CHILEAN BISHOPS PROTEST PROPOSAL TO RATIFY UN DOCUMENT – SENATE DELAYS MEASURE C-fam reports that the government of Chile recently postponed a senate vote on the UN’s controversial Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), for fear that the senate would defeat its ratification. Jorge Reyes, a constitutional lawyer working for the senate, told the Friday Fax that a broad-based “civil, political, and religious movement” opposes ratification of the Optional Protocol because it would undermine Chile’s national sovereignty. The Cardinal of Santiago, Francisco Javier Errázuriz, likened the document to a form of “cultural colonialism.” https://www.ewtn.com/vnews/getstory.asp?number=23153
