Good, then you would be the person to explain why Catholic Relief Services helps fund contraception and abortion.
Nobody criticizes CRS more loudly than conservative prolife Catholics. That there are sinners in the Church, and bishops in collusion with them, is no surprise. CRS does what they do despite the teachings of the Church, not because of them. Their time is short.
Catholic Relief Service (CRS) does NOT fund contraception or abortion. Nor does it give to groups which do. However, many Catholics (such as Dr. Kopp) are scandalized by CRS’ cooperation with groups which do not share the Catholic Church’s values.
One such funding recipient is CARE International. No fund were used to provide abortions or contraception, but CARE International President Helene Gayle lobbied the U.S. Senate to overturn the pro-life Mexico City Policy. This is not even a case where funds given to one “benign” pocket prevent withdrawals from that pocket by a more sinister pocket, as is usually the case when dealing with funding controversies. Every penny given to CARE International was another penny spent on truly humanitarian purposes. But the funding of CARE International as an intermediary, nonetheless, burninshes CARE’s reputation and prestige, which CARE has then used for evil purposes.
The Catholic Church has been the standard-bearer for opposing artificial contraception. No other major church in America opposed contraception in the 1970s. But it is infected with liberals and compromisers, and cleaning up relationships between Catholic humanitarian agencies and liberal-promoting outside organizations such as CARE is the outward sign of the great and critical power struggle within the American episcopacy.
Just a side note: I just saw that CRS is headed by Bishop Kicanis, who was scheduled to be the next President of the US Council of Catholic Bishops. His unprecedented defeat was a key battle in the war I just mentioned between orthodoxy and liberalism.
