  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ national anti-poverty program has provided over three-quarters of a million dollars over the course of 20 years to an organization that advocates for sex-change surgeries, abortion and same-sex marriage, according to a report.

In its November report, the Lepanto Institute warned that the USCCB’s program, the Catholic Campaign for Human Development, has provided 16 grants totaling $760,000 to the United Workers Association since 2004.

UWA, which has advocated for sex-change surgeries and abortion to be covered through Medicare, also received a $25,000 grant for the 2024-2025 CCHD funding year, according to the Lepanto Institute’s report.

“Given what we are about to present, it is abundantly clear that UWA is solidly pro-LGBT — even to the point of advocating for publicly-funded sex-change surgeries — and it is currently operating through two proxy organizations of its own creation that are openly promoting abortion, birth control, funding for Planned Parenthood, and LGBT ideologies, including the public-funding of sex-change operations,” the report stated.

The Lepanto Institute has called for the "complete and permanent closure of the CCHD," citing the program's alleged "failure to protect Catholic funds and refusal to recognize and acknowledge gross violations of Catholic moral and social teaching."

I would ask if the Vatican would step in, but aren't they pro-gay and trans now too? I remember something about them deciding to allow gay Priests and such.
No the teaching of the Church have not changed concerning homosexuality. Although there are some within clergy trying to push the envelope in that regard.
