The Collection for the Campaign for Human Development: BOYCOTT IT!

But don't ignore it. Put "Alinsky bucks" in the basket to send the bishops and your pastor a message.

And you might also send the week's parish donation to another worthy Catholic charity as a protest for the parish taking up the collection.

#NoBucksintheBasket! #BoycottCCHD (Catholic Campaign for Human Development) this Weekend!

Hold on to your wallet this weekend when dioceses across the country use flimflam to try to convince you that giving to progressive community organizing groups that support intrinsic immorality will help the poor. Yes, that's exactly what the CCHD collection does and its roots are core deep in Marxism. Michael Hichborn describes the origins of CCHD in a great article at the Lepanto Institute:

The Marxist Core of the Catholic Campaign for Human Development

Hold on to your wallet: The CCHD Collection is Coming Up!

The Catholic Campaign for Human Development collection is coming up and, as usual, Catholics will be hoodwinked into giving thinking their money will directly help the poor. It doesn't. A significant portion goes to community organizing groups directly involved in promoting moral evils and electing "progressive" politicians.

In most dioceses the collection is taken up the weekend before Thanksgiving. Some dioceses are calling the collection something else and holding it at different times as a disguise. For example, my friend Janet sent this email about the DC Archdiocese's collection:

The only changes I’ve seen have been on the part of the progressive cartel to obfuscate the nature of the collection. For instance, in the DC archdiocese, the collection is now held in August and is called the “Communication and Human Development” Collection. Cute, huh?

Dishonest as all get out. It's called Picking Pockets in the Pew!

I made the video below back in 2008, but it's just as true today as it was then. For more on this year's collection see Catholic Citizens of Illinois.

CCHD Collection is Coming Up: BOYCOTT!

And pass the word on. Don't let your friends be the chumps in the pews fleeced to pour money into leftwing causes that undermine Church teaching! It's a sad truth but you just can't trust the bishops not to support moral evils with your money! They've been doing it for years through CCHD and nothing ever changes despite promise after promise to reform. Remember the old adage, "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me!

Conflict of Interest at Catholic Campaign for Human Development

CCHD Collection is This Weekend! Boycott!

Don't give to the CCHD (Catholic Campaign for Human Development) collection this weekend and tell your friends to boycott! Unless, of course, you want your donation "for the poor" to go to abortion, contraception, promotion of same-sex "marriage," porn-pushing, prostitution enabling, salaries of community organizers and the election of political Marxists. Yes, Virginia, CCHD is funding all those things and the promotion of illegal immigration to boot! Tell the folks living on the border dealing with the drug lords, murders of ranchers, destruction of property, etc. what a great thing illegal immigration is. Last year, Gamaliel affilitates received almost $800,000 in grants. This "faith-based" community organizing group is notorious for promoting the liberal agenda. This collection is helping to push the U.S. over the cliff. And we're still waiting for an apology for all the Catholic money poured into ACORN. Cardinal Dolan? Anyone? Anyone?
