Life site has analysis of the Vatican’s recent intervention on the third committee that we were following closely last Tuesday:

“At United Nations headquarters Tuesday, Vatican representative Fr. Philip Bené reiterated the long-held position of the Holy See against the use of condoms, even for AIDS prevention. While the position has had some accuse the Pope of ‘crimes against humanity’ and been ridiculed by the mainstream press and political leaders, the Catholic Church has nevertheless refused to be cowed by the criticism.”

This is yet another clear sign of how closely the Holy See’s work a the UN is linked to the Holy Father’s work abroad. I can personally attest to the importance of their delegation in keeping the UN honest. Unlike any other single delegation at the UN, the Holy See’s staff are truly adept in the art of encouraging their peers to go to the heart of what is truly at stake in every issue.
