"Many of us have long been suspicious about the reality of the United Nations, with its facade of dedication to peace, progress, and prosperity. Now a Catholic priest and scholar has torn away the mask and revealed a machine for the destruction of national sovereignties and their replacement with a New Order for a world culture based on a Satanic vision of "new rights of man." Fr. Michel Schooyans, Belgian demographer, philosopher and theologian, reveals what the United Nations truly looks like and is moving toward in The Hidden Face of the United Nations."
Fr. Schooyans identifies one desire of the UN as being "to step through the doorway reserved for consciences." A specific purpose of the "Joint Initiative of Religious" is creation of a world religion to obtain a "new planetary ethic." All proselytizing (conversion efforts) by individual religions would be prohibited. "Circles of cooperation" would disseminate the new all-embracing pantheistic religion.
Fr. Schooyans sees abortion, euthanasia, sterilization as an opening effort in this grasp for a world-wide totalitarianism. All of those practices the author sees as expressing the tendency toward erecting violence into a right, toward "the gift of death" as an expression of the sovereign will.
It is not surprising, then, that Fr. Schooyans can report, "The Christian presence disturbs the present UN, because in the domain of anthropology, this UN has rejected all reference to truth . . .
Many of these horrors are being visited on mankind with the excuse of "sustainable development" — that is, restriction on human expansion on the assertion such is harmful to planet, as if man is subject to the Earth, rather than the Earth to man."
