Criticism
CCHD has come under fire from critics within the Church, alleging that the organization was promoting abortion, contraception and radical politics by funding the Industrial Areas Foundation, and the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, and that the CCHD was a force of internal corruption within the USCCB. CCHD has responded in 2008 that all projects are consistent with Catholic doctrine, all grant proposals are reviewed by a committee of bishops and approved by the local diocese before being funded, and funded projects are monitored during the life of the grant. Criticism continues in 2011.
