What's Missing from this Diocese of Orange Web Page?

From an acquaintance in the diocese, I received this:

Have a look at the diocesan website ("Peace and Justice") http://www.rcbo.org/offices/peace_justice/legislative_advocacy.htm...

The brief paragraph beneath the Issues/Legislative Advocacy title on the Diocese of Orange webpage says:

"The Church has a rich history of involvement in and support of social justice issues consistent with the teachings of the Church. Following are relevant links which will help one find the Church’s position and call for action on the social justice issues of our time. "

The list "Issues and Legislative Advocacy" includes many current issues that Bishop Brown (and Bishop Soto, who is supposed to direct legislative action in the Diocese of Orange) consider important.

Some of the issues that are included are Citizenship, Death Penalty, Immigration, Health Care, Sweatshop Labor, Poverty and Third World Debt.

NOT INCLUDED IN THIS LIST OF IMPORTANT CURRENT ISSUES ARE...?????

Can you guess? Go back and look it over again...

Let's see., might these other important Social Justice issues be...abortion, embryonic stem cell research, euthanasia, homosexual unions, etc. But, I digress.

But the additional problem is the fact that the 2 links under Sweatshop Labor are links to UNICEF, which supports population control, contraception, and abortion.

Below is a link to Lifesite News that lists a number of articles about the anti-Catholic teachings of UNICEF including one regarding the fact that, after a damning report that was issued in 1996, the Vatican stopped their annual contribution to the organization.

Do Bishop Brown and Bishop Soto support UNICEF? If not, why do they erroneously instruct their flock by including UNICEF in the links where one can "FIND THE CHURCH'S POSITION"???
