Adhere to Church Teachings

November 8, 2009

Editor, News-Register: There’s a Catholic social justice program promoted by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops called Catholic Campaign for Human Development, better known as CCHD. Money for this organization is raised each year by a special collection on the Sunday before Thanksgiving, and these funds are then distributed to various groups supposedly committed to eliminating social injustices. One of the groups that CCHD has supported is ACORN. Although ACORN always has been a pro-abortion, pro-contraception and pro-homosexual advocate, the USCCB has given them millions of our dollars since the early 1990s, or perhaps longer. In 2008, they quit giving to this corrupt institution. However, CCHD is still donating our money to other groups that promote abortion, contraception and same-sex marriage, despite the fact that these practices are against the teachings of the Catholic Church. Our bishops are supposed to be our spiritual leaders, and a lot of them truly are. However, the USCCB as a whole has failed miserably to defend and uphold what the Catholic Church teachers. For example, our church has always, always condemned abortion. Yet the USCCB still refuses to make the killing of unborn children a priority, even though 50 million babies have been killed by abortion since 1973. In 2000, when the sex scandal broke, they refused to acknowledge that the problem was homosexuality, not pedophilia.
