Wisconsin diocese withholding 2010 funds from CCHD [CNA]

[CNA_News]

Green Bay, Wis., Feb 25, 2010 / 06:15 pm (CNA).- The Diocese of Green Bay in Wisconsin has chosen to withhold its annual funding of the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD) until further information has been gathered on allegations that recently surfaced.

The CCHD, which is under the jurisdiction of the U.S. bishops, has recently come under fire for alleged connections with a network of community organizations that have promoted homosexual causes and abortion advocacy. In response to recent allegations the CCHD subcommittee has been investigating claims.

The Diocese of Green Bay’s newspaper The Compass reported on Wednesday that Bishop David Ricken has decided to send his diocese’s donations only to CRS and Peter’s Pence, citing his need for more time to assess CCHD’s situation locally and nationally.

Glad to hear that Catholic dollars will be going to a charity instead of a liberal political movement. Nothing against liberals, mind you, but the needs of charity far outweigh the needs of politically-oriented people’s egos.

Bishop Morlino, Dioc. of Madison, WI also did not send $$ to the CCHD.

CRS has problems too, though.

And there’s more happening in GB diocese:

Green Bay Catholic Diocese says politics aren’t factor in concern about interfaith groups

This is big news to those of who have been watching and praying over the infiltration of these Alinsky groups into our parishes and communities.
