UN says Vatican should change Canon Law.

[Raphael]

Not sure if Civics is the right place for this.

The UN has condemned the Vatican over the sexual abuse scandal (fair enough, they shouldn't have been covered up), but also on homosexuality, contraception and abortion, saying that the Vatican should change cannon law to ensure children's rights and their access to health care are guaranteed

UN denounces Vatican over sex abuse, abortion

It'd be nice if their recommended changes to canon law were all actually reconcilable with Catholic doctrine.

The most amusing part is that the Catholic Church is one of the most pro-gay institutions in the world. Where else can gays draw a paycheck for having sex with teenage boys? It's pretty much the gay equivalent of the UN Peace Corps.

And this is coming from the same group that spends its time wagging its finger at countries that violate people's human rights instead of doing something about it? Perhaps the Vatican should ask the UN where they are with all the civil wars happening in Africa.

Any word on when the UN gets around to issuing the same criticism toward, say, Islamic nations?

The U.N. ought to look after the plank in their eye first: Child sexual abuse by UN peacekeepers

Amen to the both of you.

And thus why the UN is full of a bunch of hypocrites. Who should spend their time actually doing something for others instead of wagging their collective fingers at everybody else. Is there actually anybody who takes them seriously?
