Once again I'm speechless: "Vatican urges end to Amnesty aid" (in BBC news)

I really don't know what to say...

This article concerns a statement that Amnesty International made. In which it said that women that have been raped or suffered from incest should have the right to choose whether or not to take the resulting pregnancies to term.

So, regarding this the Vatican has stated that all financial backup and aid to this Human Rights organization should be ended, by all catholics.

I know that the Catholic Church is against abortion, but to take such a strong measure or better to promote such a strong measure against an organization that has done so much for Human Rights... I really do not know what to say...

Here's the link to the BBC news article:
