Just thought you'd like to know what's going on behind the smoke and mirrors at the USCCB. Here's some of a rather illuminating article from The California Catholic Daily; (Emphasis mine)

Not Only ACORN
Catholic Campaign-Funded Groups Support Same-sex Marriage, Opposed Parental Notification

On July 1, 2009, the Catholic Campaign for Human Development published a list of their 2009-10 grant recipients. These grants were made after the new criteria were established. Two of the four grantees in the city of San Francisco are the “Chinese Progressive Association” and “Young Workers United.”

The Chinese Progressive Association is listed on the “API Equality” website as a “supporting organization.” API Equality is an organization of Asian and Pacific Islander proponents of same-sex “marriage”. The Chinese Progressive Association was also signatory to a No on Prop. 8 election flyer published in 2008 by Equality California. In 2009, the Chinese Progressive Association received a $30,000 grant from the Catholic Campaign.

While uncovering the disqualifying actions of the Chinese Progressive Association might have required a small amount of work, it is impossible to see how the application from Young Workers United made it through the levels of the Catholic Campaign scrutiny.

The Young Workers United published a voter guide to the November 2008 elections right on their website. It is online to this day. Under the recommendation for Proposition 4, (which would have required the parent or guardian of an underage girl to be notified before she undergoes an abortion) we read:


“Prop 4 - Parental Notification No! Back off! Prop 4 backers want to make access to safe abortions for teens nearly impossible. Physicians would be required to notify a minor’s parents or legal guardian of her intent to have an abortion and impose a 48-hour waiting period before she can have the procedure. Young women must continue to decide what’s best for them and not have to resort to dangerous, back-alley, illegal abortions.”

The recommendation on Proposition 8 was more succinct:


“Prop 8 - Limit on Marriage NO! Everyone should have the equal right to get married. Stop hatin’. Plain and simple."

Both Propositions 4 and 8 were supported by the California Catholic Bishops . In 2009, the Young Workers United received a $25,000 grant from the Catholic Campaign.


Someone help me out here.... why in the world would "Catholic" organizations, like the USCCB and The Catholic Campaign, give tens of thousands of dollars to other politically active groups that are diametrically opposed to some of our basic teachings? Please don't tell me that any of you actually believe this to be an administrative oversight.

Christ sent His mother to us with the above quoted warning for a reason. There really are wolves in sheep's clothing within the Catholic Church. Says who? Christ and His most Blessed Mother... that's who.
