Gustavo Vera, Jeffrey Sachs Featured Speakers at Vatican Conference

Posted March 7, 2019 Peter

Gustavo Vera and Jeffrey Sachs were featured speakers at a Vatican conference (March 4-5) sponsored by the Pontifical Academy of Sciences.  Journalists were not invited to the working sessions.

Gustavo Vera

Gustavo Vera is a close friend of Pope Francis from Argentina in the days he served as the Archbishop of Buenos Aires. Vera established a non-governmental organization called La Alameda reportedly designed to help fight human trafficking, drug-smuggling and corruption.

Vera’s name has been in the press in relation to the suspicious death of Natacha Jaitt.  Jaitt was scheduled to testify against Vera two weeks from the time of her death.

Jeffrey Sachs

In a recent article from Life Site News, Italian journalist Riccardo Cascioli describes the agenda of Jeffrey Sachs:

Sachs is crucial to understanding the change in recent years in the Holy See’s stance on population, development and the environment, said Cascioli.

Sachs is a Harvard-educated economics professor at Columbia University and a high-level UN consultant regarded as a leading expert in economic development and fighting poverty. He has twice been included on the Time magazine list of 100 Most Influential People in the World.

In his 2008 book “Commonwealth: Economics for a Crowded Planet” Sachs said legalized abortion is a cost-effective way to eliminate “unwanted children” when contraception fails. And in 2011, he said “Nigeria should work towards attaining a maximum of three children per family.”

Sachs has been invited to collaborate with the Vatican a number of times, including moderating and co-hosting a Vatican conference on climate change in April 2015 and presenting at another later that year in November, as well as delivering a keynote lecture for the Pontifical Academy of Sciences in 2013. He is scheduled to participate in the next Vatican climate change conference in early November as well.

Sachs also co-authored the final Vatican environmental mission statement entitled “Climate Change and the Common Good.”

Sachs is “celebrated as one of the most important world economists and in the latest years a fixed guest star of conferences organized by the Vatican, especially from the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, more and more centered on ecology and sustainable development,” Cascioli said.

“In fact,” Cascioli said, “Jeffrey Sachs is the key figure to understand the transformation that has taken place in the Holy See’s approach to the issues of population, development and the environment.”

Sachs has devoted his professional life to sustainable development, explained Cascioli, and he insists it is the answer to poverty.

For Sachs, sustainable development “requires a unified approach to the changes of society rather than simply seeking economic growth,” said Cascioli.

He has advocated abortion in his work, describing it as a “lower-risk and lower-cost option” than having children.

RE: abortion...”lower risk and lower-cost option” than having children

NO on both counts. Dr. Anthony Levatino, a former abortionist, testifies that abortion is extremely risky for women. The reason the Left gets to pretend it is safe is because “privacy” rulings dictate that all known harms of abortion to women are counted as maternal injuries, and of course, they are fatal to the child. As for lower cost, just look around. There are shortages or workers in every country where abortion is freely available. Europe has a de-population crisis and we are close to that. Social security is in jeopardy especially because of the 61 million abortions since Roe v. Wade.

Gustavo Vera - from Wikipedia translated into English:

He served as director of the La Alameda Foundation , which fights against human trafficking, slave labor, child exploitation, pimping and drug trafficking.

In 2018, Gustavo Vera was accused of conspiracy in a pedophile network by the late model and actress Natacha Jaitt in the television program La noche de Mirtha hosted by Mirtha Legrand.
