The Unification Church, led by Sun Myung Moon, supported anti-Communist causes including the Contra war through its political arm, the CAUSA Foundation. The church's anti-Communist ideology aligned with the Reagan administration's Central America policy.1
Political Activities
The Unification Church operated as part of the broader network of private organizations that supported the Contra cause. Through its CAUSA Foundation, the church worked with Latin American anti-Communist movements and maintained ties to the same Central Intelligence Agency-connected circles that supported the Contras. The church's activities illustrated how private anti-Communist organizations supplemented official U.S. support for the Contra war, creating a network of political and financial support that operated alongside the drug trafficking and arms smuggling operations.2
