Cui bono?

The Anchoress has a theory that possibly explains for the Obama administration's decision to force Catholic institutions to provide insurance coverage for artificial contraception to their employees:  Obama, Alinsky and the Bishops.  Follow the money.  Worth a read.

  1. I have no time for the bloggers at Patheos, including Elizabeth Scalia. They've become legends in their own minds.

    She hasn't missed a chance to rip into Michael Voris who has done the research (watch his CIA investigation on Real Catholic TV - it's about an hour long) and has laid out all the verifiable facts about Alinsky and the Church.

    And she's just now figuring out where the CHD money is going? Please. They may have dumped Acorn, but 90% of the money is still going to community organizing groups - some of which I don't think even really exist. I've spent hours doing the research. Either they know where the money is going or they are too stupid to bother to check where the money is going. Either way, it's boo on them.

    Very little of what Voris has documented is unknown to us older Catholics. It's one of the reasons Spellman hated Fulton Sheen. Sheen was very anti-communist and Spellman was very politically left.

    We have some newer upcoming bishops that are trying to do a good job. Unfortunately, the preponderance are still lefties. Most jumped into the pig sty and now are complaining because they're covered in mud.

  2. Well, I think you are right about the bishops and many of the church's professional class -- workers & commentators. They just had their heads in the sand for the last fifty years, unwilling to look to see where the money was going. The CCHD is a scandal of the first order, one that they haven't wanted to address because they were inclined to believe in most of the causes that the "community organizers" were behind. Now all of that is coming back to bite the bishops and their allies big time.
