Calm down. The Holy See says the UN is quite the opposite.
Vatican Global Warming Archbishop and UN point man, Marcelo Sanchez Sorondo, never has a good answer to a question:
The United Nations is not “the devil,” so a papal think tank is free to collaborate with the international body as well as people of any political persuasion, said Bishop Marcelo Sanchez Sorondo, chancellor of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences.
The church will continue to collaborate with the United Nations on any joint project that “does not go against the doctrine of the church,” he said at a news conference July 15.
The Vatican academy is sponsoring a one-day symposium July 22 with the United Nations’ global initiative, the Sustainable Development Solutions Network, headed by U.S. economist Jeffrey Sachs.
The unjust and oppressive schemes going on in the Vatican certainly do go against the doctrine of the Church, which is exactly why it’s entirely appropriate that it collaborates with the UN. Of course the UN is not ‘the Devil’ but, much like Archbishop Sanchez Sorondo, it does make the Devil very pleased by doing all his dirty business. He’s a huge fan.
“The United Nations is not the devil. Rather, quite the opposite,” he said.
If the United Nations is completely opposed to the devil it must be the Church, yes? – or even God himself!
Is the Vatican so infested there’s not a saved soul in it?
Blessed Pope Paul VI, who was the first pope to visit the United Nations, told the general assembly in 1965 that the world organization represented the mandatory path of modern civilization and world peace, Bishop Sanchez said. Successive popes showed the same kind of support with their own visits to the U.N., too, he said.
Speaking to the UN and doing its cruel job are two different things. Citing the only Pope with the nerve to suppress the Mass of the Apostles and replace it with one he made up, and who flooded the hierarchy with faithless homosexuals, is at the least unconvincing. I know Pope Francis made him a blessed so you’re right, there’s that.
“Therefore, I don’t see how there can be any problem” with collaborating with the United Nations, especially as the academy has worked with many other world organizations and leaders, he said.
That’s a good point. The line of thugs and dictators trolling through the Vatican lately is quite long. None of them are the devil either.
“To see the devil in the United Nations, which some on the right tend to do, is not the position of the Holy See,” he said.
Take that ‘position of the Holy See’ line to St. Peter at the gates. That oughta fly.
