The Koch Brothers & CCHD | National Catholic Reporter

The Koch Brothers & CCHD | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: David also supports legalizing pot.  He is a libertarian - its a stock answer for us - even if we think life exists at conception or gastrulation (a better answer), putting the police power of the state in the mix does no one any good - including the unborn who die with their mothers in a botched abortion.  The puritanical Catholics who want to be more Catholic than the Pope need to look at why we have these positions, not just whether we agree with them or not.  I wonder if the influence of David's money, rather than his logic, will cause Fr. Z and his ilk to re-examine their views on CCHD.  Likely not.  The whole abortion and gay marriage thing is not the objection - its the association with governmental measures to decrease policy and the implicit socialism that really bothers the EWTN crowd - and David Koch and the Pope won't change that.
