The following is from the Catholic Courier, 11/21/08:

Local Catholics are planning a vigil at Sacred Heart Cathedral this weekend in solidarity with protesters trying to shut down the U.S. Army’s Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation (WHINSEC), a school that trains Latin American soldiers in combat. The school, located at Fort Benning, Ga., was known as the School of the Americas prior to 2001. The vigil — sponsored by Pax Christi Rochester and Catholic Family Center’s Office of Social Policy — will take place from 2 to 3 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 23, at the cathedral, 296 Flower City Park, Rochester…Vivian Rightmyer, a Rochester Pax Christi member who is coordinating the local vigil, said volunteers have made dozens of white crosses with the names of martyrs on them to show the bloody legacy of the school. “(The school’s graduates) are responsible for some of the worst human-rights abuses in America,” Rightmyer remarked.

From Catholic Action UK’s website dossier on Pax Christi:

Pax Christi’s stance brings it into contact with some extremely un-Catholic organisations. Its links page is full of militant hard-left, anti-war and pacifist groups, most of whom are opposed to the Church’s teaching on sexuality and the family…It is friendly to liberation theology, condemned in the 1980s by the Vatican…Pax Christi is well received by militant feminists…Thus the ‘Justice and Peace’ agenda is a continuation of the error of liberation theology, that the Church’s main focus should be on the advancement of living standards rather than on the salvation of human souls.

From LA Catholic Mission:

Yet, Pax Christi’s statement makes no call for legislation against abortion, though the group supports legislative solutions in war and peace, racial justice, and environmental justice issues. An example of this is the Bread Not Stones Campaign, which is described as “a national Catholic campaign to redirect exorbitant military spending to provide more funds for social needs like health care, education and job training.” But, as for abortion, besides addressing injustices that push women to the alternative of abortion, Pax Christ USA merely urges “that all parties to the debate conduct themselves in a spirit of compassionate respect for their opponents and not allow the discussion to degenerate into arguments or actions which could lead to, or involve, the great of physical and psychological violence. Pax Christi USA commits itself to engaging in the debate by promoting dialogue and the search for the common ground among those on all sides of the issue.”

From CatholicCulture.org:

The organization seems to care more about finding common ground with abortionists and the gay rights lobby than about working for true peace.
