Subject: What took you so long?: Catholics Petition US Bishops to Halt Abortion, LGBT Activist Funding Thu Nov 14, 2019 5:23 am
Appeal warns that CCHD leadership 'has no moral compass'
WASHINGTON (ChurchMilitant.com) - Catholic research and education apostolate the Lepanto Institute is partnering with LifeSiteNews to demand the U.S. bishops withdraw funding from pro-abortion, pro-homosexual activist groups. On Tuesday, Lepanto Institute founder and president Michael Hichborn published a report showing that the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD), a controversial anti-poverty arm of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), continues to fund groups that oppose Catholic teaching. Commenting to Church Militant on his findings, Hichborn asked: "How many times does the CCHD have to be caught funding organizations that are directly promoting abortion, contraception, homosexuality and Marxism before the bishops stop believing their promises that they never do such things?" "These bishops are almost like battered girlfriends who constantly make excuses for abusive men who promise they won't beat them anymore," he added. "It's pathetic."
