It's nice to join coalitions.
Except when the coalition argues against what are your non-negotiable beliefs.
For example, The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights (LCCHR), founded in 1950, lobbies the Congress and White House on behalf of its 200 coalition members, which includes the USCCB.
USCCB paid at least $1,000/year in dues.
There is nothing ambiguous about LCCHR's lobbying activity on behalf of abortion, same-sex marriage, and "family planning." All the items on the LCCHR Web site listed here affirm their support of "marriage equality" and opposition to bans on same-sex marriage -- policy positions directly opposed to the teaching of the Catholic Church.
Wonderful.
It's about time to simply disband USCCB and sell the building.
*Sigh*
