02/16/2004: "The U.N. and The Catholic Church"

Here's a good article on why The Church is still a big fan of the U.N. despite their very liberal policies on abortion and population control.

I think this article is a good example of what Catholics mean by Church. Do we have to be happy about everything our Church is doing? No. But what makes us "one Holy 'Universal' and Apostolic" is not our ability to be completely in sync with one another, but our ability to continue to come to the table in our differences.

In everything we have a choice: we can fight for what we have or we can abandon what we have. Sometimes abandoning is the right thing to do. An example would be an lifestyle of pornography and masturbation. But for our critical relationships in life: our marriage, our Church, our Country and our World, we must fight and to do that, we must remain in relationship.
