LifeSiteNews gives us this mortifying news:
A national group that promotes abortion and homosexual rights has deep ties with the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ (USCCB) Department of Justice, Peace and Human Development, according to a report released Monday.
Top USCCB executive John Carr held simultaneous leadership roles, creating a conflict of interest, with the USCCB and the radical Center for Community Change.
…
John Carr’s relationship with the Center for Community Change goes back at least to 1983, serving in leadership roles from 1999 to 2006 – including as chairman of the board. The Reform CCHD Now report details the organization’s promotion of abortion, “reproductive rights” and homosexuality as among the CCC’s core advocacy focuses.
As one commenter at Patrick Madrid’s blog put it: “Our bishops are not stupid men; they must have been aware of this for some time.“ One would have thought that after the recent CCHD fiasco the Bishops would have performed a thorough and independent scrubbing of the ties of anyone working for the USCCB that in any fashion could affect funding or policy-making.
I only ask this: how many women could have been helped, and abortions prevented, with the funds that instead went to CCC? It may sound harsh, perhaps melodramatic, but when it comes down to it these kinds of decisions cost lives.
