A Jesuit-founded think-tank in Quebec has accused Canada's bishops of
turning away from Catholic social teaching and toward the Government of Prime Minister Stephen Harper. In an open letter to Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB)
chairman Archbishop Richard Smith of Edmonton, the Montreal-based Centre Justice et Foi (Justice and Faith Centre) said recent decisions by the
bishops reflected "a political conservatism that has nothing to do with
the Gospel". "You seem to put the preservation of your ‘good relations' with the
conservative Government above all other considerations," Justice et Foi director Elisabeth Garant wrote. She also criticised the CCCB for
meeting with Immigration Minister Jason Kenney at a time the Government
was tightening rules for immigrants and abolishing its post of chief
counsellor for social justice
