To say the least this post by Deal Hudson and the article he links is disturbing. Let me make it clear I am not advocating that people in the pews quit donating to Campaign for Human Development . But questions need to be asked to our Bishops that as the article alludes too might have no clue where all this money is being spent.
GO see How Catholic Money Funded Obama's Community Organizing .
I thought this was a interesting point:
In this sense, the nomination of Barak Obama has been a great blessing. Even the politically naïve are fascinated by the pejorative dismissal of Obama as a "community organizer" and his campaign's rebuttal that to disrespect community organizers is to disrespect Catholic Action. Obama isn't Catholic. Catholic thought hasn't subtly filtered into this ecumenical movement. Amoral Alinskyian thought, on the other hand, has clearly filtered into Catholic circles - to such a degree that some people confuse one for the other.
Obama's nomination is a window of opportunity to explain - starting with the bishops - the difference between Alinskyian principles and Catholic Action. They and other Catholics should find materials about Obama's Alinskyian roots quite interesting. We need to be sharing those materials.
