The Missouri Catholic Conference is urging candidates for state offices to return contributions from a nonprofit organization that advocates for stem cell research and other medical analysis and testing.

The move has inspired a complaint to the Internal Revenue Service, arguing that the request violates prohibitions on political activity by nonprofit organizations.

“It constitutes illegal political interference,” said Marcus S. Owens, a tax lawyer, who filed the complaint on behalf of a client he declined to identify.

The Missouri conference sent the request to more than 50 candidates for state offices who received donations from the organization, Supporters of Health Research and Treatments.

Lawrence A. Weber, executive director and general counsel of the Missouri conference, said he heard about the complaint over the weekend but did not see Mr. Owens’s letter until a reporter faxed it to him on Monday.

His elementary education was undertaken at St. Mary School in Richland Center (1954-1959) and at St. Joseph School in Stratford, Wisconsin (1959-1962).
