It states: “The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem. “During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.”

The other proteins and formaldehyde serve to activate the immune system and open up the blood-brain barrier. This is NOT a good thing."

U.N. Report: Vatican Policies Allowed Priests To **** Children
http://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/u-n-report-vatican-policies-allowed-priests-****-children-n22531

2/4/14

The United Nations heavily criticized the Vatican on Wednesday for what it said was a systematic adoption of policies allowing priests to **** and sexually abuse tens of thousands of children.

The devastating report published by the U.N. Committee on the Rights of a Child said the Vatican must "immediately remove" all known or suspected child abusers within the clergy.

It said the Holy See had "systematically placed preservation of the reputation of the church and the alleged offender over the protection of child victims."

In response, the Vatican said in a statement published on its website that some points made in the report were an "attempt to interfere with Catholic Church teaching."

The Vatican said it would examine the report thoroughly and reiterated its commitment to defending and protecting child rights in accordance with the U.N. guidelines and "the moral and religious values offered by Catholic doctrine."

The U.N.'s conclusions come after an unprecedented hearing in Geneva on Jan. 16 in which Vatican representatives were questioned by the U.N. committee.

Its recommendations are non-binding and the U.N. has given the Vatican until 2017 to report back. It criticized the institution for submitting its last report 14 years late.

"Well-known child sexual abusers have been transferred from parish to parish or to other countries in an attempt to cover-up such crimes," the report said.

It later added: "Due to a code of silence imposed on all members of the clergy under penalty of excommunication, cases of child sexual abuse have hardly ever been reported to the law enforcement authorities in the countries where such crimes occurred."

The U.N. report also denounced the Holy See for its attitudes toward homosexuality, contraception and abortion.

U.N. torture committee probes Vatican on sex abuse scandal, human rights issues

Hot seat ready for Holy See
there is a hot seat waiting for him alright

The Vatican is bracing for a blistering session this week before the U.N. Committee Against Torture, which is expected to address the Holy See’s handling of its churchwide sexual abuse scandal and its infringement on human rights.

The Rev. Federico Lombardi, Vatican spokesman, warned against “ideological pressure” if the U.N. panel veers off topic like its sibling U.N. Committee on the Rights of the Child did in a report earlier this year.

“A contributory factor is often the pressure exercised over the Committees and public opinion by [nongovernmental organizations] with a strong ideological character and orientation, to bring the issue of the sexual abuse of minors into the discussion on torture, a matter which relates instead to the Convention on the rights of the child,” Father Lombardi said. “The extent to which this is instrumental and forced is clear to any unbiased observer.”

The U.N. Committee on the Rights of the Child rebuked the Vatican in February for its handling of the sexual abuse scandal and suggested that the Catholic Church update its canon to approve homosexuality, abortion, birth control and premarital sex.

The Vatican is a signatory to the anti-torture and child protection treaties, both of which require periodic reports about efforts to implement policies and promote change.

The Holy See’s report on torture dates back to December 2012. The U.N. Committee Against Torture is scheduled to review and discuss the report Monday and Tuesday and present its conclusions May 23.

The Vatican’s report stated that “the Holy See condemns the use of torture as a grave violation of the Commandment ‘You shall not kill’ and works towards its abolition. The Holy See condemns other acts of cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, which may not amount to torture but are equally contrary to the inherent dignity of the human person and his or her integrity and identity.”

Advocates for abuse victims, however, see hypocrisy between the church’s proclamations and its practices

Barbara Blaine, president of the Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests, issued a statement urging the U.N. committee not to let the Vatican continue to “endanger children and dodge accountability.”

“Now, for the first time, U.N. panels are addressing, in a fair and forthright way, the continuing sexual violence and cover ups in the church. And now, apologists for the Vatican cry foul,” Ms. Blaine said. “We ask that you keep in mind that torture and violence can be subtle and manipulative. Or it can be blatant and brutal. Either way, it’s horribly destructive to the human spirit, especially when inflicted on the young by the powerful, on the truly devout by the allegedly ‘holy.’”

Siding with survivors network, the World Organization Against Torture said that by allowing **** and other sexual abuse, “the Holy See has failed its duties to prevent torture and other acts of ill-treatment within its jurisdiction, thereby violating [the Convention Against Torture].”

“Although the Holy See has started to recognise the seriousness and scale of the abuse, this has not resulted in clear action to ensure that allegations of child sexual abuse are reported publicly and investigated and prosecuted by law enforcement authorities,” the organization said.

Both advocacy groups demand changes to church policies such as removing all known child sex abusers and releasing more information about abuse cases.

Church supporters also are lobbying their case before the U.N. committee, offering warnings similar to Father Lombardi’s to avoid overstepping bounds and criticism of the committee’s review process.

“The Catholic Church has done so much to prevent torture, if they had known this treaty means [the United Nations gets] to come and change [their] teachings on moral and social issues, they would never sign that,” said Jim Kelly, president of the Solidarity Center for Law and Justice. “Yet that’s where they are today.”

UN claims Vatican tortures woman with prolife teaching

A United Nations panel is preparing to tell the Vatican to stop torturing women.


There is a history of U.N. panels exercising authority they do not have to pressure nations to change laws and violate religious beliefs. Austin Ruse of C-FAM tells OneNewsNow the Vatican has been called into question before.
Ruse

“It is an example of yet another out of control U.N. treaty monitoring body,” he says. “Two months ago, the Vatican was before another treaty monitoring body, the Committee on the Rights of the Child, and was directed by the committee to change the church's teaching on abortion, contraception, adolescent sexuality, homosexuality, marriage, the whole kit and caboodle.

Years ago, the Vatican signed a U.N. treaty on torture and this week was called before a treaty monitoring body where representatives were told the church is violating that treaty because standing against abortion is torture to women.

“And the funny thing is Christians are being tortured around the world right now, and there're probably more Christians being tortured right now than any other group in the world,” Ruse adds. “Yet this torture committee is grilling the Catholic Church about things like abortion and contraception.”

In that respect, Ruse says the committee discredits itself and also harms the effort to curb legitimate human rights violations. Within a month or two, the committee will issue a report and C-FAM fully expects it to condemn the Vatican.

UN Calls Catholic Pro-Life Stance Torture

 In a novel attack on pro-life groups and nations, the United Nations has accused the Roman Catholic Church of torture for advocating against abortion.

Austin Ruse, president of the Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute (C-FAM), said Western powers for years have tried to use the UN to force a liberal social agenda on conservative nations. The Vatican has signed the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Convention Against Torture. During reports to those committees in the last 90 days, the UN tried to further press the Vatican to change its teaching.

“Committees have started trying to rewrite treaties and add new language, which they don’t have a right to do, and try to foist these new obligations on the governments that have already ratified the treaties,” Ruse said.

The children’s rights committee in February told the Vatican to change its teaching on abortion and homosexuality, including the practice of excommunicating abortionists. On May 5, the torture committee accused the Vatican of torture in both its pro-life views and its handling of child sexual abuse by priests. The committee’s theory is that by advocating against abortion, especially for women who are younger or victims of crimes, the Church is committing a form of psychological torture.

“This is a violation of freedom of religion,” Ruse said. And Archbishop Silvano Tomasi told the UN as much. Abortion itself is a form of torture, he said, accusing the United Kingdom and Canada directly for their practice of late-term abortion. Other voices have added to those remarks to create a movement. European Centre for Law and Justice Director Grégor Puppinck and other pro-life activists said 622 babies in Canada from 2000-2011—and 66 in the United Kingdom in 2005 alone—died after botched abortions resulted in live births.

Committees cannot create binding resolutions, and “don’t really have any authority,” Ruse said. The American Center for Law and Justice said the torture committee “could begin an international legal process that would cause the UN to review statements or actions by pro-life public officials.” But ultimately, the torture committee’s power is slim.

That’s a victory for the pro-life community, according to C-FAM. Yes, the UN climate chief also lectured religious groups to teach their followers to accept the UN’s climate change position. Yes, the UN used battles against HIV and AIDS to intimidate African nations into abandoning teachings on abstinence, monogamy, and fidelity.

But despite the ongoing efforts to promote abortion and twist past resolutions to manufacture rights, C-FAM said, pro-abortion activists have failed to gain traction toward a binding international right to abortion. They don’t have the enough countries on their side. “Our opponents on this issue have tried for 20 years to get an international right to abortion, and they have failed,” Ruse said. “Repeatedly.”

While their claims MAY be true about the RCC, the UN needs to mind it's own business! They have zero place to say anything to any religious group.

There are only a handful of organizations that I simply despise, and the UN is one of them.

Pretty much this is another case of the whole Hegelian Dialectic game they're playing(where there's a war of words to vain jangling and no end). So ultimately notice how nothing gets done when all is said and done(not even a slap on the wrist) - otherwise, the UN and the Vatican are one and the same(as the Popes always go to their meetings et al).
