Thanks to Mari for sending this link. Although I do not usually post items of this nature, I sense it is a strong indicator that these folks (namely, "the Vatican") are in a heap of Apocalypse (Un-Veiling... maybe, in this article, call it "U.N.-veiling"). Much of the dark activities within the Catholic Church (and other churches) are now being brought to light. Also, some may want to check ITCCS.org for more about this type of abuse disclosure.
Apparently this came out just a few hours ago.

In a devastating report hailed by abuse victims, the U.N. committee severely criticized the Holy See for its attitudes toward homosexuality, contraception and abortion and said it should change its own canon law to ensure children's rights and their access to health care are guaranteed.
The Vatican promptly objected and its U.N. ambassador accused the committee of having betrayed the international body's own objectives by allowing itself to be swayed by pro-gay ideologues. He said it appeared the committee simply hadn't listened when the Holy See outlined all the measures it has taken to protect children.
The report, which took the Vatican by surprise in its harsh tone, puts renewed pressure on Pope Francis to move decisively on the abuse front and make good on pledges to create a Vatican commission to study sex abuse and recommend best practices to fight it. The commission was announced in December, but few details have been released since then.
