In early autumn of 2010, it appeared that the Chicago CCHD, under the leadership of Rey Flores, was instituting much-needed reform. In cutting funding to progressive groups and extending funding to pro-life organizations, it was beginning to live up to the "Catholic" in its name. However, such reforms were short-lived. In November, a campaign spearheaded by Fr Larry Dowling both got Flores fired from his position and resumed the progressive slant of its funding - resulting in the defunding of the pro-life organizations.
Father Dowling has again garnered the spotlight. He is board chair of the Illinois Center for Violence Prevention. Lifesite News details that organization's ties to Planned Parenthood - the largest perpetrator of violence to defenseless babies. Strange - last autumn he succeeded in stripping Catholic dollars from pro-life organizations that would have saved hundreds of babies in favor of progressive organizations. Now we learn that he has struck hands with Planned Parenthood? That's violence promotion, not prevention.
