Catholic Campaign for Human Development back in the news

This time it looks even worse.  If you will recall back in November there was unearthed some rather unpleasant  findings(which I posted about here) that the USCCB sub committee the now infamous CCHD had been funding groups that promoted abortion and sodomy. 

Now Catholics are asking how it is possible that an executive like John Carr could possibly be employed by the USCCB.  From LifeSite
Top USCCB executive John Carr held simultaneous leadership roles, creating a conflict of interest, with the USCCB and the radical Center for Community Change.
Center for Community Change push abortion & sodomy like far to many of the CCHD funded groups, so much so that CCHD has become a tainted moniker.
John Carr's relationship with the Center for Community Change goes back at least to 1983, serving in leadership roles from 1999 to 2006 - including as chairman of the board
Read the brief on LifeSite or check out Reform CCHD Now which partners with solid groups like American Life League, Human Life International and Bellarmine Veritas Ministry.

The big question is "Who knew?"  If the bishops aren't calling the shot, then who is?  Praise God that these horrible abuses are being brought to light that they may be corrected.

The last time abuses came to light within the USCCB, let us call to mind these comments:

The chairman of the U.S. bishops’ subcommittee which oversees the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD) has defended the program against what he called “outrageous” allegations and claims. He reiterated that the campaign is pro-life and has “zero tolerance” for funding any group that violates Catholic teaching.

Bishop of Biloxi, Mississippi Roger Morin on Tuesday addressed the fall assembly of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) on the topic of the CCHD.
