Pope Benedict to NGO's: Promote Catholic Social Doctrine to Further Human Rights

A few days after the U.N. voted to pay 11 million dollars to the radically pro-abortion CEDAW committee, Pope Benedict spoke to non-governmental organizations (NGO's) and instructed them that the international discussions are often ruled by relativistic thinking. This faulty logic produces, "certain self-centered lifestyles; a lack of concern for the economic and social needs of the poorer nations; contempt for humanitarian law, and a selective defense of human rights."

The answer, he said, is the promote, "the great truths about man's innate dignity and the rights which are derived from that dignity" and these are contained in Catholic social teaching.
