Trump Catholic Advisory Group Demands Vice President Biden Denounce Anti-Catholic Bigotry and Call Cardinals Dolan and O'Malley to Apologize
FREE Catholic Classes
The Catholic Advisory Board to the Donald Trump/Pence campaign has issued a statement regarding the absolute lack of apology for the anti-Catholic bigotry in the Clinton camp exposed by WikiLeaks. At this point, any Catholic who casts a ballot for Clinton is also voting against their own faith. The statement follows below. -David Drudge

Joseph Cella, the Catholic Liaison to the Trump/Pence Campaign, released the following statement regarding the anti-Catholic statements of Clinton campaign officials revealed in hacked e-mails published by Wikileaks:
Hillary Clinton's campaign immediately apologized yesterday for illegally dumping human waste from her bus into a sewer, but it has been eight days since the anti-Catholic statements in Clinton campaign officials' e-mails were revealed, and neither Hillary Clinton nor any of the officials involved have apologized to Catholics and all people of faith in the United States for something much worse, the filth of vicious anti-Catholic bigotry.
When presented with the outrageous comments,Tim Kaine questioned the veracity of the e-mails and dismissed them as mere "opinions" that need no apology. At a time when Catholics and the issues of greatest concern to them are under assault,Tim Kaine's refusal to acknowledge the bigotry expressed in the e-mails fuels the concerns of Catholics that they - and their religious freedom - will continue to be attacked.
Last evening at the Respect Life Dinner in New York City, Cardinal Timothy Dolan, Archbishop of New York, denounced the anti-Catholic e-mails as "extraordinarily patronizing and insulting to Catholics."
Since Hillary Clinton, Tim Kaine, and all of those involved in this shameful bigotry have yet to apologize, and none of the perpetrators have been reprimanded or fired, we call on Vice President Joe Biden to publicly denounce the content of these e-mails while he is in New York and Boston today delivering speeches, and acknowledge that they have no place in society, whether from behind the privacy of a keyboard, or in the public arena.
And as a Catholic, today, when in New York and Boston, Vice President Biden should personally call to apologize to Cardinal Dolan and Cardinal O'Malley - and all Catholics in the United States - for these hateful words. Such a gesture would be particularly appropriate given their shared Irish heritage and the dark history of oppression faced by Irish Catholics in the United States.
