American Life League chastises Catholic Charities USA for affiliation
by Brian Roewe | Aug. 9, 2013
A pro-life group has charged the United States' largest Catholic charitable organization with "promoting homosexual activism and birth control" through its affiliation with a national network aimed at promoting youth success and curbing school dropout rates.
In a video report published July 29 on its YouTube page, the American Life League accuses Catholic Charities USA "of playing the devil's game of compromise" because its president, Fr. Larry Snyder, sits on the board of trustees of the America's Promise Alliance, a network formed out of a 1997 summit of U.S. presidents to promote childhood success.
The report pinpoints Snyder's role since at least 2010 as a judge in the alliance's "100 Best Communities for Young People" competition. According to the alliance's website, the competition "rewards and recognizes communities making extraordinary efforts to reduce dropout rates and provide outstanding services and supports their youth."
The American Life League, however, saw other criteria common among winners.

Isaiah 29:13
The Lord said:
Because these people draw near with their mouths
and honor me with their lips,
while their hearts are far from me,
and their worship of me is a human commandment learned by rote
