What kind of work does CCODP do?  I have never heard of this group.  Also, I like to hear of other Catholic Charities I can feel good about giving to.  Lately, because I don't agree with supporting the politics of Pro Life and I don't support continuing the permanent diaconate, especially at 65-70,000 a year per diocese, I don't feel comfortable giving to the actual Catholic Charities Appeal anymore.  I feel good about giving to St. Vincent DePaul, and I planned on devoting more funds to this charity just because I know it has helped people in my community and does not lecture on any political stance while it does so.  So let me know what specifically made you a strong supporter of  CCODP.  I also support LaSalette Brothers and Nuns and The Paulist Fathers.  These charities I feel better supporting and recommend others support too.
