When one donates to an organization calling itself "Catholic," they typically expect certain things. They expect that it serves the needs of the poor in a way typical of Christian Catholic values. They do not expect it to employ those who abhor those values, or for it to take money or give money to those who support abortion.
LifeSite News of August 1, 2012 has an article by John-Henry Westen that reports that Catholic Relief Services is accepting money from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which supports contraception and abortion in developing countries. It gave the pro-abortion group CARE International $5.3 million. Catholic Relief Services is a member of the pro-abortion CORE group, to which it pays $3,000 in membership fees. CRS employees Mary Hennigan and Shannon Senefeld sit on CORE's board of directors and HIV/AIDS working groups respectively.
LifeSite News of August 21, 2012 has an article by Patrick B. Craine that is even more explosive, detailing that several employees of Catholic Relief Services have pro-abortion backgrounds. Daphyne Williams interned at Pro-Choice Resources before joining CRS in 2008. Dr. Amy Ellis came to CRS after working for Population Services International. While working for CRS, she gave a presentation at the International Conference on Family Planning. Dr. Pun Sok came to CRS from CARE, which, as before stated, promotes abortion. Finally, CRS employee Charisse Espy Glassman was such a dedicated pro-abort that she, while employed by Catholic Relief Services, deliberately drove her car into marchers at the DC March for Life in January 2011. Clearly, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops needs to reform Catholic Relief Services every bit as much as it needs to reform Campaign for Human Development, so that the faithful are not gulled into funding causes they detest.
