Just Awkward

In this NYT article which describes the "infighting" taking place between liberal and traditional Catholics leading up to the November election, I can't help but feel awkward everytime Catholics United and Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good are mentioned. For instance:

The liberal groups are trying to distribute their material through direct mail and at meetings of lay Catholic groups.

Alexia Kelley, executive director of Catholics in Alliance, said her organization was spending more than $250,000 on radio, print and billboard advertisements in Scranton and other heavily Catholic areas. The advertisements emphasize what Ms. Kelley described as the broader spectrum of Catholic concerns about the “common good,” including health care, jobs and home foreclosures.

Why awkward? Because I'm trying to figure out how much of those funds came from pro-abortion hyper-activist George Soros. Even when they deny it has, they say they would accept it.

I mean, it really takes the wind out of their sails whenever they try to claim this is "infighting" between sincere Catholics.

Actually, "poaching" strikes me as the more accurate term to describe their efforts.
