USCCB - Keeping More Strange Company

Even as the USCCB is schmoozing it up with proponents of the gay lifestyle, women's ordination and abortion, yet another dubious association of the USCCB has come to light.  Deal Hudson writes "Why Did the USCCB Join This Civil Rights Organization?", found in the InsideCatholic blog.

The Leadership Council on Civil and Human Rights (LCCHR) is a coaltion of 200 member organizations that exists to lobby Congress on behalf of these members and their interests.  The USCCB is one of them.  To belong to this most august of bodies, an organization "must share LCCHR's principles and purposes".  In a nutshell, it works to ensure all "groups" regardless of race, etc sexual orientation "be accepted with regard for difference."  The organization must also pay annual dues (based on size), minimum $1,000.00 (think "your donation dollars").

Besides the USCCB, what other organizations exist under this umbrella?  Take a look!  I'll mention a few:

• American Civil Liberties Union
• AFL-CIO
• ACORN
• Center for Community Change
• Feminist Majority
• Human Rights Campaign
• Lambda Legal
• National Gay and Lesbian Task Force
• NOW
• Planned Parenthood
• Service Employees International Union (SEIU)

Get the picture?  Read Hudson's article for official LCCHR's official statements throughout the years as it has taken positions that are diametrically opposed to Catholic moral teachings.

Once upon a time I might have asked merely if the USCCB really should be associated with these culture-of-death organizations.  As more and more of these associations become unearthed, I can only opine that these are carefully deliberated by highly-placed personages within the USCCB and elsewhere.  Therefore I must now ask for the abolishment of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.  Let the bishops be bishops, as opposed to pawns of the culture of death.
