Catholic dollars funding left-wing politics

CCHD is an annual collection

“help the poor”.

However, over a third of the money collected by the

CCHD goes to

Alinskyian organizing networks.

DART

PICO

Association of Community

Organizations for Reform Now

The names and acronyms are

dizzying.

“Alinskyian” organizing networks operate using the theories of Saul Alinsky.

 

Alinsky wrote two books about organizing:

Rules for Radicals

and

Reveille for Radicals

Alinsky teachesthat in politics, the ends justify the

means…

…and he teaches the Marxist concept of class warfare.

 "Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder

acknowledgment to the very first radical; from all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to

know where mythology leaves off and history begins - or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and

did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom - Lucifer."

- Saul Alinsky, dedication of Rules for Radicals

All the Alinskyian networks have fiercely left-wing political perspectives.

That means they network with those who support abortion and homosexual “rights”.

All the Alinskyian networks spread the ideas of liberation theology - putting Christian labels on left-wing political ideas.

Alinskyian networks send the community organizer into a neighborhood with a predetermined agenda.

Every local community organization in an Alinskyian network promotes the same programs – the same solutions – as every other.

This isn’t “people power”. It’s the organizer’s power, taken from “the people.”

Most Alinskyian community organizations have member

churches.

They get money from Catholics through CCHD grants and…

…they collect dues from their members – many Catholic parishes.

Alinskyian organizers frequently run meetings in churches.

Organizing churches makes it seem that the political agenda

of the Alinskyians is

Church teaching. San Francisco IAF “leader”

Presidential nominee Barak Obama’s primary work experience was as an Alinskyian community organizer.  

While lead organizer in Chicago for the Developing Communities Project, CCHD gave it:

* $40,000 in 1985, and * $33,000 in 1986.

Top Alinskyian organizers trained Obama.

One mentor was the lead organizer for Gamaliel, which receives 4-5% of all CCHD grants.

Another Obama mentor, Jerry Kellman, was trained by the IAF - founded by Saul Alinsky.

The IAF receives about 16% of all CCHD grants annually.

After law school, Obama returned to Chicago and taught Alinskyian organizing to ACORN staff.

Obama ran ACORN’s 1992 voter-registration drive, Project Vote, and ACORN endorsed Obama’s bid for the Illinois State Senate .

ACORN has an alarming record of voter fraud (see www.rottenacorn.com for a list].

ACORN annually receives about 5% of CCHD grants.

Alinskyian organizing networks receive over a third of all Campaign grants — every year.

 

CCHD grants to the major Alinskyian networks

These networks are political.

They work closely with politicians – such as Barak Obama – and with political organizations that are fighting for abortion and homosexual “rights.”

The Alisnkyian networks seek an extreme leftist reorganization of the US.

Despite good intentions, the hard lesson of history is that this economic restructuring doesn’t help the poor.

Soviet gulag

Catholics, who ought to be a powerful, consistent voice for moral values in society, are fragmented and ineffective, speaking with many, contradictory voices.

The CCHD bears much of the responsibility for this problem.

The Catholic Campaign for Human Development …

…has poured millions into Alinskyian organizing.

…and has been funding left-wing – pro-abortion, pro-homosexual – politics with Catholic donations for forty years.

Isn’t it time to stop?
