Carolyn Portanova is the CEO of the Catholic Family Center in Rochester. In his campaign financial disclosure statement, pro-choice, pro-gay marriage Joe Morelle lists a $1,000 campaign contribution (July, ‘08) from a Carolyn Portanova.

Perhaps Bishop Clark may want to question his CFC CEO about this donation. If it is her and no action is taken then does this mean it’s alright for Catholics to give financial support to advocates for abortion? Could we then infer that there are no constraints on who we may support politically no matter how egregious their agenda? For example, could we support racists or proponents of genocide?

You can’t be much more “pro-choice” than Joe Morelle (100% NARAL rating). Unless of course you are Barack Obama. I wonder if a Carolyn Portanova has given any money to that campaign?
