mortify ii Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 So the United Nations released a report earlier this month attacking the Catholic Church for its handling of pederasts and the negligence towards some of its flock. Ok, fair enough, but does anyone else feel the timing for this is a bit off? Perhaps it has to do with the other areas the report decides to go into. You see, the report does not stop at the sex abuse crisis, it reaches beyond it's own mandate and criticizes Church's moral teaching and goes so far as to offer the Holy See "suggestions" for change. Anyone else seeing a pattern in the media lately? Here are some quotes: 25. “…While also noting as positive the progressive statement delivered in July 2013 by Pope Francis, the Committee is concerned about the Holy See’s past statements and declarations on homosexuality which contribute to the social stigmatization of and violence against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender adolescents and children raised by same sex couples.†36. … [It] invites the Holy See to deal with the abandonment of newborns by spreading family planning and reproductive health as well as appropriate advisory support… [T]he Commission urges the Holy See to cooperate to determine the cause of the abandonment of the practice of anonymous infants and to promote alternatives. 48 . … [T]he Commission expressed concern that the Holy See and the Church does not recognize the existence of different forms of families and often discriminate against children depending on their family situation. 55 . The Commission invites the Holy See to reconsider its position on abortion that obviously puts at risk the lives and health of pregnant girls, and to amend the Canon 1398 on abortion by identifying the circumstances in which access to abortion may be permitted. 56 . The Commission is deeply concerned by the negative consequences of the position and practice of the Holy See denying teenagers access to contraception as well as health and sexual and reproductive health information 57 . (...) The Commission reminds the Holy See the dangers of early and unwanted pregnancies and illegal abortion, that for adolescent girls result in remarkably high rates of maternal morbidity and mortality, as well as the risk that the girls and boys from contracting diseases and sexually transmitted infections, including HIV/AIDS. http://www.lifesitenews.com/resources/what-the-un-really-wants-from-the-catholic-church-a-paragraph-by-paragraph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhuturePriest Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 The United Nations can floopy off, quite honestly. Its focus is supposed to be on establishing world peace. How about they bother themselves with the Christians being shot and bombed in the middle east and Africa instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PadrePioOfPietrelcino Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Personally I think the UN should get their piece keepers to stop raping and abusing women where they are deployed, and prevent rather than cause the spread of diseases, rather than try to dictate moral teachings to the Church. The UN is one of the MOST corrupt organizations in the world...yeah I'll listen to them about morality right after the Nazis, well...OK I'll be fair I'll put the UN just before the Nazis.

4LoveofJMJ Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 denying teenagers access to contraception as well as health and sexual and reproductive health information If I am not mistaken, the contraception that the Church deals out is called "Abstinence." Prevents pregnancy 100% of the time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blazeingstar Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Well, the church could go and condemn the UN, too. People will use this to vidicate their beliefs. However, the UN isn't really going to do anything becuase of the amount of humanitarian aid that the Catholic Church provides to various nations. If they ever ask the CC to pull out, and we do, they'd be in real trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
