Comedy Of Errors

I am happy to endorse the boycott of Comic Relief/Red Nose Day on 17th March, as suggested by Fr Tim Finegan (Hermeneutic Of Continuity) and Catholic Action UK

The danger of generic charity giving on such a large scale is that we lose control over the charities we support, and our money often ends up supporting dubious organisations whose work around the world, no matter how good intentioned, does more harm than good. I encourage all patrons of the Theatre to boycott Red Nose day and all connected fundraising ventures.

Comic Relief is known to follow a liberal/modernist agenda in the causes and organisations it supports. For example, two of Comic Relief's major partners for African development are Oxfam and the African Women's Foundation, charities which openly support abortion and dubious methods of birth control.

Almsgiving is one of the traditional disciplines of Lent, so please donate the money you would have spent on Comic Relief to a worthy cause of your choice.

I especially reccommend the Society For the Protection of Unborn Children (SPUC) and the St Vincent De Paul Society (SVP)
