Vatican enlists ‘secular Jewish feminist’ Naomi Klein in environmental fight
Vatican II "Social Justice" = Marxism
By: Rosie Scammell
VATICAN CITY (RNS) Anti-capitalism activist Naomi Klein on Wednesday (July 1) praised Pope Francis for standing up to Republicans who are warring against environmentalists, as the Vatican continues its battle against climate change with a high-level conference at the Holy See.
“I do believe that given the attacks that are coming from the Republican Party and fossil fuel interests in the U.S. it was a particularly courageous decision to invite me here,” Klein, who lives in Canada, told journalists at the Vatican. “It indicates that the Holy See is not being intimidated and knows that when you say powerful truths, you make some powerful enemies.”
A high-profile campaigner who identifies herself as “a secular Jewish feminist,” Klein arrived at the Vatican on Wednesday ahead of a two-day climate change conference. The “People and Planet First” meeting brings together top Vatican officials and laypeople, including scientists and civil society activists, to discuss the pope’s environmental encyclical released in June.
Klein’s comments on Republicans follow the release last month of a Pew Research survey that found that of 51 percent of Republican Catholics who believe the Earth is warming, only 24 percent believe it is caused by human activity. Comparatively, 85 percent of Catholic Democrats believe in global warming and 62 percent of those said it’s a man-made problem.
But climate change denial could change with the pope’s September visit to the U.S., during which he will address Congress, Klein said: “This could mean real trouble for American politicians who are counting on using the Bible as cover for their opposition to climate action.”
While she has joined forces with the Vatican to push the message of the pontiff’s encyclical, which criticizes the global financial system and self-serving Western politicians, some Catholics have raised concerns over the involvement of laypeople who do not share the church’s beliefs.
Klein said it may seem like a “surprising alliance” but that her involvement would have no effect on the Catholic Church’s broader teachings. “This is an alliance of a specific issue, it’s not a merger, and nobody’s being asked to agree on anything. Nor do we agree on everything related to climate change, but when you are faced with a crisis of this magnitude, people have to get out of their comfort zones.”
She was speaking alongside Ottmar Edenhofer, a German economist and co-chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, who described the current environmental situation as “one of the biggest global crises of our time.”
He criticized those who deny the seriousness of climate change for their own gain, and he threw his support behind the pontiff’s message.
The encyclical “asks for a fundamental departure from the business-as-usual scenario,” Edenhofer said.
“From this perspective, the encyclical is quite clear that the denial of climate change is no longer a quest of scientific truth but it is an effort to protect private interests against those of the common good,” he said.
Such frustration with the world’s capitalist kingpins was repeated by Flaminia Giovanelli, undersecretary of the Vatican’s Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace.
Speaking on behalf of the council’s president, Cardinal Peter Turkson, she outlined an appeal to political leaders globally: “The political dimension needs to re-establish democratic control over the economy and finance, that is, over the basic choices made by human societies.”

Vatican Representative Endorses UN Sustainable Development Goals, “Verbatim”
Sustainable Development Goals Include Abortion and Contraception
On 22 June, just four days after Pope Francis promulgated the encyclical on the environment, Archbishop Bernardito Auza, Apostolic Nuncio and Permanent Observer of the Holy See to the United Nations gave a formal statement to the United Nations on the “Zero Draft, Post-2015 Development Agenda.” As an Apostolic Nuncio, the Archbishop represents Pope Francis himself and, in effect, is speaking on his behalf. In his statement he said:
“We support the verbatim inclusion of the sustainable development goals and targets as in the Report of the OWG (Open Working Group).” (emphasis added) Toward the end of the statement, the Archbishop added, “We would strongly encourage the use and coordination of all sources of financing to achieve the SDGs and development in general.”The Lepanto Institute, in coordination with several other organizations, has reached out to Archbishop Auza for clarification. After a week, there has been no response. The Vatican ‘s new nuncio to the UN may not realize that the SDGs as written will most definitely lead to an expansion of abortion and contraception promotion in the developing world, however the Archbishop’s statement will make it easier for the UN to implement this program according to its own agenda.
Archbishop Auza’s statement doesn’t merely provide support for the Sustainable Development Goals , it’s an endorsement of every single word of the SDGs in their current written form! And written very clearly into the Sustainable Development Goals, in the very report referenced by Archbishop Auza, is the inclusion of “sexual and reproductive rights,” “sexual and reproductive health services,” and “family planning services.” Here is what the Zero Draft report of the Open Working Group on the Sustainable Development Goals says.
Paragraph 23, under the heading “The New Agenda”:
“To extend life expectancy for all, we
must achieve universal health No one must be left behind. We commit to
accelerating the progress made to date in reducing infant, child and
maternal mortality by ending all preventable deaths of infants, children
and expectant mothers by 2030. We
shall ensure universal access to sexual and reproductive health care
services, including for family planning, information and education. We will equally accelerate the pace of progress made in fighting malaria, HIVIAIDS,
tuberculosis and other communicable diseases and epidemics. At the same
time we shall devote greater effort to tackling non-communicable
diseases.” (emphasis added)
Goal Three of the Sustainable Development Goals, according to the Zero Draft report, had the noble-sounding objective of “Ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all at all ages.” However, one of the objectives listed for achieving this goal is, “By 2030, ensure universal access to sexual and reproductive health-care services, including for family planning, infonnation (sic) and education, and the integration of reproductive health into national strategies and programmes.”
Goal five is even worse. The stated goal is to “achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls,” and the last listed objective under this goal is to “ensure universal access to sexual and reproductive health and reproductive rights as agreed in accordance with the Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development and the Beijing Platform for Action.”
The key to understanding this is knowing what was agreed upon in the “Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development” and the “Beijing Platform for Action.” Bear in mind that the Archbishop representing Pope Francis at the United Nations said that “We support the verbatim inclusion of the sustainable development goals and targets as in the Report of the OWG.”
The Programme of Action adopted at the International Conference on Population and Development makes abundantly clear that “reproductive health” means all forms of contraception and “safe, legal abortions.” Paragraph 7.6 defined what is meant by reproductive health, indicating that in addition to the provision of “family planning services” and sex education, reproductive health also means providing referrals for “family planning services.” It also says that reproductive health includes abortion, as specified in paragraph 8.25.
Paragraph 8.25 is quite clear. While abortion is not to be suggested as a form of “family planning,” it specifies that expanded access to family planning services must be given the highest priority in preventing “unwanted pregnancies.” Furthermore, this section does not prohibit abortion as an action of “sexual and reproductive health,” saying that “in circumstances where abortion is not against the law, such abortions should be safe.”
All of this goes back to the Sustainable Development Goals with regard to the definition of “reproductive health.” There can be no doubt that the terms “sexual and reproductive health”mean the full range of contraceptives including abortifacients, and safe abortions. The Zero Draft of the Sustainable Development Goals also indicated that the Beijing Platform for Action is another document helping to define reproductive health. Paragraph 94 of the Beijing Platform for Action reads like a Planned Parenthood brochure:
94.
Reproductive health is a state of complete physical, mental and social
well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity, in all
matters relating to the reproductive system and to its functions and
processes. Reproductive
health therefore implies that people are able to have a satisfying and
safe sex life and that they have the capability to reproduce and the
freedom to decide if, when and how often to do so. Implicit in this last condition are the right of men and women to be informed and to have
access to safe, effective, affordable and acceptable methods of family
planning of their choice, as well as other methods of their choice for
regulation of fertility which are not against the law,
and the right of access to appropriate health-care services that will
enable women to go safely through pregnancy and childbirth and provide
couples with the best chance of having a healthy infant. In line with
the above definition of reproductive health, reproductive health care is
defined as the constellation of methods, techniques and services that
contribute to reproductive health and well-being by preventing and
solving reproductive health problems. It also includes sexual health,
the purpose of which is the enhancement of life and personal relations,
and not merely counselling and care related to reproduction and sexually
transmitted diseases.
Conclusion
Very clearly, the prediction made by the Lepanto Institute is indeed being fulfilled. The scary thing is that the Vatican’s support for the Sustainable Development Goals is unqualified and includes the UN’s language that indicates contraception as a form of population control.
The Apostolic Nuncio and Permanent Observer of the Holy See at the United Nations, Archbishop Bernardito Auza gave complete, unreserved, and unrestricted support and endorsement of the Sustainable Development Goals AS WRITTEN. He said, “We support the verbatim inclusion of the sustainable development goals and targets as in the Report of the OWG.” As it has been demonstrated, the Sustainable Development Goals, as written, include unrestricted access to the full range of contraception, including abortifacients, and “safe abortion.”
There are only four possibilities regarding this situation:
- Either he didn’t read the full document, and accepted someone’s summary of it
- He was handed a document OTHER than the one published on the web
- He doesn’t know how “reproductive health” is defined by the UN documents cited, or
- (God Forbid!) the Archbishop believes it is important to adopt all aspects of the Sustainable Development Goals, including access to contraception and “safe abortion.”
We must all pray and fast for Archbishop Auza and for Pope Francis.
In the mean time, contact the Archbishop and respectfully and urgently ask him not to support the Sustainable Development Goals.
