Donating to the American Bible Society

Question:

The American Bible Society has asked me for donations for Bibles for the military and for people in China. Is it OK to give?

Answer:

The American Bible Society is a nondenominational, nonprofit organization that, according to Wikipedia, “publishes, distributes and translates the Bible and provides study aids and other tools to help people engage with the Bible.” The Society has worked in partnership with Catholic leaders to provide Bibles and other study aids for Catholics seeking to study Scripture.

Since the American Bible Society has programs to provide Catholics with Catholic materials and does not seek to pull Catholics away from their Faith, there seems to be no reason why Catholics cannot support the Society’s work.
