Catholics, beware of who you donate to!

Apparently, at least in North Dakota, Catholics aren't to donate to groups like CropWalk, Susan G. Komen's Race for the Cure, UNICEF, and Amnesty International, amoung others, because they have some kind of support (direct or indirect) for contraception, abortion, equal rights for gays, or stem cell therapy / research. This, based on a fatwa issued by two bishops in North Dakota recently. Did it occur to them WHY, for example, UNICEF and CropWalk would support something like contraception? Or the Komen Foundation persuing stem cell research? Amnesty for gay rights? Oh, I get it--if the big bad church can convince enough followers to stop donating, they'll change their tune. Um, don't hold your breath. Anyhow, the article is here: http://www.grandforksherald.com/event/article/id/196958/publisher_ID/40/ Wonder if this'll catch on around the country.
