Madagascar Archbishop denounces U.S. Bishops’ agency for pushing contraceptives in his diocese
- Thu Aug 01 08:26 EST
After CRS claimed it is “simply false” that they are distributing contraceptives in Madagascar, quotes from an archbishop and clergy in the African country support the report.
“Even in my own diocese! Without my knowledge,…they [CRS] were working on an artificial contraception project here,” said Archbishop Désiré Tsarahazana of Toamasina.
As part of a month-long investigation in the fall of 2012, the Population Research Institute interviewed clergy in Madagascar, including two archbishops, who shared grave concerns about CRS’ work in the country.
According to PRI, the bishops went public with them after they had held a private meeting with CRS’ president, Dr. Carolyn Woo, to no avail.
They released the archbishops’ quotes Wednesday after CRS accused them and other pro-life groups on Tuesday of carrying out “unrelenting attacks” that “attempt to cause division in the Body of Christ” and are “harmful to the Church and to the pro-life cause.”
