Vatican to UN: Recommendations on ‘safe’ abortion and gay education ‘reprehensible’

Archbishop Francis Chullikatt, the representative of the Holy See to the United Nations, told the UN on Friday that recommendations promoting ‘safe abortion’ and homosexuality are ‘particularly reprehensible.’

The Archbishop called the promotion of abortion and homosexuality “a disservice to the best interests of children” that represent “only the opinions of the Committee” and lack “all force of judicial precedence.”

In light of the Vatican’s diplomatic approach at the United Nations, the condemnations are being seen as a particularly strong rebuke.
