NCIWR requires all members to sign an agreement supporting, among other things, &quot;Reproductive health care coverage financed through public funds provided to all immigrant women regardless of legal and economic status,&quot; as well as &quot;equitable access to confidential and non-coercive family planning services and contraceptive equity.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Sean Thomas-Brietfield, Director of CCC&#8217;s Taproots Project, wrote an article promoting consensual &quot;polyamory,&quot; or &quot;relationships where there is no expectation of fidelity.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>CCC developed leaders for same-sex marriage advocacy and homosexual activists through its Generation Change program. In 2008, CCC received a $50,000 grant for leadership training from one of the chief funders of LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered) causes, the Gill Foundation.<\/p>\n<p>Ralph McCloud, the current Director of the CCHD, participated in a December 2008 event cosponsored by CCC and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gamaliel.org\/default.htm\">Gamaliel Foundation<\/a> &quot;Realizing the Promise Forum,&quot; celebrating the election of Barack Obama. McCloud is reported to have proclaimed, &quot;Very soon we will see a New Jerusalem.&quot; The conference <a href=\"http:\/\/www.c-spanvideo.org\/program\/282685-1\">video<\/a> suggests the CCC is engaged in &quot;partisan political activity&quot; in violation of the CCHD grant guidelines.<\/p>\n<p>This is the second round of incriminating evidence presented by ALL and BVM about the CCC. Three months ago, they issued a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.all.org\/article.php?id=12362\">press release<\/a> and supporting  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.all.org\/article.php?id=12307\">research<\/a>regarding 31 CCHD grantees with a relationship to CCC &#8212; all of which was ignored by the USCCB.<\/p>\n<p>As ALL&#8217;s Michael Hichborn points out, these reports have &quot;revealed no less than fifty organizations (one fifth of all CCHD grantees from 2009) that are, in some capacity, engaged in pro-abortion or pro-homosexual causes (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.all.org\/cchd\">www.all.org\/cchd<\/a>). The sad thing, however, is that these recent revelations manifest a pattern of cooperation stretching back for decades.&quot; <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"blog\">John Carr&#8217;s excuse about what is going on at CCC sound more and more like &#8220;I am shocked that gambling is going on here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"blog\">In a related story Bishop Hubbard of Albany and head of the Office of International Justice and Peace at the USCCB has authorized Catholic Charities in his diocese to distribute needles to drug users.  When I first saw the story this weekend the excuse reminded me of the condom argument &#8211; they are going to do it anyway so let us make it safe.  No word yet if Catholic Charities will be issuing cars with large bumpers to protect drunk drivers.  I can&#8217;t see how this is allowable considering Catholic moral teaching and Canonist Ed Peters is of the same opinion and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.canonlaw.info\/2010\/02\/arguments-against-bp-hubbards.html\">has a good post on the subject.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"blog\">In other crappy news.  Raymond Arroyo on EWTN&#8217;s The World Over <a href=\"http:\/\/coalitionforclarity.blogspot.com\/2010\/02\/scandal-ewtn-and-pro-torture-interview.html\">had torture apologist Marc Thiessen on<\/a> to explain why torture is not torture.  I was tortured by his logic when I first heard the program.  I had wondered why Raymond Arroyo hadn&#8217;t corrected and taught his friend Laura Ingraham about the Catholic teaching on torture &#8211; now I know &#8211; he doesn&#8217;t seem to know it either.  Defining waterboarding as not torture is just like saying the fetus is not a human person.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More details on the CCHD scandal from Deal Hudson.
