It often seems that Catholic Charities is infected by the same problems that CCHD has. \u00a0The national leadership and individual chapters are often run and staffed by people with a very narrow view of Catholic Social Teaching and not that infrequent with those who defy Catholic teaching. \u00a0For example before Catholic Charities in Boston stopped doing adoptions because of the state law forcing homosexual adoptions, they had already been doing them somewhat covertly. The same pretty much occurred with Catholic Charities in San Francisco.\u00a0Or you have the case of Catholic Charities of Richmond (CCR) for their involvement in procuring an illegal abortion for a 16-year-old Guatemalan girl in their care.\u00a0\u00a0It is hard to remember a statement from Catholic Charities that has made me cheer because of a strong defense of Catholic teaching. \u00a0 This does not deny the good work that Catholic Charities does do, but that does not erase the evil that sometimes occurs.<\/p>\n
The latest bonehead decision of the national organization is to give\u00a0the Centennial Medal<\/a> to the Catholic Health Association. \u00a0Yes the same group who defied the bishops and decided pushed for ObamaCare. \u00a0Because I guess leading the way for public funding of abortion is oh so compassionate.<\/p>\n A passionate voice for compassionate\u00a0care,\u00a0the Catholic Health Association stands with the poor and disenfranchised and advocates for services and solutions that reflect dignity and respect for all people. CHA is the largest group of non-profit health care providers in the nation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Yes an advocate for the poor and disenfranchised unless their current domicile is the womb.<\/p>\n
