Catholic Relief Services Stored, Dispensed Abortifacient Contraceptives to Millions

New report reveals CRS/USAID dispensed millions of contraceptives and abortifacients

Since at least 2009, despite numerous well documented reports, Catholic Relief Services (CRS) has denied having had any part in the distribution of contraception in any of its projects. Here are a few examples of what has already been reported:
In 2008, CRS was caught by theologian Germaine Grisez, distributing flip-charts promoting condom use.

• In 2012, 86% of CRS’s domestic grants went to organizations that distribute contraception, commit abortion, and perform sterilizations.
• In 2015, CRS enlisted the help of PEPFAR to alter the public record that showed that CRS implemented the contraception-promoting program, Healthy Choices II.
• Also in 2015, CRS was found to have applied for a government grant to implement the next phase of a condom-promoting video series it had already implemented.

In each case, CRS denied in any way to have promoted, distributed, or facilitated the distribution of any form of contraception. For instance, in response to a 2013 report by Population Research Institute that provided strong evidence of CRS’s participation in the distribution of contraception, CRS said:

'CRS programming does not include the promotion or distribution of artificial family planning or distribution of abortifacients in any country in which we work.'

The Lepanto Institute for the Restoration of All Things in Christ is a research and education organization dedicated to the defense of the Catholic Church against assaults from without as well as from within. Whether in the form of armies, heretics, or traitors, the Church has always faced enemies seeking Her destruction. Today, the Church faces all three.  

In 1571, at the famous Battle of Lepanto, recourse to the Rosary saved the Church against a powerful force. Soldiers and sailors still had to rely upon their wits, strength and blood in the fight, but it was Our Lady of the Rosary who ultimately brought the victory. Today, a powerful force is again assaulting Holy Mother Church but in a much more subtle manner. For more information, please use this link.
