“I am Catholic,” Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine said in a Sunday interview on ABC. “I’m very, very serious about my Catholicism, and Hillary [Clinton] views that as an asset. She asked me to be on the ticket with her.”

Kaine’s comments were an attempt to explain away anti-Catholic emails that had been leaked from the gmail account of top Clinton aide John Podesta. In one particularly illuminating exchange, various players in Clintonworld discussed Catholicism as if it were some kind of disease.
