Who elected the UN the King of the Universe? Next the UN will be demanding ‘reparations’ and payments to, who, every victim of anything who ever lived. The Vatican should deafen its ears.

"Blistering criticism from the U.N." could be worn as a badge of honor.

I am not excusing the Roman hierarchy for its abysmal management of dealing with a sodomite infestation - but criticism from the corrupt whore-mongerers and pedophiles in the United Nations? please...

Those convicted of this in the past were told by Calvinists that they were never saved...

The SBC has pastors who were caught and convicted. Calvinists said they were never saved to begin with, but those convicted said they were still saved, just out of fellowship with God....

Didn’t the Holy See sign the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child? It would appear hypocritical to “deafen its ears” at this point.
