Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD): Should you give to the 2nd collection this Sunday?

Ok... I don't have a lot of info yet on this... but I wanted to at least get something out there. Last year, CCHD had some issues which mostly revolved around the fact that they funded ACORN.

This year the appeal has gone out again, with priests everywhere urging parishoners to contribute and feel "safe" about doing so because ACORN is no longer on the contribution list. Before you do so though, I suggest you research the matter a little more.
Normally I would NEVER suggest going against the teachings of a priest - but there may be enough information out there for you to make up your own mind. On top of that, I always suggest RESEARCHING the organizations you donate to; blindly funding "feeder" organizations is a great way to support things you never intended.

I haven't figured out what I am going to do... but I sure am going to research more. You can ALWAYS give money... but once you give, you can't take it back.
