UN Committee Tells Catholic Church to Change Its Opposition to Adolescent Sex, Same-Sex Marriage and Abortion

The United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child instructed Vatican officials to change its position on abortion and same sex “marriage” and to remove all “taboos surrounding adolescent sexuality” (“UN Report Attacks Catholic Church’s Teachings,” Breitbart, Feb. 5, 2014). The UN committee is charged with overseeing implementation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, a treaty that has been ratified by every country except the United States and Somalia. Catholic officials were “grilled” for eight hours, and since the Vatican ratified the treaty, it is only getting what it asked for. The issue here for the Bible believer is not the Catholic Church; it is the power of the United Nations and its New Age anti-christ thinking. Thankfully, the UN committee currently has no authority to enforce its recommendations, and steps are being taken to reduce its authority even more. “Member-states of the UN are in a multi-year process to reform this practice, and the overreaching of these committees is on the table for reform.”
