The
developed western nations of the world
are colonialists that only want to exploit
the poor people of the world, including
stealing their natural resources. They
want to reduce populations in the poor
nations by imposing their diabolical "solutions"
of abortion and contraception. They want
to destroy traditional families and values
by exporting sexual freedom.
These
colonialists proclaim their aim to reduce
or eradicate poverty, but their actions
only heighten poverty. Their selfishness
with their bountiful resources, a good
portion secured through exploitation
of poor nations, is what maintains poverty.
There are more than enough goods of
the world to feed everyone and to provide
an adequate lifestyle that is free from
need.
The
MDGs, with the colonialists' focus on
abortion as a universal human right,
are a tool for the colonialists' interest
and not for the good of poor nations.
They will cause destruction rather than
development.
The
greatest injustices are being committed
by these colonialists. May they eventually
experience the wrath of God.
Vatican: MDG's for Pop Control
"Malevolent and Shortsighted"
By
Hilary White
ROME,
September 23, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com)
– A senior
Vatican official warned the UN this
week against using the fight against
world poverty and hunger as an excuse
to push international population control
and other anti-human ideologies.
The
Cardinal President of the Pontifical
Council for Justice and Peace, Peter
Turkson, spoke to the summit of heads
of state and government on the Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs) on Monday.
“Any
attempt to use the MDGs to spread and
impose egoistic lifestyles or, worse
still, population policies as a cheap
means to reduce the number of poor people,
would be malevolent and short-sighted,”
he said.
“Reverence
for human life, from conception until
natural death, and respect for the capacity
of men and women to live upstanding
moral lives, affirms their personal
transcendence, even if they live in
poverty.
“Controlling
one's passions and overcoming hedonistic
impulses, constitute the starting point
for building a harmonious society. Such
respect is also the necessary and essential
condition for sustainable economic development
and integral human development.”
Turkson,
who hails from Ghana in West Africa,
said that most of the problems faced
by developing countries, especially
in Africa, are the result of “bad
governance and irresponsible state conduct
on regional and international levels.”
He
added, “I say this, not just as
a religious leader, but also as an African
and a man coming from a poor family.
I urge the international community not
to be afraid of the poor.
“MDGs
should be used to fight poverty and
not to eliminate the poor!
Instead, give poor countries a friendly
financial and trade mainframe and help
them to promote good governance and
the participation of civil society,
and Africa and the other poor regions
of the world will effectively contribute
to the welfare of all.”
The
Vatican maintains the position that
the MDGs, which make no direct mention
of abortion, can be understood so as
to exclude it in international development.
Nevertheless,
most governments with legalized abortion,
which include all the most powerful
states of the developed world, support
the inclusion of abortion as an intrinsic
part of the project.
Goal
3 in the documents – to “promote
gender equality and empower women”
– is normally taken in the international
community to include abortion.
Instead
of population control, Turkson urged
governments to focus on the “human
aspects of development,” including
“eradicating hunger, promoting
education, providing health care and
social services, ensuring equal opportunities
for work, and advocating responsible
stewardship of the environment.”
Eradication
of debt and the development of small
scale, local economic productivity,
Turkson said, are the keys to bringing
the developing world out of poverty.
Sharing knowledge of science and technology
is also needed to help local people
address health care and agricultural
and industrial needs.
Turkson
spoke against the pressure to impose
the West’s secularist, post-Christian
sexual mores on African countries. In
this, he was taking up a theme that
was prominent at the Synod on Africa,
held at the Vatican in 2009. At that
weeklong gathering of 300 African prelates
and international experts, many repeatedly
decried the attitude of the developed
countries towards an Africa that is
seen only as a victim continent and
an easily exploited source of natural
resources.
The
Holy See’s position, he said,
is that “great benefits will accrue”
if the MDGs are interpreted to uphold
“objective moral standards and
human nature.” Turkson described
“morally responsible openness
to life” as a “rich social
and economic resource” for the
whole world.
During
the Synod, African bishops and the heads
of international aid organizations not
affiliated with the Catholic Church
concurred that the
solution to hunger in developing countries
was not the elimination of those who
are hungry.
Dr.
Jacques Diouf, head of the UN’s
Food and Agriculture Organisation, said
that the agricultural technologies currently
in use around the world were more than
sufficient to feed the whole human population.
He decried the Malthusian principles
that say too many human beings are overloading
the world’s food production capability.
“On
the earth, there is a sufficient number
of financial means, effective technologies,
natural and human resources to eliminate
hunger in the world once and for all.”
In
their final document, the 300 assembled
prelates of the African Synod issued
a stern call for an end to the international
population control programs that they
repeatedly said had been stifling efforts
to help the poor and sick in African
countries.
Buti
Joseph Tlhagale, Archbishop of Johannesburg,
called the international population
control movement a “ruthless”
“second wave of colonization.”
He
warned that traditional African moral
values are being “threatened by
the new global ethic which aggressively
seeks to persuade African governments
and communities to accept new and different
meanings of concepts of family, marriage
and human sexuality.”
Tlhagale
added that the “cultures of Africa
are under heavy strain from liberalism,
secularism and from lobbyists who squat
at the United Nations.”
