ARCHBISHOP CLAIMS IGNORANCE OF SOROS

ABORTION TIES

Yet he chaired a Soros affiliate

by Martin Barillas • ChurchMilitant.com • July 28, 2020

 

"GUATEMALA CITY (ChurchMilitant.com) - Archbishop Gonzalo de Villa y Vásquez of Guatemala denies knowing of the pro-abortion advocacy of the Open Society Foundations (OSF), a group funded by leftist financier George Soros — despite the archbishop's past leadership role in a Soros affiliate.

 

On July 9, Pope Francis named the fellow Jesuit to serve as metropolitan archbishop of Guatemala City, beginning in September. Born in 1954 in Spain, Abp. Gonzalo de Villa presides over the Guatemalan bishops' conference and was bishop of Sololá-Chimaltenango in Guatemala's interior, which is notable for its large number of indigenous-language speakers. He has also served as leader of the Society of Jesus in Guatemala and has advanced degrees in theology, Latin American studies and political science from Latin American and Canadian institutions.

 

Both of his parents were notable human rights advocates. His mother, María Teresa Vásquez de Villa, was among the 37 persons burned to death at the Spanish embassy during a confrontation between police and peasant activists in 1980. The metropolitan see of Guatemala has been vacant ever since the 2018 death of Gonzalo de Villa's predecessor, Abp. Óscar Julio Vian Morales.

 

Money from billionaire Soros funds the OSF, the Foundation to Promote Open Society, and the Jennifer and Jonathan Allan Soros Foundation, complexes of dozens of leftist grantmaking organizations and affiliates that are active worldwide. Planned Parenthood, the American Civil Liberties Union and the Brennan Center for Justice are among many other leftist organizations that benefit from Open Society funding of more than $1 billion per year. Soros himself is reputedly worth more than $26 billion."

"Views on antisemitism and Israel

When asked about what he thought about Israel, in The New Yorker, Soros replied: "I don't deny the Jews to a right to a national existence – but I don't want anything to do with it."[218] According to hacked emails released in 2016, Soros's Open Society Foundation has a self-described objective of "challenging Israel's racist and anti-democratic policies" in international forums, in part by questioning Israel's reputation as a democracy.[219] He has funded NGOs which have been actively critical of Israeli policies[220][221][222] including groups that campaign for the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement against Israel.[220]

 

Speaking before a 2003 conference of the Jewish Funders Network, Soros said that the administrations of George W. Bush in the U.S. and Ariel Sharon in Israel, and even the unintended consequences of some of his own actions, were partially contributing to a new European antisemitism. Soros, citing accusations that he was one of the "Jewish financiers" who, in antisemitic terms, "ruled the world by proxy", suggested that if we change the direction of those policies, then anti-Semitism also will diminish. Abraham Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League later said that Soros's comments held a simplistic view, were counterproductive, biased and a bigoted perception of what's out there, and "blamed the victim" when holding Jews responsible for antisemitism. Jewish philanthropist Michael Steinhardt, who arranged for Soros's appearance at the conference, clarified, "George Soros does not think Jews should be hated any more than they deserve to be."[223] Soros has also said that Jews can overcome antisemitism by "giv[ing] up on the tribalness".[224]"

 

How very interesting!
