UN Official Wants The Pope Arrested

The anti-Catholic hate campaign has reached new highs:
(NEW YORK – C-FAM) In London last Friday, a high ranking United Nations (UN) jurist called on the British government to detain Pope Benedict XVI during his upcoming visit to Britain, and send him to trial in the International Criminal Court (ICC) for “crimes against humanity.”

Geoffrey Robertson touted his status as a UN judge in an article he published last week claiming that jurists should invoke the same procedures that have been used to indict war criminals such as Slobodan Milosevic. To try the Pope as head of the Roman Catholic Church who is ultimately responsible for sexual abuse of children by Catholic priests.
...
Another human rights lawyer told the Friday Fax that the article could be part of a broader campaign. Robertson has long campaigned to strip the Holy See of its permanent observer status at the UN, and has publicly referred to the Holy See “the world’s largest NGO.”
That explains it. Obviously it's not the abuse that concerns G.Robertson and his fellow anti-Catholic bigots. They know that the accusations against the Pope are so ridiculous that they won't withstand even in this self-proclaimed mondialist Star Chamber which Robertson has the dishonor to represent. But if they keep repeating those lies - that may contribute to their efforts to discredit and marginalize the Catholic Church:
Practically speaking, this marginalization will mean that the Pope will not be welcome in certain countries as the political pressure to exclude him, based on the lies and distortions like the one we have seen with the New York Times article, will mount exponentially. They’ve already tried at the U.N. The Catholic Church has been the opposing force for decades in scuttling the Western nations’ frantic attempts to get abortion included in the language of “reproductive rights”. With the Catholic Church out of the way, so many roads become unobstructed for the brave new world and socialist utopia of the population controllers.

It will be a collaborative effort, beginning with a few of the more anti-Catholic countries in Europe. If the Pope is able to visit these countries, it will be merely as a pastoral visit and not as a head of state. But this will be practically impossible to do in any case.

The shepherd will be struck and the sheep will scatter. Once our Shepherd has been isolated among many of the western nations, the persecution of the Church in these countries will then grow exponentially. The Church will lose many of its benefits and even rights. In some cases, the Church will be driven underground, with Catholics unable to worship in public. After the institutional church is attacked, individual Catholics will be targeted. This attack will be concurrent with the attack on other Christian churches and communities as well, to the extent that they refuse to abandon traditional moral principles.

That is why Catholics need to understand clearly what is at stake with the new anti-Catholic bigotry. It’s nothing less than our right to worship and to be free from discrimination and persecution.
The Pope knew this was coming. But he still needs our support. The Knights of Columbus invite everybody to join a novena prayer for the Pope. Please consider sacrificing a few minutes of your time to pray for Our Holy Father.
