CFC
versus CFC
CFC
versus CFC! The infiltration of the
Catholic Church has long been in the
works -- from this pro-abortion CFC
group, to radical feminist nuns, to
liberal humanist clergy, to CFC-GK that
marginalized Christ and brought in New
Age. The enemy is within!
CFC-FFL
will work to strengthen its Catholic
identity and rise in defense of her
authentic teachings.
God
bless.

Pro-Abortion
Catholic Group is Considered
for UN Accreditation
NEW
YORK, January 22, 2009 (C-FAM)
- The United Nations (UN) committee
responsible for vetting applications
of non-governmental organizations
(NGOs) for official status began
its latest session this week.
The committee is slated to consider
the Mexican affiliate of “Catholics”
for a Free Choice – now
called Catholics for Choice
(CFC) - an abortion advocacy
organization which has worked
hard to get the Holy See stripped
of its UN observer status.
Established
in 1994, Católicas por
el Derecho a Decidir (CDD) was
one of the lead advocates for
liberalizing Mexico City’s
abortion law. When Mexico City
loosened its law to allow abortion
up to the twelfth week of pregnancy,
CDD director María Consuelo
Mejía said “this
achievement marks the beginning
of a process for women to have
real access to safe and legal
abortion services and to exercise
their right to decide.”
The
main “Catholics”
for Choice website describes
its Mexican counterpart as an
organization which offers “liberating”
Catholic positions on sexuality
and “reproductive health.”
CFC praises its sister organization’s
work in Mexico on the abortion
and contraception issue since
it “reflects the diversity
of perspectives that exist within
Catholicism, especially on the
topics of reproductive rights,
sexuality, and women's roles.”
If
approved for NGO status, critics
anticipate that CDD will bring
the same abortion advocacy and
criticism of the Holy See to
the UN. “Catholics”
for Choice has been a UN accredited
NGO since 1998 and made a name
for itself by breaking the longstanding
UN protocol which prohibits
NGOs from attacking individual
UN member states. CFC launched
the unsuccessful “See
Change” campaign which
called for the Holy See's UN
status to be downgraded from
that of a non-member State with
Permanent Observer Status to
that of a non-governmental organization.
The
19-member NGO committee is a
subcommittee of the UN Economic
and Social Council (ECOSOC),
one of five principal organs
of the UN which approves and
governs participation of all
UN NGOs. The NGO Committee uses
various criteria to recommend
official status. Official UN
recognition of an NGO allows
the group to gain access to
UN property and to participate
in UN negotiations. UN NGOs
range widely from service groups
like the Red Cross that carry
out UN programs, to policy groups
like the Center for Reproductive
Rights that lobby the UN on
particular issues.
Debates
within the NGO accrediting committee
meetings over applications from
homosexual rights groups have
become increasingly heated in
the last few years. While the
ECOSOC council almost always
accepts subcommittee recommendations,
it has overturned at least two
of the NGO Committee’s
recommendations in order to
accredit homosexual rights groups.
Along
with Católicas por el
Derecho a Decidir, the NGO Committee
will also review an application
from the Organisation Suisse
des Lesbiennes and revisit applications
from two gay rights groups that
were deferred last year, the
Swiss-based LESTIME, or Communauté
lesbienne de Genève and
Brazil’s Associação
Brasileira de Gays, Lésbicas
e Transgêneros.
