Catholic Moral Theologian Takes CRS to Task Over Condoms

Below is an exerpt from a Catholic World News article on Catholic Relief Services.

"In his cover story, "The Church Betrayed?" Grisez discloses that CRS take pains to separate itself from the overt promotion of condoms. CRS policy requires that "written educational material that contains information about condoms must not carry the CRS name or logo." Nevertheles CRS is involved in the distribution of these materials, he notes. Since CRS is affiliated with the US bishops, Grisez calls upon the bishops' conference to investigate the agency's approach. A truly Catholic campaign against AIDS, he argues, should fully embrace the wisdom of the Church teaching in opposing condum use."
