USCCB Confirms That Its Funding Request to Congress Includes Contraception and Condoms

On 2 May, the Lepanto Institute published an article titled, CRS: A Tale of Two Letters. In this article, the Lepanto Institute raised grave concerns over a joint letter signed by the US Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) and Catholic Relief Services (CRS), because the letter requested that Congress provide vast amounts of money to two agencies (USAID and PEPFAR) which are committed to the distribution of abortifacient contraception and condoms. What follows is an analysis of the responses received from two USCCB officials which directly admit that our concerns are real, but then deny that there is any problem.

Those Fools on the Hill need to try to focus and get sex off of their minds when they are supposed to be working. I’ll bet they all watch porn all day in their offices. Freaks.

Thanks for the link to the Lepando site. Very interesting.

Defending accurate information and pointing out mistakes are the two jobs of responsible scholars.

[Repent and Believe]

Yes, thank you for the information. Good work Michael Hichborn (author of article) and thank Mrs. X for her persistence with the right question.

The Doctor cites whom he thinks is the pope in writing:

“You will note that the Holy See specifically cites Catholic Relief Services.”

Well, no wonder the doctor cannot answer the question. He recognizes “the Holy See” while it involves an anti-pope (Mr. Bergoglio). Two peas in a pod who care not about the Church, really.

Lest we forget Benedict's comments about the positive use of condoms by homosexual prostitutes (which we all know don't only engage in homosexual sex).

Of course these comments were subsequently "clarified" by the Vatican's Lombardi and apologists continue to claim that they were completely in line with Catholic teaching. But, when one takes off the rose-colored glasses regarding Ratzinger's supposed orthodoxy, things become much clearer.
