USCCB = RNC = GOP

In an effort to formalize its status as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the GOP, the USCCB has decided to end all funding of ACORN by the Catholic Campaign for Human Development.

It seems like there are, in fact, financial concerns about ACORN which should legitimately raise a concern about how well funding that goes to the organization is being used.

However, the Bishops didn't stop there. They bought in fully to the dishonest GOP political spin:

More recently, the Subcommittee also became concerned about widespread reports of ACORN involvement in alleged voter registration fraud and political partisanship. As a result of the cut-off earlier this year, no CCHD funds were involved in any of these activities. However, the allegations intensified our questions and problems around ACORN's organizational integrity, competence and non-partisanship. Therefore, we extended the cut off of CCHD funding of any ACORN organizations.

These concerns about "political partisanship" are coming from the organization whose members told Catholics that they'd go to Hell if they voted for Barack Obama.

Shall we judge the Bishops as they judge? If so, can we continue our weekly offerings?
