USCCB Names New Director of Home Missions - Who Contributed To Pro-Abort Pols

The USCCB announced that Mary Mencarini Campbell has been named director for Catholic Home Missions and associate director of the Office of National Collections.   See http://www.catholicculture.org/news/headlines/index.cfm?storyid=12802&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+CatholicWorldNewsFeatureStories+%28Catholic+World+News+%28on+CatholicCulture.org%29%29

In 2004, she made a contribution to an outfit called America Coming Together.  At the time, ACT shared a director, Ellen Malcolm, with Emily's List.  The wikipedia article on ACT is quite illuminating.  George Soros contributed much of the funding, as did labor unions such as SEIU.  Of course it was a get-out-the-vote organization, mostly interested in "get-out-the-progressive-vote".  It closed down in 2005, but not before the FEC slapped its wrists for financing violations to the tune of $775,000.  Take a peek at Emily's List.  I have to hand it to them - they are up front about their goal: to "elect pro-choice democratic women".

While Campbell's contribution was rather small, it was still a contribution to outfits with the stated goals of electing pro-abortion candidates to office.  So why does the USCCB see fit to assign this woman to positions of authority and responsibility within the USCCB?  Some might wonder about their vetting processes.  Frankly, I think they vetted her and she fits the progressive program that obviously governs the USCCB.  As you reviewed the Catholic Culture piece, you must have noticed that she occupied several positions within the CCHD itself (naturally she poo-poohed the investigation that the American Life League put together).

This is yet another example of why the entire USCCB should be dismantled and consigned to the ash heap of history.

More Shame From Notre Shame

Whew!  It's a good thing that Jenkins et al got rid of their ND88 boondoggle because they managed to put their feet in it again as this National Catholic Register article details.  They recently appointed to their Board of Trustees one Roxanne Martino, a ND alumna, a reputedly accomplished businesswoman and - oh, yes! - a big-time contributer to Emily's List.  Most people who are half awake understand Emily's List to be a cabal dedicated to the election of pro-abortion Democrat women to public office.  If you're just waking up, never fear - just look at the Emily List mission statement on their webpage; they have no bones about proclaiming their "purpose", such as it is.

When the news broke and went viral, the ND officials - including Fr Jenkins - tried to tell us that Martino, who is supposed to be a smart business person, had no idea that she contributed over $25k to an outfit whose sole, plainly-stated mission, is to get pro-abortion women elected.  But it's just a teensy-weensy little goof, right?   So much for "damage control"!

I'm now waiting for Georgetown University to pull off some stupendous stupidity.  Has anyone else noticed that Georgetown and Notre Dame seem to alternate with each other in providing grandeose insult to the Faith?  It's almost like a contest between the two!

The Guardians of the Grotto and the Cardinal Newman Society both helped to break this news.  Below is the Vortex take on the matter.  Click here if you cannot see embedded video.
