MASSIVE SHOW OF SUPPORT FOR THE VATICAN AT THE UN

NEW YORK, Mar 14 (LSN.ca) - On Wednesday, March 15, Focus on the Family will join Catholics and Protestant evangelicals in a news conference at United Nations Headquarters in New York to defend the Holy See's UN status against an attack by pro-abortion organizations. Pro-abortion lobby groups such as Planned Parenthood, Catholics for Free Choice and others have launched a campaign to have the United Nations remove the Holy See as a Permanent Observer of the UN. The term "Holy See" is the official designation for the Catholic Church at the UN.

Focus issued a press release noting that it will participate in the Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute News Conference scheduled for tomorrow at the UN. The coalition will present a historic "Declaration in Support of the Holy See at the United Nations" which has been signed by nearly 800 organizations from 50 countries.

"The Catholic Church has been the number one defender of the unborn child's human rights around the world and that's why pro-abortion forces are trying to shut the Holy See out of UN conferences," said Tom Minnery, vice president of public policy at Focus on the Family. "We Christians from all denominations will stand with our Catholic allies to see that the abortion industry is not successful at silencing the Holy See at the UN."

The presentation comes exactly one week after the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee passed a "concurrent resolution commending the Holy See for making significant contributions to international peace and human rights, and objecting to efforts to expel the Holy See from the United Nations by removing the Holy See's Permanent Observer status in the United Nations, and for other purposes." The resolution said that "any degradation of the status of the Holy See will damage relations between the United States and the United Nations."
