‘Useful Idiots’: Soros Attempts to Alter Catholic Moral Discourse Through Enormous Donations


George Soros may have thought he was buying goodwill among Catholics for some of his latest donations, but not everyone was willing to accept his goodwill without a critical eye. Turns out, they were right.

A noted opponent to all things Christian, liberal “philanthropist” George Soros has been investing heavily in Catholic “useful idiots” to change the tone of Catholic moral discourse in the United States, according to a new essay in the Washington Times.

The essay, written by Father Robert Sirico, a Catholic priest and founder of the Michigan-based Acton Institute, explores how leaked documents from Soros’ Open Society Policy Center reveal enormous donations to two faith-based organizations, calculated to advance Soros’ political agenda by deemphasizing abortion and religious freedom while championing liberal “social justice” causes in the lead-up to the 2016 election year.

The leaked documents, Sirico contends, reveal Soros’ “crass political intention to manipulate church leaders,” suggesting that Soros views Catholic Church leadership “as mere useful idiots to be manipulated to further [his] own political and, frankly, secularist agenda.”

According to Father Sirico, “Mr. Soros was contributing to the effort to recruit 10,000 volunteers while training 3,500 others for mobilization in order to influence the Catholic Church during Pope Francis’ 2015 U.S. visit.”

The donations, summing some $650,000, were made to People Improving Communities through Organizing (PICO) and Faith in Public Life (FPL), two social justice warrior groups that run “faith-based” activist networks.

George Soros may think that he can influence Catholics the same way he’s influenced liberals around the world, but, if this report is any indication, they may not be as ‘idiotic’ as he thought.
