One of the key principles in Catholic social thought is subsidiarity, In other words, social needs should be met at the lowest level possible. The closer one is to the need being addressed the more effective the response is likely to be. The Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD) has violated the rule of subsidiarity since its inception supporting hundreds of groups that look to more federal regulation and subsidies to accomplish their goals. The good groups funded by CCHD are not sufficient to balance the many evil groups supported, groups working for socialism by electing liberal politicians. CCHD helped to give us the radical, left-wing Congress we have today, one that supports abortion, euthanasia, same-sex marriage, embryonic stem cell research, and other moral atrocities. Many liberal politicians have been elected over the years with the help of CCHD grantees. The only way to stop this insanity is to cut off the money. Boycott the CCHD.
Hey, I know that this has been one month since posting, but here's some bad news:
ReplyDeleteBishop Loverde actually thought about witholding funding from the CCHD (because he always has that yearly donation for CCHD Thanksgiving week), but he didn't according to the orthodox website Catholic Culture!
I even made an open letter to the Bishop! But God help him . . . I wonder what led him to get there.
