Food For the Poor (FFtP) is a popular Christian charitable organization that does much laudable work in alleviating poverty, especially in Latin American and Caribbean countries. We scoured FFtP’s documents and activities and did not find any evidence that FFtP directly supports activities against Catholic teaching. However, FFtP does collaborate with and financially support outside organizations, some of which use that support to provide and promote contraception, primarily condoms, in areas … [Read more...]
