Transcript CCHD Power-Point Presentation

The Catholic Campaign
for Human Development
[CCHD]
Catholic dollars funding
left-wing politics
for over forty years
CCHD is an
annual collection
that receives
donations based on
its promise to
“help the poor”.
However, over a
third of the money
collected by the
CCHD
goes to
Alinskyian
organizing
networks.
PICO
IAF
The names and
acronyms are
dizzying.
Industrial Areas
Foundation
Association of Community
Organizations for Reform Now

“Alinskyian” organizing networks operate
using the theories of Saul Alinsky.
Alinsky wrote two
books about
organizing:
Rules for Radicals
and
Reveille for
Radicals
Alinsky teaches
that in politics,
the ends justify the
means…
…and he teaches the
Marxist concept of class
warfare.
Alinsky dedicates Rules for
Radicals to Satan
"Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder
acknowledgment to the very first radical; from all
our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to
know where mythology leaves off and history begins
- or which is which), the first radical known to man
who rebelled against the establishment and did it so
effectively that he at least won his own kingdom Lucifer."
- Saul Alinsky, dedication of Rules for Radicals
Blessed Father Miguel Pro, Martyr
All the Alinskyian
networks have fiercely
left-wing political
perspectives.
That means they network
with those who support
abortion and
homosexual “rights”.
All the Alinskyian
networks spread
the ideas of
liberation theology
- putting Christian
labels on left-wing
political ideas.
Alinskyian networks send the
community organizer into
a neighborhood with a
predetermined agenda.

founder of ACORN
Every local community
organization in an
Alinskyian network
promotes the same
programs – the same
solutions – as every other.
Gregory Galluzzo, ex-priest,
head of the Gamaliel network
This isn’t “people power”.
It’s the organizer’s power,
taken from “the people.”
Fr. John Baumann, SJ –
head of the PICO network
Most Alinskyian community
organizations have member
churches.
They get money from
Catholics through
CCHD grants and…
…they collect dues
from their members
– many Catholic
parishes.
Alinskyian organizers frequently run
meetings in churches.
Organizing
churches makes
it seem that the
political agenda
of the
Alinskyians is
Church teaching.
San Francisco IAF “leader”
Presidential nominee Barak Obama’s
primary work experience was as an
Alinskyian community organizer.
While lead organizer in
Chicago for the
Developing
Communities Project,
CCHD gave it:
* $40,000 in 1985, and
* $33,000 in 1986.
Top Alinskyian
organizers trained
Obama.
One mentor was the
lead organizer for
Gamaliel, which
receives 4-5% of all
CCHD grants.
Gregory Galluzzo, ex-priest,
head of the Gamaliel network
Another Obama
mentor, Jerry
Kellman, was
trained by the IAF founded by Saul
Alinsky.
The IAF receives about
16% of all CCHD
grants annually.

After law school, Obama returned to
Chicago and taught Alinskyian
organizing to ACORN staff.
Obama ran ACORN’s 1992 voterregistration drive, Project Vote,
and ACORN endorsed Obama’s
bid for the Illinois State Senate .
ACORN has an alarming record of
voter fraud (see www.rottenacorn.com
for a list].
ACORN annually receives about 5%
of CCHD grants.
Alinskyian organizing networks receive over
a third of all Campaign grants — every year.
These networks are
political.
They work closely with
politicians – such as
Barak Obama – and
with political
organizations that are
fighting for abortion
and homosexual
“rights.”
CCHD grants to the major Alinskyian networks
The Alisnkyian networks
seek an extreme leftist
reorganization of the
US.
Despite good intentions,
the hard lesson of
history is that this
economic restructuring
doesn’t help the poor.

Catholics, who ought to be
a powerful, consistent
voice for moral values in
society, are fragmented
and ineffective, speaking
with many, contradictory
voices.
The CCHD bears much of
the responsibility for this
problem.
The Catholic Campaign for
Human Development …
…has poured millions
into Alinskyian
organizing.
…and has been
funding left-wing –
pro-abortion, prohomosexual –
politics with
Catholic donations
for forty years.
Isn’t it time to stop?
