the Catholic Campaign for Human Development, an antipoverty program run by the bishops' conference, decided that it had never ascertained could no longer be certain of ACORN's integrity or accountability.

Fixed it.

Hellooooho,We gave donations to our church to elect this jerk .WOW.

The US Conference of Catholic Bishops is permanently cutting off all funding for ACORN in the wake of an embezzlement scandal and allegations of voter registration fraud and political partisanship.

This is good that they cut off money to an organization that cheated and actively campaigned to to elect dems who promote abortion.

Well this is a good thing. Next time pay attention to what's going on in the nation, and use better scrutiny before donating money to community group organizations, even if they do claim to be bipartisan. For a bishop, you should be ashamed for not following Gods instruction to the letter.

"Hellooooho,We gave donations to our church to elect this jerk .WOW."

That's not what was intended. The church was just too trusting that ACORN was what it said it was, and actually did good work in the community, therefore they would get good bang for the buck. Church clergy have a bit too much faith and trust that there is some integrity left in society.

Giving donations to the church is all well and good, but the donation needed most is your TIME to put those donations to good use. But, because today's Christian doesn't have time for such things, they figure just showing up for an hour one Sunday a month and giving a few bucks will get them into Gods good books and into heaven.

Sometimes churches have to rely on other community organizations to do the work for them, live organize and run soup kitchens, shelters for street bums, distribute used clothing etc. through existing community organizations that already have facilities set up.

Why were they funding them in the first place?

This is the 13th. The election was on the 4th. And the Bishops think of this now? For crying out loud, what do they know now that they didn’t know prior to the election?

If groups would wise up and make their objections known, guys like Obama would actually be revealed to have solid opposition. Instead folks whisper and wait until after the election to grow a set of nads.

Just damn...

Good, this is a start.
