What you posted and I have copied below is very true.
A couple of decades ago, a vile and open gay son of friends was one of the top dogs in Catholic Relief Services. He had an overt gay partner at that time.
He left that phony charity about 10 years ago and goes from community to community to raise money for the gays under a similar cover like “Catholic Relief Services” and to make very good money taking it from the top of the donations.
My only questions is why don’t we hear about this from the Catholics?
“Catholic Relief Services is none of the three.
They are not Catholic. They despise faithful Catholics and only use them and dishonestly take their money.
They do not provide Relief. They are a political organization that supports a left wing agenda.
They are not a Service group. They do not serve Catholics or the needy. They only work to promote left wing agendas.
They should be closed down and eliminated immediately.”
If I start seeing the Baptists in articles like this on Free Republic it’s Katy Bar the Door. The home, the church, the military. . . .what’s left?
That’s been my policy. I do give a small amount to our archbishops call to share. I trust him.

Honestly, this should come as a surprise to none of us.
::facepalm::
Not surprised.
There are those of us who’ve asked the same question and just get labeled as “ hater” or “ anti-Catholic”.
And then we’re told that once a priest, always a priest, and that he is still qualified to consecrate the eucharist and perform sacraments, as long as his intent is pure.
And then Catholic blast other churches for allowing gay clegy.
The double standard is noted by most and ignored by the Catholics.
No more donations from me.
This is not a very direct answer to your inquiry (although I believe the answer to your question is, “NO”) but this pope is an enigma. Even Catholics, after six years, can’t tell you what to expect, or what he actually stands for, nor give any confident assurances of where he is “attempting” to take the Church.
Frankly, I am for one alarmed at all that I see, with the exception of the large pockets of tradition, devotion and piety, but those exceptions are not in power and being removed, reassigned, and rather banished to Malta, if you get my drift.
In fact, let me rephrase that— I’m scared.
I wish there was an answer to that. But with almost 1/2 a million priests in the world, it’s probably not easy to know which ones are gay or not. When they do raise attention to their attractions though, they should quickly be shown the door, IMO.
“But what organization can take its place instead?”
Here’s a suggestion: talk to your pastor and find a deserving family in your parish. Anonymously offer them help as you are able...help with rent or bills, Clothing for the children, groceries, etc.
Several years ago, there was a family in our parish in that situation due to the husband/father going to jail for a term. Several of us helped out with the mother & children who were in a bad way due to the father’s crime. This was coordinated by one of the parish priests and for the most part, the help was anonymous.
Sadly. that particular priest is no longer in our parish.
That is the only way to go. I can’t help but wonder about the curriculum and the diocesan influence on what is taught. In some quarters, it is really quite insidious. I’m not talking about your grammar school, but Common Core was running in many, many archdioceses and it was unrecognizable until a few devout academics saw it and pulled back the veil on it.
And back in 2013, we learned that the NY Archdiocese Health Plan Has Covered Birth Control, Abortion for Over a Decade
That group is new for me. Thank-you for the info and God Bless.
....Or better yet, shut it down, remove the corrupted staff, bring in faithful Catholics who honor Church teachings and re-open. Rebuilt and problem solved.
My parish started a group we called People Helping People. Folks with unneeded or unwanted furniture donate, needy people receive. We have a groups of guys with trucks and trailers to transport the items, a couple of storage facilities to handle overflow, and lots of happy families that now have furnished apartments as opposed to empty rooms with maybe a folding chair.
This has now been expanded to be a city-wide organization.
Do NOT give CRS any money until they get straight with Catholicism.
And the gates of Rome will not prevail...
