Catholics want $50K returned by grantee because of ‘Hey Grrl!’ pamphlet

If you run the risk of arrest for drug possession, make sure you “don’t keep all of your stash on you.”

Don’t want to get caught having sex in your car? “Make sure you have tinted windows.” And if you run the risk of being charged with prostitution, at least be sure to wear “sensible shoes.”

Advice such as this has made a District-based nonprofit the target of outrage from a coalition of 24 Catholic organizations.

In an unusual press release, the coalition, called Reform CCHD Now, on Thursday asked Empower D.C. to return a $50,000 grant from the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD) for engaging “in the promotion of abortion, prostitution and homosexuality contrary to grant requirements.”
