Follow the Money - Attempts to Undermine Authentic Catholic Teaching Edition

The headline says it all:


Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- A Catholic pro-life group says new information adds to the criticism a couple of Catholics organizations have already received for trying to make Barack Obama seem pro-life on abortion. Leading abortion activist and billionaire George Soros is behind the groups.
Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good and Catholics United have been working overtime to mask Obama's pro-abortion views. The groups have called him pro-life even though he supports unlimited abortions throughout pregnancy for any reason.
In comments sent to LifeNews.com today, Catholic League president Bill Donohue exposes the nexus between George Soros and two left-wing Catholic groups.
In 2006, Soros’ Open Society Institute gave Catholics in Alliance $100,000 (double the amount he gave in 2005), Donohue indicates. In the same year, Catholics in Alliance listed Catholics United on its 990 as an organization with which it has a formal relationship.
Donohue says John Podesta, who runs the Soros-funded organization, Center for American Progress, admits that he works closely with Catholics in Alliance and Catholics United.
“Why would any Catholic organization take money from a man like George Soros? Because legitimate sources of revenue aren't available?" Donohue asks.
"And why would Soros have any interest in funding Catholic groups? He doesn't give the Catholic League any money, and if he offered, I would refuse it," Donohue says.
"“The reason Soros funds the Catholic Left is the same reason he lavishly funds Catholics for Choice, the pro-abortion group that has twice been condemned as a fraud by Catholic bishops: they all service his agenda," the pro-life Catholic leader indicates.
Donohue tells LifeNews.com Soros' agenda includes making "support for abortion rights a respectable Catholic position."
On October 17, Denver Archbishop Charles Chaput accused Catholics in Alliance and Catholics United as doing a "disservice" to the Catholic Church.
"He’s right. And now we know what really makes them tick," Donohue concludes.
In the short run, Soros' money might be used to mislead some people. But, as history has proven time & time again, authentic Catholic teaching will win out & remain the official teaching of the Church. & that is simply because the authentic teaching was formed under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Despite what some people think, God doesn't change His mind. Abortion was wrong 5000yrs ago. It was wrong 2000 years ago & it is wrong today. & for 2000 years the Church has listenned to the Holy Spirit & been faithful to God's will as found in Natutral Law, not changing as the winds of public opinion change. (Note: There is a huge difference between discipline, fasting etc, & matters of faith. discipline can change, doctrine can't.)
