NEW YORK, May 19 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute (C-fam), co-ordinating the campaign to raise support for the continued presence of the Holy See as a permanent observer at the United Nations, reports that the campaign is highly successful. In only four months over 2,000 organizations have signed the document supporting the Holy See at the UN. Catholics for a Free Choice (CFFC), the group spearheading the move to oust the Holy See, has only been able to get the backing of 498 groups despite having worked at their goal for over a year.
The support for the Holy see includes pro-life groups from differing faiths. C-fam reports that supporters include the largest Evangelical groups in the world, including Focus on the Family, and some of the most important Islamic groups as well, including the London-based al-Khoei Foundation.
Worried that its campaign is floundering and has possibly backfired, CFFC just hired Heidenpriem and Mager, a high-powered Washington DC public relations firm, to run the “See Change” campaign and to defeat the pro-Holy See resolutions being considered in the US House and Senate.
