More CRS Entanglement With Contraceptives

Rob Gaspar of American Life League wrote of yet another chapter in the sordid CRS/Abortifacient saga.  It seems that the United Nations Population Fund (UNPF) developed a proprietary software (called CHANNEL) to facilitate distribution of contraceptives and abortifacients in Madagascar and other nearby localities.  Some of these areas lacked the electrical infrastructure needed to run the computers housing CHANNEL.  They decided to power them with solar panels.  They set up 33 of these scenarios; 19 of them were funded by - you guessed it! - Catholic Relief Services.

While CRS claims it was using CHANNEL to manage mosquito net distribution, the fact is that UNPF developed CHANNEL with the specific intent of facilitating the spread of baby-killing potions.  Read the ALL article to see the questions that Gaspar asked of John Rivera, CRS's Communications Director.  At the time the ALL article went online, Rivera had yet to respond.

There are many more stones to be overturned, I suspect.  In each case we will catch the worms and bugs scurrying for cover.  Time to defund the CRS.

More Pro-Life Leaders Weigh In On The CRS Scandals

I needn't rehash what they say here.  Rather, I link to the words of Randy Engel of U.S. Coalition for Life and Rob Gaspar of the American Life League.  Ms Engel calls for a boycott of the CRS collection next year.  I'll take it a step further and say that the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (that oversees both CRS and CCHD) should be unceremoniously scrapped and its rubble swept into a dung heap.  I suspect that will be in the distant future; for now I'll settle for the boycott.

Special Vortex On Latest CCHD Scandals

In this special report, Michael Voris interviews Michael Hichborn and Rob Gaspar of American Life League.  The latter two have discovered that the scandals of CCHD grants have actually increased this year - something quite different from the party line that has been fed to us.  The report itself is over 2000 pages long; links to it can be found at the ReformCCHDNow site.  On the bright side, this report is a few hundred pages shorter than the Obamacare legislation, but I digress!

As you watch this report and look at the material yourselves, realize that all this played a large part in Obama's victory last week.  If you have donated to the CCHD in recent years, you have inadvertently donated to organizations that favor abortion, gay rights, socialism - all positions assumed by the Obama progressive cartel.  We might safely assume that some of your donations have been diverted into Democratic coffers.  Toward the end of the clip, Hichborn makes a salient point: we will not win the culture war if we have elements in the Church that are funneling resources to nefarious groups.

What Do the Letters "CCHD" Truly Represent?

The official answer to that is (of course) "Catholic Campaign for Human Development". However, what are more accurate meanings? Might one be "Clueless Catholics Headed for Disaster"? Or maybe "Complicit Crooks Helping the Devil"? This question may be somewhat more than merely rhetorical, as you'll see below.

This past Friday, EWTN's Raymond Arroyo hosted ALL's Michael Hichborn and Rob Gaspar, founder of Bellarmine Veritas Ministry. In this interview, Hichborn pointed out that many Catholics have been learning the truth about these dubious recipients of CCHD grants just by surfing their websites. I know that's true, for I have done precisely that, and have posted information here. Hichborn asks, "if we can just go to their own websites ... and we can find this information, why can't their (CCHD) screeners?" He concludes "either they're incompetent or they're complicit."

Below are two videos: one of the EWTN interview and the other is Hichborn pointing out CCHD woes. Please watch these.






We also refer you to this list of new discoveries by the ALL. For these reasons, we urge a complete boycott of the CCHD collection this weekend.
