Bishops Critical of Amnesty International
 
The U.S. Bishops want Amnesty International (AI) to restore its neutral position on abortion and reverse a recent decision by its Executive Council to take a pro-abortion stand. "The action of the Executive Council undermines Amnesty's longstanding moral credibility, diverts its mission, divides its own members (many of whom are Catholic or defend the rights of unborn children), and jeopardizes Amnesty's support by people in many nations, cultures and religion," said Bishop William Skylstad, president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). He urges AI to reverse the decision when it meets in Mexico in August.
