UN gives Vatican deadline to answer questions on sex abuse cases
The Globe and Mail ^ | 7/10/2013 | Robert Evans

A United Nations human rights panel has posed a list of tough questions to the Vatican about child abuse by Catholic priests, a potential embarrassment for Pope Francis a few months into his papacy. The U.N. Committee on the Rights of the Child (CRC) asked for “detailed information on all cases of child sexual abuse committed by members of the clergy, brothers or nuns” since the Holy See last reported to it some 15 years ago, and set Nov. 1 as a deadline for a reply.

The fact that there are some bad eggs in the Church (even Christ picked 1 traitor ) does not mean that you can discount all of the wonderful work of the Church.

The eggs didn't get their by themselves...It's the Mother Chicken that leads the way...

Your good works???

Isa_64:6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

“corrupt false religion”

And your authority derived from.....?????

(psst....he’s going to tell us it is the Bible, but neglect to mention that it didn’t exist until the 4th century and the very folks he’s calling “corrupt and false”, are those who singularly preserved it for the subsequent 1600 years)

” UN gives Vatican deadline”

And if the Vatican misses the deadline, what are they going to do?

LOL! The Church was here long before the corrupt UN. This should be reversed.

Has the UN asked Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians, etc. about their child abuse history -- which BTW is larger than the Catholic Church's.>

I give the UN one week to answer child rape and murder charges.

You're still pitching that old canard?

If this gets the truth out then I’m not sure why any Catholic would be against this. It’s time to clean house. If this helps us on the road to doing that, so be it.

The corrupt one-world government strong arms the corrupt false religion about it's corruption. The irony is thick.

About as thick as the spiritual fog clouding up your glasses.

The real irony is that the one organization which truly defends children as evidenced by its long and often lonely fight with the UN to stop abortion being declared a universal "human right", is now taken to task by the world's major purveyor of child abuse, all in the name of "the children".

The UN, cheered on by America and most other Western nations is murdering children with one hand and pretending to protect them with the other.
