CV NEWS FEED // Senate staffers have told CatholicVote that Catholic Relief Services recently attempted to mislead senators by falsely telling them African bishops were not opposed to the Biden administration’s push to use an AIDS relief program to promote abortions.
The House is moving quickly towards a reauthorization of the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). As it currently stands, the measure would allow organizations to use grants from the program to promote abortions and gender ideology abroad.
Six African bishops joined a number of other African leaders in signing a group letter protesting America’s use of AIDS relief funds to promote abortion in their countries. The letter was organized by the Heritage Foundation, a conservative American advocacy institution.
“We now know that Catholic Relief Services (CRS) told some Senate offices that the bishops denied signing such a letter,” said CatholicVote President Brian Burch. CRS’s “story shifted” quickly, however. Next, CRS claimed the African bishops had signed the protest letter, but didn’t know what they were signing.
“Heritage reached out to the bishops, who said they knew exactly what they were signing,” Burch said. “A seventh African bishop sent a statement to point out that he wasn’t on the original letter and wanted to be added.”
One of President Biden’s first actions in office was to sign a memorandum reinstituting foreign aid to organizations that promote abortion abroad, including the United Nations Population fund, which is complicit in China’s coercive abortion practices.

I’d say Catholic relief services is Catholic in name only.
Joe and his family doesn’t realize that this is the best his entire life will ever be. Eternity is gonna be much worse.
Sick.
Can’t quite put my finger on it but sometime during Catechism classes there was some mention of “thou shalt not kill.”
Remind me why I don’t give dime one to the Annual Bishop’s Appeal, Catholic Charities, or Peter’s Pence?
Tax The Church!
Same here. I am generous with my parish, but that’s it.
I imagine Catholic Relief Services is also a big time recipient of federal monies resettling and aiding Biden’s illegal hordes of “refugees” who came across the southern border.
