The lay staff at the USCCB is loaded with far left Democrat socialists. The Executive Director in charge of the Campaign for Human Development, John Carr (http://www.usccb.org/comm/source/background.shtml#carr) is a former Hubert Humphrey acolyte who hated George Bush. He is typical of many others on that staff who view the funds contributed by local parishes as their personal slush fund for rewarding their favorite liberal groups under the guise of "social justice".

They funded ACORN with over $7 million in the last few years, over a million last year during the Obama campaign until they were exposed for the frauds they were.

The bishops who are very inexperienced in things financial and political tend to let the left wing staffers have their way, often ignorant of machinations of these staffers and the radical groups they fund.

USCCB does do some outstanding charitable work, but that does not excuse the behavior of these left wing opportunists. Parishioners would be wise to lay off contributions to the Campaign for Human Development until the bishops take control and cut off these political zealots.
