Most people involved in pro-life activities have long understood that monies raised by this campaign go to fund activities which are less than pro-life, to say the least. This program should be done away with. Money raised by our bishops should go directly to the poor, and to pro-life organizations. The Catholic Church should not give funds to outside organizations whose polices run counter to the teaching of the Church. The Catholic Church as for centuries done a very good job on its own of helping those in need, without having the funds they raise funneled through outside, secular, and oftentimes radical groups.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7708139263643046536.post-51716997659698349912010-08-27T17:07:23.391-04:002010-08-27T17:07:23.391-04:00You may make a contribution by mail or telephone a...You may make a contribution by mail or telephone and specify that 100% of your contribution go towards “Chicago CCHD Local Grants” and designate which of the following categories you would like your tax-deductible donation to support:<br /><br />Access to Justice: enabling low-income persons and communities to have access to justice to legally protect their human and statutory rights; <br /><br />Community and Economic Development: community organizing efforts, economic development, job development and employment training; <br /><br />Human Development: programs that build up human dignity in individuals and social capital in disadvantaged communities, especially through education, thereby attacking root causes of poverty; <br /><br />Life and Family Initiatives: projects and programs that defend human dignity, life and authentic human communities. <br /><br />http://www.archchicago.org/cchd/contribution.htmAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7708139263643046536.post-75861746321836020412010-08-27T14:02:52.753-04:002010-08-27T14:02:52.753-04:00Our Bishops have allowed monies to go to organizat...Our Bishops have allowed monies to go to organizations that are political through CCHD since it's inception. I have not supported CCHD for years. And I don't plan on ever supporting CCHD because these groups support agendas that go directly AGAINST Church teaching. <br /><br />I would recommend everyone stop supporting CCHD.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7708139263643046536.post-31797217199811390352010-08-26T17:27:38.299-04:002010-08-26T17:27:38.299-04:00I don't know what is worth saving in the CCHD....I don't know what is worth saving in the CCHD. I'm all for giving money to the poor, but trying to do so by funding politically focused groups, or groups with a political nature seems like a very very bad practice prone to failure.JohnnyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01984155585049249414noreply@blogger.com
