The archdiocese is discouraging its students and staff from donating any money raised as part of the challenge to the ALS Association, saying the group funds a study involving embryonic stem cell research "in direct conflict with Catholic teaching." The diocese said schools could participate in the ice bucket challenge, but any money raised should be directed to groups like the John Paul II Medical Research Institute in Iowa City, Iowa, which conducts "pro-life driven" research, according to its website.
