Catholic Campaign for Human Development 2011: Part 2

As pointed out in Part I of this series on the 2011 collection of the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD), many dioceses are gearing up for the annual November appeal. At the same time, CCHD critics are reiterating that, for its entire 40-plus years of existence, the collection has been disbursing money to organizations that advance blatantly immoral and politically partisan positions.

Part I examined CCHD’s defensive cry that many of its funded organizations are meeting with disapproval because their critics are find them “guilty” by association. It looked at CCHD’s funding the Idaho Community Action Network as a good example of a group whose “guilt by association” was, indeed, pretty damn guilty by organizational choice.
