OTTAWA, September 16, 2002 (LSN.ca) - The Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace, the official Catholic social justice arm of the Catholic Bishops Conference, has defended its support of a pro-abortion, pro-gay, strongly dissident online magazine. LifeSite reported that the Catholic organization, which has in the past been criticized by bishops for its support of pro-abortion ventures, is running banner ads on The Social Edge.
Several readers of LifeSite's exposé on the matter contacted Development and Peace to express their concerns. In a letter to one concerned pro-lifer, Rosanne Athaide from Development and Peace's English Education Sector wrote, "CCODP decided to advertise in this new forum as it encourages dialogue on issues at the heart of our faith-based work: development, peace, poverty and social justice issues." Another LifeSite reader was told the organization had only received a smattering of calls of concern.
