A MESSAGE FROM OUR U.S. CATHOLIC BISHOPS:



PLEASE SUPPORT THE CATHOLIC CAMPAIGN FOR HUMAN DEVELOPMENT

The economic crisis in the United States has left many Americans without security: the security of having a job, the security of having health care, or the security of having a sufficient retirement fund. For the nearly 40 million Americans who have been living in poverty, these kinds of security have always been out of reach, and the current crisis has amplified their struggles. For nearly 40 years, the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD) has helped the poor fight for fair wages, affordable housing, and access to health care. Now more than ever, CCHD needs our support to help lift people up and out of poverty. Families are struggling. Our faith is calling. Join the numbers who care. Please be generous in this year’s Collection.

CCHD has funded organizations via grants that either support or promote teachings contrary to the Catholic Church: homosexual marriage, abortion, prostitution, contraception. Before CCHD gets a dime of my money they will have to show that NONE of these groups are being given grants. I know that the eliminated funding from a few groups but they have a long way to go.

My money and direct support will be going to the local soup kitchen instead.

Bishop Morin said he believes much of the criticism of CCHD comes from people who “simply are not in favor of the church’s social teaching.”
