Background briefing: the Bishops of England and Wales have stated that Catholics can support Red Nose Day in good conscience (here). But pro-life groups are queuing up to point out that Red Nose Day supports abortion, through One World Action, which campaigns for abortion in poor countries (see SPUC here). It is an open and shut case: money for Red Nose Day/Comic Relief promotes abortion; donating for non-abortion purposes (by ticking a box) simply means that other donations can be diverted to fill the gap.
The bishops' attitude undermines the refusal of Catholic schools to support the event. Red Nose Day must not be supported.
