According to CNN the Catholic Church is ending its funding of ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now). According to the article--
"This week, as the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops met in Baltimore, Maryland, the campaign's chairman said it was cutting all ties with the group.
"We simply had too many questions and concerns to permit further CCHD funding of ACORN groups," Roger Morin, the auxiliary bishop of New Orleans, Louisiana, told his colleagues in a letter to the conference."
There were too many questions of voter fraud and other financial irregularities. The Church acknowledged the need for voter registration in poorer communities, but stated that it could not support ACORN until it is clear that they are not engaged in illegal activities or voter fraud.
