The two Roman Catholic bishops in North Dakota issued guidelines last week naming several well-known, and in some cases, church-related, organizations they say Catholics should not support, with money or volunteer work.

Bishop Samuel Aquila of the Fargo diocese and Bishop Paul Zipfel of the Bismarck diocese, released a joint document “Guidelines on Charitable Giving,” on Ash Wednesday, March 9.

They warn Catholics against giving to or working with the March of Dimes, UNICEF, Susan G. Komen for the Cure, an anti-breast cancer organization, or Crop Walk, which is promoted largely by Lutheran churches in the state. It’s not because of those organizations’ main work, but because they also support abortion rights, contraception or embryonic stem-cell research, the bishops say.

Okay, who the hell says that donating to UNICEF is evil?
