On March 4, Catholic Charities of San Francisco (CCCYO) will host its annual Loaves and Fishes Fundraising dinner at the upscale St. Regis hotel in San Francisco. As is the case every year, the honorary committee includes a number of local politicians. And, as usual these politicians are completely and without exception actively opposed to the Church’s teaching on issues of life or the family.
*
This year’s honorary committee includes some new faces. All are members of the Democratic Party. All hold positions on same-sex “marriage” and abortion, in contradiction to those of the Catholic Church -- two issues which Pope Benedict has called non-negotiable.

The presence of so many anti-Catholic and openly homosexual politicians on CCCYO’s honorary committee may be explained in part by the fact that in 2010 government and contract revenue amounted to over two-thirds of the organization’s operating revenue. But CCCYO has long ties to San Francisco’s homosexual power structure.
*
At least four of the 32 members of CCCYO’s Board of Directors -- a wildly out of proportion number -- are members of San Francisco’s ‘gay-friendly’ Most Holy Redeemer Church. That number is far higher than from any other parish in the archdiocese.

If as much angst were directed to removing predator priests from the clergy rosters - say in Philadelphia where a grand jury report suggests at least 37 known predators were in parishes with access to children and youths - the world might be a better place. Instead, normal socially contributing gay citizens and their allies are under attack.
