NEW YORK, July 12, 2019 /
Christian Newswire/ --Catholic League president Bill Donohue (photo) comments on John Gehring's attack on Judy Keane:
Judy Keane is the director of public affairs at the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). She was put on leave for a week after she tweeted some pro-Trump statements; she noted in her tweets that the opinions expressed were her own. This would be of no interest to the Catholic League were it not for the attack on her by John Gehring. [By the way, I have never met or corresponded with Keane.]
Gehring notes that some of Keane's positions, such as her advocacy of a wall to stop people from illegally crashing our borders, is at odds with the position of the USCCB. That may be but that is not Gehring's business.
Gehring once worked at the USCCB in a junior position, and he now heads a militant secularist organization--it is really nothing but a letterhead--Faith in Public Life, funded by George Soros, an atheist billionaire and notorious anti-Catholic.
In 2012, I received a tip from a journalist that Gehring was trying to sabotage the bishops by briefing reporters on the kinds of questions they should ask: He wanted the reporters to nail the bishops to the wall. This was his way of undermining the bishops' Fortnight for Freedom event, an ongoing religious liberty project. Gehring
advised the reporters not to buy the argument that religious liberty was under attack. He was
blasted by the USCCB for doing so. To this day, I am proud of making this tip public.
Since that time Gehring has been involved in the same kinds of anti-religious liberty campaigns that his Soros-funded dummy Catholic organizations have been. In 2016, it was revealed, via the Wikileaks emails, that Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good and Catholics United were set up by Hillary Clinton operative John Podesta to create a "revolution" in the Catholic Church. Gehring's efforts continue to serve that cause today.
Gehring has no moral leg to stand on by criticizing Judy Keane. His hatred of the USCCB, as well as Church teachings on moral issues--to say nothing of his alliance with George Soros--automatically disqualifies him.
