John Carr is the Director of USCCB's Department of Justice, Peace and Human Development. Among other things, The Catholic Campaign for Human Development is under the umbrella of this department, as is the Catholic Coalition on Climate Change (yes, they've glommed onto that junk science). They also seem to be the organ of the USCCB that is clamoring for the socialist Obama Hell Care bill.
You may have noticed in the bio that he has also served as board chair of the Center for Community Change. Click on that name for a look at their website. Then click here and here for closer inspections that reveals CCC to be rather ominous under its pseudo-idealistic veneer. Actually, if you go back to the CCC website, just take a look at some of their board members (I find that to be most revelatory about an organization, as you get a feel for the philosophical orientations of the board by looking at their other affiliations). You'll see folks from two left-wing labor unions. One is the AFL-CIO. I've led a number of pickets against John Sweeney, owing to AFL-CIO's push for contraceptives in health care policies. You'll see someone from SEIU, the lovely bunch who acted as bully-bouncers at various town halls. The presidnet of Ms Foundation for Women is there to lend a radical pro-abortion flavor to the bunch. We see the ED of moveon.org there. Get the idea?
Let's take a look at the executive director, Deepak Bhargava. He used to be the Legislative Director of ACORN. Now remember as you watch this clip that he and John Carr, USCCB's current Director of Justice, Peace and Human Development are closely tied through the CCC.
Now the big question is, why on earth did the United States bishops retain the so-called services of this man who is buddy-buddy with pro-aborts and socialists? We all know, by the way, that John Carr is by far not the only rotten apple in that bushel. The Les Femmes blog contains an excellent article detailing the systemic woes of the USCCB. Please read it. Jim Fritz, another Catholic Media Coalition affiliate, asked the question in his article, Is the USCCB Intrinsically Evil?
I've no bones about answering that last question with an emphatic "yes". Take note that I believe the conference has become evil - not the bishops themselves, as they are the Successors of the Apostles. However, as they continue to embroil themselves in that unsavory snakepit, they compromise their own ministries and poison the Church.
Suggested action item: Let's tell the bishops that until they clean up this cabal, that you will not donate to any appeals. Of course you would want to donate to a worthy group to fulfill the precept of supporting the Church's work. But the Church's work does not include striking hands with the agents of the devil who want to undermine and destroy Catholicism.
