Thanks.

I just looked up Nathan Sooy:

He’s not working there anymore - looks like he got another ‘nonprofit’ job - clean water - smells like another Foundation - TIDE - Annie Casey foundation:

Here’s his facebook - an Alinskeyite drone for sure:

He - helped get out the vote - in Wisconsin.

They won’t get my money but they will get a letter inside the envelope. My priests are good and think well of everyone therefore have no idea how cunning these people are but I’ll attempt to give them some insight. I doubt if it’ll work. Thanks the the information. :)

I’m catholic too and I appreciate you letting us know what the heck is going on.
these Bishops need to be held accountable for supporting groups that are anti-Catholic.

[Never on my watch]

Since the early nineties I have been aware of CCHD’s activities and I don't ever give them a dime. Sometimes I put a note in the envelope saying why I won't, other times just an empty envelope. I advise my friends to do the same.

Unfortunately, I think the parishes get taxed anyway if the donations don't meet the goal.

Reform CCHD coupons for next week's collection.

What’ shocking is that none of these groups are really anti-poverty. They’re just ‘advocacy’ groups. CCHD will never get a dime from me.

Yes, Sooy has moved on but was listed by the CCHD as being there when he money was given.

Thanks for the facebook link where it says:

Nathan Sooy is a fan of:
* Telling Dick Cheney to Shut the Hell Up (by Leftake.com)
* Environmental Working Group
* Repower America
* Health Care for America Now
* AFL-CIO

Thank you.

I always try to put something in the envelope during my parish’s annual CCHD collection, and a copy of this article will do just fine.

This is not an attack on the Catholic Church

This most certainly IS an attack on the Catholic Church, certainly not by you, but by groups the Church is handing money to!

[soycd]

What if in every Catholic church, during the main sermon, at least one member got up and announced that this crap is still
being funded and call for it to stop.

That would be a movement.

[RoadTest]

“before ending its relationship with the controversial group.”

Got caught, eh?

[soycd]

A fair summary of this foolish funding of leftists by the church can be found here...

[Mrs. Don-o]

Thank you for this exceedingly valuable information. I am forwarding it to our Diocesan P+J guy. He is a very good fellow, a Lt. Col. USMC (Ret), cares for the poor and the refugees, and an ardent prolifer in his head and heart and way down to his bones. -— He’ll know what to do with info like this.

Thanks for the ping. I have heard about this before; CCHD won’t be getting any of my money. There are plenty of Catholic charities that do not contravene church teaching.

ping to drop this letter in the collection basket.

“Woe to you, Capernaum!”

Bishops Vote Unanimously To Reaffirm Ban On ACORN Funding

"The Bishop members of the Subcommittee voted unanimously to reaffirm, extend and formalize the decision to end CCHD funding of ACORN organizations because of serious concerns about financial accountability, organizational performance and political partisanship."

There it is folks! The Bishops have said that "political partisanship" is a legitimate reason to defund these groups. How on earth can the CCHD continue to fund such overtly leftwing partisan groups now? What twisted excuse can be used now when so many nonpartisan charities exist?

[NYer]

Thank you for posting this thread! It ties in perfectly with the one I posted on Saturday.

"“There is no way any ACORN-related groups are going to receive any more funding from the CCHD,” Monsignor Burke said, “nor will any other groups that don’t adhere to Catholic moral teaching or decide that they are going to take a partisan political stance.”

Monsignor Burke said there are checks in place to make sure appropriate groups are funded.

Monsignor William F. Burke, pastor of St. Francis of Assisi in Baltimore and CCHD archdiocesan director since 1972.

The checks don't seem to be working...
