The Times inaccurately reports that Catholic Charities and the Catholic Health Association have “endorsed the president’s plan without reservation.” In a letter dated July 31, 2009, Catholic Charities USA President Father Larry Snyder, wrote:
“I am writing to clarify that Catholic Charities USA does not support any plan to reform health care and/or any proposed legislative provision that allows or promotes the funding of abortions or compels any health care provider or institution to provide such a service. In fact, Catholic Charities USA will continue to work with the Catholic Health Association and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops to ensure that any health care reform legislation will not include such provisions.
“Catholic Charities USA will continue to work to reform health care in a way that is consistent with the teachings of our faith.”
In a statement on its website, Catholic Health Association also states:
“CHA has not endorsed any of the health care reform bills, but our message to lawmakers is clear: health care reform should not result in an expansion of abortion, and it must sustain conscience protections for health care providers who do not want to participate in abortions or other morally objectionable procedures.” (To read more from CHA, visit its website at www.chausa.org.)
