A recent United Nations report by the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child called on the Catholic Church to support abortion, gay rights and contraception. The committee also urged Russia to repeal its gay propaganda law.
A United Nations committee is coming under fire today from a British pro-life group that says it is attacking the Catholic Church and pressuring it to support abortion.
Officials with the England-based Society for the Protection of Unborn Children (SPUC) say the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child overstepped its mandate in its pro-abortion attack on the Catholic Church. SPUC is recognised officially by the UN as a non-governmental organization (NGO), and provides most of the pro-life lobbying efforts at the UN institutions in New York and Geneva.
SPUC was responding to a report published today by the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child which attacked the Catholic Churchs teachings on abortion under the guise of a critique of the Churchs handling of child sex abuse cases. As SPUC informed LifeNews by email, the UN report, among similar things, recommends that the Catholic Church identify circumstances under which access to abortion services can be permitted (section 55) and overcome[s] all the barriers and taboos surrounding adolescent sexuality that hinder their access to sexual and reproductive information, including on family planning and contraceptives (section 57a).
Today the Vatican blasted back at the UN committee. FOX News reported:
The Vatican blasted back at a UN-authored Rights of Children report, saying its criticism of the churchs stand on homosexuality is driven by critics of the churchs non-negotiable teachings.
The U.N. Committee on the Rights of the Child, whose members have included such nations as Saudi Arabia, Syria, Uganda and Thailand,accused the Vatican Wednesday of systematically adopting policies that allowed priests to rape and molest tens of thousands of children over decades, and urged it to open its files on pedophiles and bishops who concealed their crimes.
Archbishop Silvano Tomasi, the head of the Holy Sees delegation to the United Nations in Geneva, told Vatican Radio that non-governmental organizations which favor gay marriage probably influenced the committee to reinforce an ideological line in the report. He did not note the irony of nations like Syria, which has used poison gas on children, Uganda, where kids have been forced to fight, kill and die in wars and Thailand, which has long been accused of tolerating a child sex trade, having served on the committee, which currently consists of representatives from 18 nations.
The UN report also severely criticized the Holy See for its attitudes toward homosexuality, contraception and abortion and said it should change its own canon law to ensure childrens rights and their access to health care are guaranteed.
Now it's all about abortion, contraceptives for adolescents ("children's rights and access to health care"), and LGBT training ("comprehensive sexual health and education") for children as early as state and international authorities can get their filthy hands on them.
Because "the Vatican" (by which they mean the Catholic Church) steadfastly objects to this entire sexual agenda, it serves the U.N. sex-campaigners' purposes best to simply mount a global campaign to undermine the moral influence of the Catholic Church.
And the media of course, serve the U.N. agenda all the way.
To quote Obi Wan Kenobi: You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious.
I think I read somewhere that the pharisees “scolded” Jesus.
Suggested reply: “Get thee behind me, Satan !”
Is the UN run by a bunch of abortionist queer pedophiles?
It would seem so ...

“Their (Catholics) problem is not me and democrats, their problem is themselves. Who are they? Are they these extreme conservatives, who are right to life, pro assault weapon, anti-gay, is that who they are? Because if that is who they are, and if they are the extreme conservatives, they have no place in the state of New York. Because that is not who New Yorkers are.” Governor Andrew Cuomo the Ugly Brother,aka Kennedy wife reject.
