BBC NEWS | World | Europe | Vatican urges end to Amnesty aid

Quote:

The Vatican has urged all Catholics to stop donating money to Amnesty International, accusing the human rights group of promoting abortion.
The Vatican also said it was suspending all financial aid to Amnesty over what it said was the group's recent change of policy on the issue.

Amnesty said it was not promoting abortion as a universal right.

But the group said that women had a right to choose, particularly in cases of rape or incest.

"No more financing of Amnesty International after the organisation's pro-abortion about-turn," said a statement from the Roman Catholic Church's Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace.

Plain idiocy. Religion throwing yet another salvo of it's irrational crap out into the world.

They'll soon realize that the more they try and seperate themselves from all the wrongs they see in the world, the more isolated a barren their populace will be..... this should go to show that

#1 - If you hold onto old ways blindly without using your own head, you won't evolve and you will become extinct.

#2 - Apparently the majority of the rest of the world disagree with what they teach and what they believe (Myself included) so perhaps maybe they should start to adjust their ways, or at least accept their ways will no longer work now a days.

The Vattican just did the same thing to Mexico City for allowing abortions in their city...... they also did the same thing towards a group of female priests in Canada...... because they were women and were not approved by the vattican, they cut them off from the Roman Catholic branch.... I mean let's forget that they were actually decent people trying to promote the religion, they got so stuck up their own asses about their own failing rules and regulations, they don't even understand what's good for them anymore.

It's very sad.... instead of opening their arms to those who are different, they are continually closing their doors to anybody different...... which isn't the Christian way.....

A move by the more conservative theists to prepare for their upsurge in enforcement of reducing liberty

I am going to boycott the Pope because none of the Nuns are having babies and that is as bad as aborting those future generations. So no more donations for that church.

Waah! The Catholic heirarchy asks it's adherents not to DONATE their personal money to an organization that has taken a position in opposition to that of the Catholic heirarchy, and you complain.

Its THEIR money. Do you pretend to believe that organizations like PETA or moveon.org don't warn their adherents about groups that choose positions in opposition to theirs?

This is a "move along, nothing to see here" story.
