Eighth Installment of USCCB Expose - A Bishop Weighs In

First let me do a little follow up on the seventh installment, where the USCCB's participation in the LCCHR's fund-raising dinners are discussed.  A little digging around their website revealed even more disgusting detail.   These fundraisers are called "Hubert H. Humphrey Civil Rights Award Dinners".  Indeed, the USCCB did participate in the 2007 dinner.  As the word "award" implies, awards are bestowed upon selected individuals at this dinner (quite a common practice across the board).  Are you breathlessly wondering just who was deemed worthy of such honor in 2007?  Well, feast your eyes!  Bill Clinton was one of the three honorees at that dinner, the dinner that the USCCB helped put together.  We know that at that time, Bill Clinton was the most pro-abortion president (the Messiah Most Miserable has since usurped that title from him).

Let's look at other dinners and other honorees.  We see Tom Daschle, Connie Morella, John Conyers, John Sweeney, Tipper Gore, Ralph Neas.  None of these folks, due to their public pro-abortion stances are fit to receive any acolade from any Catholic organization.  Yet the USCCB, as part of the LCCHR, has bestowed such honors upon them.  Why?

At least one bishop is publicly asking this, and similar questions.  When interviewed by Lifesite News, Bishop Robert Vasa of Baker, Oregon had this to say about the USCCB/LCCHR relationship: “I am not well enough versed in the 'politics' of such associations to make any criticism of the motives or justifications which might be provided but, on the face of it, I would have to agree that support of this organization and an active endorsement of its principles and purposes would appear to be problematic.”

Below is another segment from Real Catholic TV.  Discussed therein is the "Catholic Social Ministry" gab-fest that ended today (hopefully with paltry attendance).  Michael Voris examines the questionable organizations that were allowed to be exhibiters at this affair.  He also suggests that folks sign a petition to reform the USCCB, courtesy of the Reform CCHD Now Coalition.  I'd have to go a step further and call for its total abolishment, as I truly think the USCCB is too far gone to be salvaged.
