The occasional, often ill-considered thoughts of a Roman Catholic permanent deacon who is ever grateful to God for his existence. Despite the strangeness we encounter in this life, all the suffering we witness and endure, being is good, so good I am sometimes unable to contain my joy. Deo gratias!


Although I am an ordained deacon of the Catholic Church, the opinions expressed in this blog are my personal opinions. In offering these personal opinions I am not acting as a representative of the Church or any Church organization.

Catholic Campaign for Human Development

Once again the Catholic Campaign for Human Development is under fire for its relationships with and support for organizations that work against the teachings of the Catholic Church on such issues as abortion and same sex marriage. This seems to come up every few years, indicating to me that the CCHD just can't help itself. As the domestic anti-poverty, social justice program of the U.S. Catholic bishops, CCHD tends to align itself with community organizing and other activist groups (e.g., ACORN), and many of these same groups also fall on the wrong side of most life issues. A coalition of pro-life organizations has asked the US Bishops to reform the CCHD requiring that it align itself only with those groups that support Catholic teaching.
