"Like lobbyists on Capitol Hill, advocates representing Catholic hospitals are also paid well."


"[E]ven Fred Caesar, Sr. Keenan's special assistant, made $198,212 in 2006."



From the The Catholic World Report. December 2009. Anne Hendershott's troubling essay, Mixed Signals.

NOTE: The letters CHA stand for the Catholic Health Association. This, in turn, is defined as "an advocacy organization that represents the interests of Catholic hospitals and large Catholic health organizations throughout the country."

Their current president is one Sr. Carol Keehan.

And so we read:

"Like lobbyists on Capitol Hill, advocates representing Catholic hospitals in the health care reform debate are also paid well.

"Although Sr. Keenan's $856,093 salary in 2006 (up from $654, 415 in 2005) was paid directly to her religious order, according to the CHA's 2007 IRS 990 report, several key employees at her organization received salaries of more than $300,000.

"Michael Rodgers, senior VP of Advocacy, was paid $316,806 in 2006.

"Lisa Gilden, general counsel was paid $325,206.

"Rhonda Mueller, VP of finance, was paid $268,873, and even Fred Caesar, Sr. Keenan's special assistant, made $198,212 in 2006."
