Canadian Council of Bishops Shows its true Colors, Again

It would be accurate to say that it's a bit like the Marxist-Leninist kettle calling the right-wing pot, black, except for the fact that LifeSitenews is far more apolitical than is the Canadian Catholic Council of Bishops. Rather than attacking Rush Limbaugh and going on witch hunts (would that they actually hunted real witches) for alleged rightists, they should work on saving souls for a change.

Of course, if you don't have any real arguments, just try hurling insults and libelous claims.

D&P Accuses LifeSitenews of Association with Groups that Use Violence; “Far Right Wing Fringe”

By John-Henry Westen

OTTAWA, March 16, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The official international development arm of the Canadian Bishops’ Conference has produced a 10-page document in which the organization accuses LifeSiteNews (LSN) and Campaign Life Coalition (CLC) of association with “groups and individuals” who have used violence.

Speaking about the organizations, such as LSN and CLC, that have accused the Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace (D&P) of funding projects with partners that are involved in abortion advocacy, D&P writes, "These groups are part of the far right wing fringe element of North American society and have themselves been associated with groups and individuals who have resorted to violence to publicize their cause and achieve their objective.”

The document, “Questioning Development and Peace,” is a series of question and answers about the D&P funding controversy.

In answer to the first question, D&P explains that in the spring of 2009 a “militant anti-abortion advocacy organization and several supporting blog sites on the internet” made what the organization calls “unfounded accusations” about D&P’s funding practices. The document later identifies the “militant anti-abortion group” as Campaign Life Coalition, and the main internet site as “LifeSiteNews.com.”
