I have only so much money, and that will go to charities that I am certain are unquestionably Catholic. CCHD is not one of those. Another November CCHD collection to which I did not contribute.

It grants only to those organizations that have the "involuntary poor" on their boards of directors. This defies common sense. If the poor understood the "root causes" of poverty and knew the remedies for them, then (Hello) they wouldn't be poor, would they. The poor in this country have largely been conditioned to believe that the solution to poverty is government handouts. Therefore, the action to take to end poverty would be to register the poor to vote for those politicians who will give the most government(taxpayer) funds to the poor. Hence you have ACORN who's main work was voter registration as a recipient of CCHD funds. Also, I would like to say that it is very devious how the Bishops go about getting this money. They should make it clear that the money will not be used by the Church directly but given to secular groups to do the work they cannor or will not do. If the Bishops want the faithful to give to these groups, they should issue pastoral guidelins saying so, not collect money under false pretenses then redistribute the moeny to these groups. The Bishops should put out their list of recommended charities, then let us decide which onnes we wnt to donate to. The problems with the CCHD can be found right in its granting process.
