The CCHD is actually directly contrary to one of the foundational Catholic social teachings--subsidiarity. There are already diocesan Catholic Charities at that (diocesan) level and organizations like St. Vincent DePaul at the parochial level. They're doing great work. The CCHD needs to be disbanded.

CCHD does assume the CST of subsidiary. In fact, the projects CCHD is the embodiment of th the principle of subsidiary. CCHD funded organizations do not accept government funding. The boards of these organizations consist, as a requirement, the folks who are most impacted by the projects that are undertaken — poor folk!
It doesn't. We're funding an organization at the national level when there are those that do the same work at the local level. That's the principle of subsidiarity. The issue isn't whether they take government funding.
Respectfully, disagree (as a member of an advisory group for CCHD). Its true that local dioceses have an opportunity to fund certain local projects. Those they aren't go to a regional group that considers their request. The regional advisory groups consist of folks in that region and makes recommendations of whom to fund over and against other requests from the same region. I know it is done differently now, but to your point of subsidiary, all local funding requests must demonstrate their ability to raise funds within their own region. So, no, you are misinformed: the principle of subsidiary is alive and well within these group are requesting funds. All best, Cathy
