MEXICO CITY, June 3, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A letter written by the Cardinal of Mexico City, Most Rev. Norberto Rivera Carrera, to the Canadian Bishops Conference, says that the Jesuit-run Miguel Austin Pro Centre (PRODH) “does NOT represent the sentiments of the Church and has been characterized by its support and encouragement of groups and activities that are an affront to Christian values.” Until recently PRODH was a partner of the Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace (D&P), the Canadian bishops’ international development arm.
“With respect to the theme of defence of life, the organization has supported pro-abortion groups and promoted the purported woman’s right over her body, against unborn life,” said a translation of the letter obtained by The Catholic Register.
The cardinal’s letter confirms LifeSiteNews’ own assessment of the group in 2009, which was contradicted by the highly controversial Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB) ‘investigation.’ That investigation was not an independent investigation by the bishops, instead relying heavily on Development and Peace, with the head of D&P, Michael Casey, reportedly co-authoring the report, according to one of the bishops who was involved in the investigation.
