Brazilian Bishop: Same-Sex Unions Pose "Serious Crisis in Civilization"

From Catholic World News:
Brazilia, Jun. 13 (FIDES/CWNews.com) - The tendency to equate homosexual unions with the natural family is a sign of a serious crisis in civilization, says the secretary-general of the Brazilian bishops' conference.

Bishop Odilo Pedro Scherer of Sao Paulo, speaking to the Fides news service, added: "Society must resist this pressure and guarantee special protection for the family based on the union of a man and a woman."

“In Brazil militant groups, well articulated and well financed, are exercising strong pressure to approve laws to legalize abortion, same-sex unions, elimination of the abnormal fetus," the bishop told Fides. "One has the impression that this is the work of transnational movements and organizations, not only local.”

"One has the impression that this is the work of transnational movements and organizations, not only local."

Why do I have a sneaking suspicion that the United Nations and its "non-governmental organizations" (aka NGOs) are playing some role in this "well articulated and well financed" effort to eviscerate traditional laws that protect the family?

My initial take to transnational movements and organizations was communists. Historically, that is how they have operated. However, your analysis could be right on. After all, the UN nothing more than a global socialist institution.

Where do you think all the communists went after the fall of the Eastern Bloc? They didn't suddenly become free market democrats. They melted into the NGOs and various other global movements like the Greens. And the UN provides them with the cover of legitimacy.

They're just like watermelons - green on the outside but red on the inside.
