I can give information about a money/influence connection: Podesta started the organizations "Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good" and "Catholics United" to promote left-wing agenda in the Catholic Church, to bring about a "Catholic Spring" https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/6293 . George Soros is a top donor for these organizations. http://www.catholicleague.org/podesta-must-now-be-fired/ Soros paid $650,000 to influence Pope Francis when he came to the U.S. https://s3.amazonaws.com/lifesite/opportunities-fund-memo.pdf
