Pope to CCUSA: No One Is Excluded | National Catholic Reporter

Pope to CCUSA: No One Is Excluded | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: One thing - he did not write this. It has all the hallmarks of staff writing (and the attendees know staff writing, they do it for their bishops when Charity is the issue). I suspect someone from Caritas International penned this - not to invalidate it, we are a big Church after all. If he did write it, the translation is way too bureaucratic, so no, this was some priest on Caritas staff. One thing, the majority of the Catholic Charities network gets its funds from the government. CCUSA is funded by dues from the member agencies (which are under the control of the local bishop - who almost always appoints the director), plus 10% of the proceeds from contributions through the United Way and Combined Federal Campaign (my wife used to make those allocations, which I helped program on occasion). There are also major donors who give and of course, conference attendees who like to hear a message from the Pope, even a clunky one.
