Bobby Shriver and Bono are the two main players behind RED and ONE. They are partner organizations. Bobby Shriver's dad Sargent Shriver used the Catholic church to push any causes he chose to push. The pulpit was his personal campaign podium. Sargent Shriver and Ruth Bader Ginsberg's husband were partners in a law firm. Reading Bobby Shriver's twitter account is nauseating. I bet he's pissed because he can't use the church to peddle his bullshit right now. Let's not forget that Sargent Shriver was using the Catholic church during the same time that pedophilia in the Catholic Church was running rampant.

While promoting nuclear disarmament in the political sphere, Sarge also considered the other avenues he had available to him for advocating the idea of a “No First Strike” policy—in particular, the Catholic Church. As Bundy, McNamara, Kennan, and Smith wrote their article for Foreign Affairs, Bryan Hehir (with Sarge’s encouragement) began drafting a pastoral letter to all Catholic dioceses in the United States that would “echo the moral arguments being made in the Foreign Affairs article”. The first draft arrived at Sarge’s office in June of 1982 and, after some thorough edits from Sarge himself, was released in early October of the same year.
Many felt that it was not the Catholic Churches place to weigh in on nuclear arms policy, but Sarge felt strongly that the church not only had a right, but moreover had a duty to pay attention to such global issues. He coauthored a letter with Gerard Smith to this affect that was sent to Ben Bradlee and A. M. Rosenthal, editors of The Washington Post and the New York Times, on November 17.
As the controversy grew over the Catholic Church’s involvement in the issue of nuclear disarmament, so too did Sarge’s resolute belief that this was a necessary effort on the part of the Church to make a statement toward the proliferation of peace on earth. On May 2, 1983, the American bishops of the Catholic Church voted almost unanimously (238-9) to endorse the letter written by Hehir, ensuring its publication in dioceses all over the country.
