I just watched the "CIA" episode for the second time. If you watched it at least once, you'll notice that one of the prominent recipients of CCHD money was an outfit called the Midwest Academy, started by Helen Booth. This "academy" is an unabashed school for leftist radicals. Her husband, Paul Booth, was a speaker at the USCCB "Social Ministry" meeting that I had hoped would have been snowed out.
Now let's jump back a few months, to events particularly relevant to Montgomery County and Baltimore City (and in increasing numbers of localities throughout the US). As we are all too painfully aware, the pro-life pregnancy centers are under attack by NARAL, as NARAL tries to label them as buffoons. I stand by my analogy of likening NARAL to the Nazis forcing stars upon the Jews, by the way.
If you recall some of the testimony that I posted on this blog, you'll hear one of the pregnancy center directors state that NARAL's plan is right out of a publication called "Choice Action Kit - Unmasking Fake Clinics - A Step by Step Guide". All the strategy used by NARAL is spelled out in this 60+ page booklet. I have a copy.
In the front of this booklet, NARAL publishes some acknowledgements of gratitude. Among those to whom NARAL expressed gratitude is - the Midwest Academy! Now think for a moment! This "academy" received CCHD money, meaning that Catholic dollars were channelled to a pro-abortion organization for the express purpose of facilitating baby murder! "But that's in the past!", I hear the CCHD apologists whine. No, it's not in the past, when the founder's husband addressed a "catholyc" convocation just one month ago! Who are we kidding here?
Take a look at their website. Now ask, "why are they addressing Catholics, and what business do they have receiving CCHD money?"

ReplyDeleteWithin 24 hours of the release of Reform CCHD Now's report on the CCHD's Stations of the Cross (http://www.reformcchdnow.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=18&Itemid=18), it has been scrubbed from the website without explanation.
Check it out! Here's a cached version of the CCHD website, showing the links to the CCHD Stations of the Cross:

And here's what the website looks like now: www.usccb.org/cchd
Just look under the section titled "Lent", and you'll see the discrepancy.
The first step to admitting guilt is to attempt a cover-up.
Mike, thanks for the "heads-up". The document is a pdf that I had open on my machine. When I saw your message, I saved it to my machine. I will soon make it available once again for viewing and critiquing. You're right, it was absolutely cowardly and disingenuous of them to try to take it down surreptitiously. Because you were alert, they failed.
