                                   Efforts at legalization of pedophilia

Dear Sir,

the mass media have carried information relating to the UN and Your person: The UN Commission on Population and Development is considering “sexual and reproductive health and rights” for children as young as ten.

Instead of using the powers of the UN for the protection of children and promotion of moral legislation, which both Europe and America were founded on, You, Sir, consent to this demoralization. You said recently: “Young people, as much as all people, share the human right to health, including sexual and reproductive health.” Sir, this “right” includes children’s access to contraception and abortion! The purpose of this “right” is to limit the participation of parents in protecting children. Individual states will then be invited to support Your demoralizing policy.

If the UN promotes demoralization of children and youth, it must be clearly said that these are crimes against humanity and crimes against children and parents with the aim of reduction - genocide of mankind. To demoralize ten-year-old children and deprive them of conscience and parental protection means to destroy children, family and society. But what is worst, it is not only the question of demoralization and demonization but of the eternity of millions of souls that will be eternally condemned!

The Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate, on behalf of all true Christians, categorically protests against the criminal activities of the UN. It calls on all governments around the world to break with this criminal organization, not let themselves be manipulated by it and call it by its proper name. It also calls for the unmasking of those who inspire these criminal initiatives.

We warn against demagogic manipulation of concepts and terms under which lie the most serious crimes. An example is “sexual and reproductive health and rights for children as young as ten”. In essence, this means legalization of pedophilia!
