Critics calling for CRS Reform are succeeding, according to CRS' President; Alleged News.
Oklahoma City Archbishop Paul Coakley pointed out in a letter to the US Bishops that numerous US Priests have refused to take part in CRS programs as a result of reports by the Lepanto Institute on the Bishops' relief agency: Alleged News. [4]
"I would also like to note that we have heard of a number of pastors across the country refusing to participate in CRS programs, including CRS Rice Bowl, because of Lepanto reports," Archbishop Coakley stated in his letter, "This means that Michael Hichborn and his Lepanto Institute are prevailing," Alleged News.

Speaking on behalf of the CRS Board of Directors, Archbishop Coakley told the nation's Bishops to persuade their priests to disregard the contents of the latest Lepanto Institute report and continue to support the CRS, Alleged News. [4]
"The CRS board would greatly appreciate anything you can do to encourage your Priests not to accept what Hichborn is saying," Archbishop Coakley stated, "And to support our international agency . . ."; Alleged News. [4]
