A truly timely topic for your consideration.

I attended the Catholic Citizens of Illinois fundraiser last week and I was thrilled at the announcement made from the Podium.

Illinois Catholics were asked to WITHOLD their donations to the offering that was upcoming to the CHD because the offering was given to ACORN that was tied to election fraud!!

I cheered!!

Ithought they banned ACORN from the list.????

Father Neuhaus notes in this article that since its creation “in the ideological climate of the 1960s,” CHD has never directly supported Catholic charitable activities that aid the poor. It has concentrated instead on funding politically active groups such as ACORN that often support agendas like abortion rights that are in conflict with basic Church teachings.

That’s all I need to know...sending to my Catholic friends to tell them to keep thier money in thier pockets.
