly contrary to well-established
Catholic teachings; all of them have
been opposed by Pope Francis as well.”
Considering this is an election year, the
U.S. Catholic bishops have been unusually
vocal in their criticism of Tim Kaine’s
claims to being a faithful Catholic,
citing his open dissent from essential
moral teachings of the Church. Tim Kaine
is “inventing the content of his faith”
and pushing positions “contrary to
well-established Catholic teachings.”
"It is incorrect to say that the
coming election poses a choice between
two evils. For ethical and aesthetic
reasons, there may be some bad in
certain candidates, but badness
consists in doing bad things. Evil is
different: it is the deliberate
destruction of truth, virtue and
holiness. " "At
one party’s[Democratic
Party]
convention, the name of God was
excluded from its platform and a woman
who boasted of having aborted her
child was applauded. It is a grave
sin, requiring sacramental confession
and penance, to become an accomplice
in objective evil by voting for anyone
who encourages it, for that imperils
the nation and destroys the soul." "While
one may pragmatically vote for a
flawed candidate, one may not vote for
anyone who advocates and enables
unmitigatedly evil acts, and that
includes abortion. “In the case of an
intrinsically unjust law, such as a
law permitting abortion or euthanasia,
it is therefore never licit to obey
it, or to ‘take part in a propaganda
campaign in favor of such a law, or
vote for it'” (Evangelium Vitae,
73).Father
George W. Rutler, pastor of the Church
of St. Michael in New York City.
“Just as living a Christian life involves
much more than going to church on Sunday,
so responsible citizenship requires more
than simply voting on Election Day. More
and more, government agencies are
attempting to punish individuals and
institutions that adhere to the truth that
marriage can only be between a man and a
woman and that every child deserves a
mother and a father.” — Archbishop
Joseph Naumann of Kansas City, Kansas
"look at how each party platform supports
human life from conception through natural
death, the freedom of religion and the
freedom of conscience, the family and the
poor. Finally, do vote, as every Catholic
has an obligation to participate in the
political process.” —Archbishop Samuel
Aquila of Denver
“When we vote, our choices must never be
reduced to a mere calculation of
self-interest. Each of us has a moral
obligation to work toward the common
good. Our vote should always be cast in
favor of what is best for society.” —
Bishop Edward Weisenburger of Salina,
Kansas
Bishop
William Murphy has three
questions for Catholics on Election Day:
"1. Do you think our country is
going in the right direction or the
wrong direction? I believe it is
heading in the wrong direction. If
I am right, then,
2. Of the two candidates running for
president, and of all of the candidates
running for elective office, whether
federal, state or local, which ones
will continue to lead us in the
current direction or which are more
likely to restore justice in those
areas that cry out for such a
restoration?
3. Which ones are willing to lead us
in a direction that is more pro life,
more pro family and more pro truth? Which
ones will recognize and respect the role
of religion in the lives of citizens and
the Church’s right to mediate the truths
of the Gospel and the Church’s teaching
as part of the public life of our
country, in public ministries like
health care, education and charitable
works, without being forced to adopt and
facilitate those cultural practices that
are not consonant with Church teaching?"
'
Clinton’s virulent anti-Catholicism was
laid bare in the recent release of emails
involving key Clinton Campaign officials.
These officials discussed how to sow the
“seeds of revolution” to bring about a
“Catholic Spring” that would change the
Catholic doctrine on abortion,
homosexuality, and other issues. This
strategy of subversion mirrors that which
the Communists employed in Poland (and
elsewhere) in their attempts to destroy
the Roman Catholic Church. Clinton not
only has failed to fire John Podesta or
Jennifer Palmieri. She didn’t even
distance herself from them. Neither
Clinton, nor anyone in her campaign, has
issued even a word of apology. As Cardinal
Dolan correctly stated, “If it had been
said about the Jewish community, if it had
been said about the Islamic community,
within 10 minutes there would have been an
apology and a complete distancing from
those remarks.” In other words, Hillary
believes that trying to subvert the Church
(the Bride of Christ) is nothing to
ashamed of.

Polish
Americans and
the
Presidential
Election:
Defending the
Heart of Our
Community
Polish
Americans, as
do all
Americans,
face a
difficult
choice in this
year’s
presidential
election.
Both the
leading
candidates,
Hillary
Clinton and
Donald J.
Trump both are
viewed
negatively by
a majority of
Americans.
While third
party
candidates may
seem more
appealing, a
third party
candidate has
never won a
U.S.
Presidential
election.
Therefore, the
choice is
between “The
Donald“ and
Hillary.
Period. In
this
situation,
rather than
“vote the
person,” we
forced to look
more closely
than usual at
the issues
they
champion.
This analysis
shows that
Polish
Americans who
care about our
community
cannot vote
for Clinton
because she is
vehemently
anti-Catholic.
Clinton’s
virulent
anti-Catholicism
was laid bare
in the recent
release of
emails
involving key
Clinton
Campaign
officials.
These
officials
discussed how
to sow the
“seeds of
revolution” to
bring about a
“Catholic
Spring” that
would change
the Catholic
doctrine on
abortion,
homosexuality,
and other
issues. This
strategy of
subversion
mirrors that
which the
Communists
employed in
Poland (and
elsewhere) in
their attempts
to destroy the
Roman Catholic
Church.
Clinton not
only has
failed to fire
John Podesta
or Jennifer
Palmieri. She
didn’t even
distance
herself from
them. Neither
Clinton, nor
anyone in her
campaign, has
issued even a
word of
apology. As
Cardinal Dolan
correctly
stated, “If it
had been said
about the
Jewish
community, if
it had been
said about the
Islamic
community,
within 10
minutes there
would have
been an
apology and a
complete
distancing
from those
remarks.” In
other words,
Hillary
believes that
trying to
subvert the
Church (the
Bride of
Christ) is
nothing to
ashamed of.
Neither the
good Cardinal,
nor we, should
be surprised.
Podesta’s and
Palmieri’s
plotting is
the logical
conclusion of
Hillary’s own
views. In
April 2015,
she proclaimed
loudly in a
radically
pro-abortion
address at the
Women’s World
Summit in New
York that
“deep-seated
cultural
codes,
religious
beliefs and
structural
biases have to
be changed.”
Ever an
activist,
Clinton is
striving
through
surrogates to
radically
change the
religious
beliefs of
the Catholic
Church
regardless of
the U.S.
Constitution’s
guarantee of
religious
freedom or
what Catholics
themselves
might want.
Nowhere is
Hillary’s
anti-Catholic
social
Bolshevism
clearer than
on abortion.
Hillary is a
radical
advocate of
what St. John
Paul the Great
aptly called
the “culture
of death.“
Both recently
canonized
Saint Teresa
of Calcutta
(Mother
Teresa) and
Pope Francis
are in full
agreement with
our saintly
Polish Pope:
abortion is a
great evil
that cannot be
supported. In
contrast,
Clinton almost
seems to see
abortion as a
positive
good. She
fully backs
using our tax
money to fund
Planned
Parenthood.
Clinton
supports
unlimited
late-term
partial birth
abortions, as
contrasted
with Trump in
the last
debate.
Make no
mistake,
Hillary will
grant no
quarter to the
Catholic
Church.
Neither she
nor Barack
Obama have
ever done so
to those they
see as their
enemies. Her
radicalism is
demonstrated
in her
energetic
opposition to
even the
compromise
Hyde
Amendment,
which limits
the use of tax
money to fund
abortions. As
President,
Clinton would
all but
certainly
reach for
stronger
“enticements”
and move to
eliminate the
tax exempt
status of the
Catholic
Church by
accusing it of
undertaking
“political”
activity
(defending the
unborn and
traditional
marriage).
President
Hillary would
very likely
follow the
lead of
radical
Houston Mayor
Annise Parker,
who wanted to
prosecute
pastors who
opposed
homosexuality
in their
sermons for
“hate
crimes.”
While Parker
relented under
public
pressure,
Clinton would
be unlikely to
do so as she
would all but
certainly be a
one-term
President.
Hillary’s
onslaught
against the
Catholic
Church as
President will
strike
directly at
the heart of
the Polish
American
community: our
parishes. No
other part of
our community
can compare to
our parishes.
They are the
organizational
axis that the
religious,
cultural,
educational,
social and
political life
of Polish
American
community
revolves
around.
Anything that
threatens our
parishes,
threatens the
existence of
our
community.
This is a
non-negotiable
item. Simply
put, our
parishes (be
that Roman
Catholic or
Polish
National
Catholic) are
our
Westerplatte
from which we
cannot
retreat.
The only way
to keep our
parishes and
church safe
from
persecution is
to defeat
Hillary
Clinton. The
only candidate
who can do
that is Donald
Trump.
Boorish
braggart he
may be, he
also just
happens to be
the only
candidate who
has repeatedly
promised to
protect
religious
liberty and
,by analogy,
the heart of
the Polish
American
community--our
parishes. ***
Trump on Poland and Polish Americans.
Donald Trump,
Republican
candidate for
the President
of the United
States, spoke
to the
Polish-American
Congress,
representatives
of 10 million
Polish
Americans, on
28 September
in Chicago.
Mr. Trump's
powerful
speech focused
on the
security of
Poland. He
said:
"I
pledge to you
that the Trump
administration
will be a
true, true
friend to
Poland and to
all Polish
Americans"
"As president,
I will honor
Poland's
sacrifices for
freedom.
We're
committed to a
strong Poland,
very
committed,
totally
committed, and
a strong
Eastern
Europe, as a
bulwark for
security and
liberty. "
Regarding the
security of
Europe, Trump
stated that: "Poland is one of
only five NATO
nations,
countries,
that's
actually
paying two
percent of GDP
to provide for
their
defense." Trump
stressed that
"we want NATO
to be strong,
which means we
want more
countries to
follow the
example of
Poland."
He added that
"if every
country in
NATO made the
same
contributions
as Poland, all
of our allies
would be more
secure and
people would
feel better
even better
about NATO."
He promised
that,"
we'll work
with Poland on
strengthening
NATO when I am
President. We
will
strengthen
NATO"
Implying the
damage of
Yalta, Reset,
and other
appeasement
policies that
sacrificed
Poland to
Russia, he
added "and
I will tell
you, I will
never let you
down."
Trump praised the
Polish
Government for
sensible
policies with
regard to
refugees from
the Middle
East. He noted
that the
Polish
Government
does not look
at the
"refugee
issue" in a
vacuum but
sees it from
the
perspective of
an
uncontrolled
deluge of
refugees to
Europe and of
terror
attacks.

criticized
Hillary
Clinton
because
she "wants to
bring in
refugees from
Syria at a
rate of 550%
more than
Obama who's
bringing them
in by the
thousands and
thousands and
thousands."
Trump added
that while "campaigning
for his wife,
Bill Clinton
attacked
Poland,
saying,
"Democracy is
too much
trouble,"
which was an
interesting
statement,
wasn't it?
Democracy is
too much
trouble. And
-- for Poland,
apparently,
because he --
he disagreed
with Poland's
opposition to
bringing in
refugees. And
yet his wife
wants to bring
in refuges
from Syria at
a rate of 550
percent more
than Obama,
who's bringing
them in the by
thousands and
thousands and
thousands. "
"So the -- Bill Clinton made
that
statement. And
he talked
about -- for
Poland. And
all of the
time, I'm
talking about,
we can't allow
people to come into this country from other parts of the world that we
don't know who
they are,
where they
come from,
what their
intentions
are, and all
you have to do
is take a look
at what
happened,
whether it's
in New York or
whether it's
in San
Bernardino or
whether it's
in Orlando or,
frankly, you
can go outside
of the country
very nicely,
also. Paris
and Nice, and
all of the
different
places.
Germany, look
what's
happening in
Germany. It's
a disaster.
And yet Bill
Clinton will
make a
horrible
statement or
like that,
concerning
Poland."
It
is worth
mentioning
that Poland
has over 500
years of
democratic
experience,
more than any
nation in
Europe. In the last two years, Poland accepted over a
million
Ukrainian
refugees and
migrants, due
to the
Russian
supported
conflict in
eastern
Ukraine.
Donald Trump also
promised to
adopt the Visa
Waiver Program
for Poland
that would
allow Polish
tourists to
travel
visa-free to
the US, the
same as other
European Union
members.
In a
remarks
preceding
Donald Trump's
speech, former
New York City
Mayor Rudy
Giuliani
assured Polish
American
leaders that
the Trump
Administration
will practice
"peace through
strength" by
using a tough,
President
Reagan-style
type of
negotiations.
Rudy Giuliani criticized Hilary Clinton, the former
Secretary of
State, for
incompetent
and weak
foreign
policy, for
abandoning
missile
defense
project in
Poland and the
Czech
Republic, and
for faulty
reset policy
toward Russia.
Giuliani
stated "you
can be sure
when Donald
Trump will be
elected as
President of
the U.S.,
Poland will
have,
once again, a
totally
reliable ally
in the USA."
