Just to add to GorT’s post, let me note that GorT is, in his almost infinite charity, being too kind to CHD when he says, “Clearly, the CCHD and other organizations like it are doing good work that the government is too ineffective in doing.”

As Fr. R.J. Neuhaus notes, “What most Catholics don’t know, and what would likely astonish them, is that CHD very explicitly does not fund Catholic institutions and apostolates that work with the poor.” Also, Fr. Neuhaus notes that the CHD dropped the “Catholic” from its name a long time ago as a result. Read the whole thing for the typically idiotic 1960s background of the [ex-C]CHD. (Search for “Which brings me” for the beginning of the discussion of CHD if the other episcopal politics bore you.)

Kill it, your Eminences. Good riddance.
