Wolves, Sheep and Fr. Bryan Hehir

Frank Marion's blog has quickly becoming one of my favorite reads.  

Here's his latest:

Wolves, Sheep and Bryan Hehir.

The characters throwing money around in this archdiocese seem to have complete control - Jack Connors, John Kaneb, Finneran, Karam - etc.


Truly disturbing.


What the heck is going on with Caritas officials giving thousands upon thousands of dollars worth of cash to Martha Coakley???  


This is just part of Frank's excellent resource:
There’s more.  Chair of the Caritas Board, James Karam, quoted in Thursday’s Globe article, contributed more than $19,000 among the campaigns of President Barrack Obama; Hillary Clinton; US Sen. John Kerry; Gov. Deval Patrick; Congresmen Barney Frank, and others.  In total, 5 Caritas Board members have given $58,000 to pro-abortion political candidates.  (Thanks to  Catholic Action League for their research).

By the way, it was Finnegan, Karam and John Kaneb, who picked the President of Caritas Christi, Dr. Ralph de la Torre.  Mr. Kaneb is vice chair of the Archdiocesan Finance Council and came out in support of Notre Dame’s decision to honor pro-abortion President Obama at their 2009 commencement, referring to  Notre Dame as, “a beacon of adherence to its Catholic character.”   (Not!)  Turns out that it was Jack Connors who introduced Dr. de la Torre to the archdiocese search committee, so it all comes full circle.

But wait, there’s one more thing.  Today we learn that de la Torre, his wife and Caritas colleagues gave more than $34,000 to the pro-abortion U.S. Senate candidate, Martha Coakley.  Caritas president even hosted Coakely at a fund-raiser at his Newton home.  For those who forgot, Coakley said on the campaign trail that devout Catholics “probably shouldn’t work in the emergency room.”

The stink of bribe is all over this thing.

Do read the rest of Marion's fascinating post.
