February 5, 2014, the United Nations initiated an aggressive attack on the Catholic Church.  

Under the guise of an ongoing investigation into the Church’s response to sex abuse, the United Nation Committee of the Right of the Child misused their authority to viciously attack the Pro-Life stance of the Catholic Church.

It became clear that this report carried other motives, as it recommends the Catholic Church to:

  • identify "circumstances under which access to abortion services can be permitted" (section 55)
  • "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)
  • "ensure[s] that sexual and reproductive health education and prevention of HIV/AIDS is part of the mandatory curriculum of Catholic schools" (section 57c)

It just so happened that the UN report was issued days after the Pope made this statement via his twitter account: "I join the March for Life in Washington with my prayers. May God help us respect all life, especially the most vulnerable."

Was this report really sex abuse? Or was it to deliver punishment to the Church for not conforming to the liberal ideology of the UN?

In relation to the Church’s response to sex abuse, the report failed to mention that Pope Benedict XVI dismissed over 400 Priests.

The Catholic Church has continuously shown shame in the actions of Priests that were pedophiles. Pope Benedict XVI expressed support that all Priests should face justice.

Demand UN Apologize for Attacking the Vatican

Ms. Sandberg:

On February 5, 2014, the United Nation Committee of the Right of the Child (UNCRC) misused their authority to viciously attack the Holy See.

This committee, UNCRC, in which you are responsible for, presented misleading information on the details of how the Catholic Church handled cases of sex abuse. You should take note of the statement made by Pope Benedict XVI refering to justice and calling the incidents "deeply shameful." You should also note that the Catholic Church fired 400 Priests directly related to sex abuse allegations.

It is clear that your report is a sad attempt to use the awful and inexcusable incidents of sex abuse to influence and attack the Pro-Life stance of the Catholic Church. The following recommendations to the Catholic Church serve as proof and are completely unacceptable: (excerpts from the report)

  •  identify "circumstances under which access to abortion services can be permitted" (section 55)
  • "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)
  • "ensure[s] that sexual and reproductive health education and prevention of HIV/AIDS is part of the mandatory curriculum of Catholic schools" (section 57c)

You must immediately stop attacking the Catholic Church for their biblical stance for unborn children, contraceptives, and homosexuality.

I expect you to issue a statement of apology immediately!
