Are the Holy See and the United Nations Too Close for Comfort?

Are the Holy See and the United Nations Too Close for Comfort?

NEWS ANALYSIS: The relationship has come under closer scrutiny of late.

VATICAN CITY —  When Pope Francis received in private audience United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres in December, the U.N. chief trumpeted the fact that the Holy See’s concerns “coincide with the core values” of the United Nations Charter.

These values consisted of reaffirming the “dignity and worth of the human person,” Guterres said in a statement, especially with regards to protecting the planet.

The Holy See’s communiqué was similar, focusing on peace, the U.N.’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), climate change and migration.

Neither statement mentioned the unborn, despite the SDGs (17 points for a sustainable future specifying 169 targets to be reached by 2030) and U.N. institutions as a whole fervently promoting abortion and contraception.

The omission was just one example of the ever closer alliance between the U.N. and the Holy See that critics say is growing at the expense of any mention of the Church’s nonnegotiable teaching.

Didn’t the Pope say he would bring Kobe Bryant back to life for 10% of Kobe’s net worth?

Bro, I'm not the one posting multiple daily hit pieces against the leader of your designation.

You might want to look in the mirror for the obsessed one.

Dude...I can't count the number of threads on which you've posted to me.

Now, run on back to your one or two post caucus threads.

As always with you...the narrative doesn't fit the facts.

Now keep on bashing the pope of the RCC....it's what you do best.

And again another false and easily disproven claim by you.

It's really too easy in these debates, ebb.

Then as a non-catholic, why do you get so offended when articles critical of Pope Francis are posted.

Is he your hero?

Posting on an open thread is stalking?

My, you're a paranoid little person.

I can see why people hardly post to you.

You need help ebb...you really do.

You’ve admitted you count my posts.

You’re a stalker, no doubt about it.

And again you error.

I am not offended at your posts....unlike you who does get offended when I call you on your idolatry over the Brown Scapular. I think somewhere deep inside you're being convicted on how wrong that thing is. Your pride just won't allow you to admit it.

However, back to your pope-bashing, I think it's rather comical and disingenuous at the same time that you claim to be a Roman Catholic, yet are constantly trashing your denomination for what you, a lay Roman Catholic, perceive to be error.

You're doing the same thing Luther and the other Reformers did.

No, I just did a quick scan to illustrate a point of how often you post against your denomination.

You’re a stalker, no doubt about it.

Nope.

However, I do see what you're attempting to do. You cannot counter my arguments so you resort to this tactic to get me to stop posting against you.

As I said just before....you're convicted somewhere deep inside....yet pride will not allow you to admit it.

Again, checkmate, ebb.
