Michael Hichborn founder and president of the Lepanto Institute | HLJ EP453

Joining Steve is Michael Hichborn, founder and president of the Lepanto Institute, a well known public figure in the pro-life movement and in Catholic circles. After seven and a half years as American Life League’s Director of the Defend the Faith project, Michael founded the Lepanto Institute to assist Catholics in discerning the moral actions and programs of various charities.  He has written hundreds of highly detailed reports and articles on countless charitable organizations.  For over fifteen years, he has conducted an annual investigation into over 200 organizations receiving funds from the Catholic Campaign for Human Development, providing proof that at least a third of them are promoting abortion, birth control, homosexuality and Marxism.  He has written more than thirty highly detailed reports on Catholic Relief Services, producing more than a thousand pages of evidence that CRS is directly involved in the promotion of condoms, abortifacients, and grave sexual immorality overseas. Michael has also researched and published several reports on Catholic hospital systems that are involved in the performance of abortions, sterilizations, and even sex-change surgeries.
