//Later, in same section, there are shocking contradictions. The Salvation Army notes that termination can occur when “carrying the pregnancy further seriously threatens the life of the mother” or diagnostic procedures identify a fetal abnormality causing only a “very brief post-natal period”. Further, rape and incest also represent “special case[s] for the consideration of termination”. These exceptions portray a troubling contradiction to the professed “sanctity, unique dignity and respect” due to the “image of God” found in our unborn brethren.//
Mormon views are even more pro-abortion (it is ok as long as you pray about it) yet people here defend them as being ‘pro-life’.
Nothing more than gossip. “Troubling connection?” Well, name it.
The SA is the best place to give cash. Catholic Charities give cash to lefty groups too. Would rather give to the SA and I am a Catholic.
How many lives would be lost if the Salvation Army was to be destroyed by this type of campaign?

How many Catholics in good standing with their church fully support abortion?
the homosexual agenda?
And the pope himself prays in mosques and has favorably compared the Bible to the Koran.
Undoubtedly the only conclusion one can make from these facts is that the Catholic church gives tacit support to planned parenthood, Islam, and the homosexual agenda.
I’m sending you a case of Windex for Christmas. Many glass houses to clean.
Why not promote the authors charity of choice without tearing g down other charity’s such as salvation army.
Amen!
Wounded warrior gives around 58% of the money to veterans. That’s pretty good for charities and gets it rated pretty high by the groups that monitor charities.
Horribly written, misleading, and unethical. It looks like the author has a grudge against the Salvation Army, and went looking for reasons to support that grudge.
The Salvation Army is simply the best-run organization in the United States, IMHO. My Marine friends might object to that...so I'd better Salvation Army is simply the best-run civilian organization in the United States.
This article is based on nothing but speculation and denigrates one of the most charitable CHRISTIAN institutions on Earth. Whereas most Catholic Priests live in good housing and eat the best foods, the Ministry of the Salvation Army is to provide for the needs of the poor and help with disaster recovery. They are usually first on the scene with food, clothing, and a warm hand and a smile. Yet, their salaries and stipends are extremely modest. The money put into those kettles is used for providing services, not for building fancy edifices and gilt idols of worship. There are lies, and damn lies. This one is lower than that!
This display of Roman Catholic bigotry is disgusting!
I don't see anything about promoting religious wars in the FR Mission Statement. Some here wish to turn it into a religion forum, and it usually devolves into "how many angels can dance on the head of a pin".
It goes along with the type of person who equates Billy Graham with known frauds and cults.
Take heart.
That kind of desperation is is very telling.
If that’s the lengths they have to go to to build themselves up, it doesn’t speak well of them.
Catholicism should be able to stand on its own merit. If they have to denigrate other non-Catholic organizations that way, it shows that it can’t.
And of course, there’s also Catholic Charities that they could be addressing. Start at home instead of ignoring the elephant in the room and attacking an organization that does such admirable work.
I’m not a Catholic but I am a conservative Christian and I support the Salvation Army as a worthy charity that does far more good than the “harm” supposedly caused by their stance on abortions.

Indeed. When Catholics quit empowering pro-choice pro-sodomite marriage Democrats on Election Day; I might give a rat's patootie about their opinions on those issues.
The Salvation Army does good things in a very bad world, and is known for having the least amount of overhead.
I am offended that someone would put up some Catholic Agenda hit piece on The Salvation Army that insinuates that the loose change you donate to the bell ringers outside the Piggly Wiggly goes towards funding abortions. That is outrageous.
Catholics ought to clean up their own mess of graft and institututionalized protection of homosexual abuse of children first before attacking The Salvation Army.

I posted my response before reading the comments... expecting a flame war... glad to see I am not alone here.
Yep. One reason Constantinople fell to Islam is that the various Christian powers continued to squabble among themselves as the Turks advanced.
Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
