From The Catholic Key: Is Catholics In Alliance Kaput?
This blog has had at least a dozen posts on the background and doings of Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good over the last couple years, but this may be the last (let’s hope). It appears they are out of business. Let’s consider the evidence:
They’ve had no blog posts since June 10.
They’ve made no tweets since May 12.
They haven’t posted to their own facebook page since May 12.
Their calendar page is blank.
Their staff bio page is blank.
Their media guy, John Gehring, is now working for Faith in Public Life.
But why rely on circumstantial evidence? I decided to just give them a call. The phone number has been disconnected.
I’ve long asserted that CACG was a campaign organization and not a non-partisan advocate of Catholic Social Teaching as many news outfits have gullibly or willfully maintained. With the president elected and health care passed, it looks, for now, like the campaign is over.
Good - one less Catholyc group to confuse issues and lead folks astray. Dissenters never really go away, though. I predict that this group will reconstitute itself in one form or another just as the '12 presidential election season starts up.
