UN COMMITTEE ATTACKS CATHOLIC CHURCH * TELLS CHURCH TO CHANGE TEACHING ON ABORTION * TELLS CHURCH TO LET KIDS HAVE SEX Do you find these headlines troubling? C-FAM has launched a global Campaign in Defense of the Holy See at the UN. Austin Ruse. President, Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute urges you to go to www.defendtheholysee.com right now and sign the Declaration in Support of the Holy See. Invite your friends and family to sign the petition.  “If you are Catholic, sign! If you are Evangelical, sign! If you are Jewish, sign. Muslim, sign! The Church represents all people of good will at the UN. If the Church was not there, abortion would now be a human right in UN documents. The family would be redefined. Religious freedom would come under further attack.”
