Diocese ends grant over Planned Parenthood link; chancery official criticizes CCHD critics

[Dale_M]

The Archdiocese of Portland (Oregon) has rescinded a Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD) grant to Street Roots, a newspaper that advocates on behalf of the homeless, after the newspaper refused to remove a reference to Planned Parenthood from its resource guide.

Street Roots said that it was a victim of a “witch hunt,” and a columnist for the leading local newspaper attacked the decision. “It’s too bad that under pressure they chose to do the Catholic thing rather than the Christian one,” wrote Anna Griffin of The Oregonian.

We can never afford to do evil in order to do good. Supporting Planned Parenthood, which is intrinsically evil, is supporting evil. The diocese did the right thing.
