I have been told by other Catholics that CCHD supports liberal causes like abortion and gay marriage and, therefore, was suspicious of it. Could it be that the Church is being taken for a ride from within?Genehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06672484450736725268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-13243454982569772952009-11-21T15:54:40.269-05:002009-11-21T15:54:40.269-05:00I will be happy to support the CCHD again when the...I will be happy to support the CCHD again when the following occurs:<br /><br />1) When I am sure that my donation will go to groups that support, or at least do not oppose in any way, Church teaching on social justice, and family, and Pro-Life issues, based on substantial published research into the funded groups, and;<br /><br />2) When the CCHD publishes prominently on it's web site where all its funds went, including the research and due diligence performed which prove that funded groups in no way oppose the Church or her teaching.<br /><br />In the meantime the money I would have provided to the CCHD will go to another organization which is fully in agreement with Church teaching.<br /><br />Please forward my concerns to the CCHD or the Diocese and let them know of my objection.<br /><br />With respect for the position I know you are in Father.Templarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18204866760862707908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-71249278541140136972009-11-21T14:06:56.430-05:002009-11-21T14:06:56.430-05:00I don't believe one can excuse groups like CCH...I don't believe one can excuse groups like CCHD because "bad organizations can do good work." That is a dangerous rationalization. Hitler loved dogs and was good to his Mama. CCHD is actually pretty anti-capitalist, and "progressive" in most of its philosophy. I think it is a mistake for the Church to play footsie with groups like this. Most of them hate the Catholic Church, but will lie and dissimulate in order to gain Church financial support.Genehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06672484450736725268noreply@blogger.com
