THE CATHOLIC KNIGHT: The folks at the Vatican have heard about U.S. Catholic Charity being used to donate money to ACORN, and they're not happy about it.

The uproar over ACORN is a classic example of throwing the baby out with the bath water. ACORN does a lot of good. Meanwhile, as the church abdicates the bulk of its responsibilities to humanity in the name of abortion as a singular issue, the poor are getting poorer and rich richer. What would Jesus have to say about that?
As a Catholic, I am saddened every time some bishop speaks out that he plans to withhold Communion from a politician that refuses to legislate -- even though he may be personally pro-life -- the Church's stance on abortion. I don't hear an outcry over the refusal to outlaw divorce or the death penalty. Why is that?
