Catholic Church Ends Its Support of Acorn

November 13, 2008, 12:46 pm

The Catholic Campaign for Human Development, which has donated more than $7.3-million to Acorn-related projects over the past decade, halted its contributions to the group in June amid allegations that Dale Rathke, the brother of Acorn founder Wade Rathke, had embezzled almost $1-million. Mr. Rathke did not comment for the article.
