Sun Myung Moon was the Korean religious leader whose [[Unification Church]] had connections to the [[Contras|Contra]] support network through its anti-Communist political activities. Moon's organization shared the Reagan administration's anti-Communist ideology and provided support to causes aligned with the Contra war.[^1]
### Anti-Communist Alliance
Moon's Unification Church operated as part of the broader anti-Communist network that supported the Contra cause. The church's political arm, the [[CAUSA|CAUSA Foundation]], worked with Latin American anti-Communist movements and had ties to the same [[Central Intelligence Agency]]-connected networks that supported the Contras. Moon's organization participated in the constellation of private groups and foreign interests that supplemented official U.S. support for the Contra war.[^2]
