An
organization of
Catholics who are
lobbying the
United Nations to have the
Vatican removed from their current
status as
Nonmember State Permanent Observer, as they feel it is
inappropriate for a
church to have this state, even if they are a
tiny country-like thing.
Many of the members feel that the Vatican has too much influence by having this position, accusing it of preventing efforts at birth control around the globe, resulting in the deaths of "600,000 women", and the spread of the HIV/AIDS pandemic to up to 5.8 million people, including an incredible percentage in Africa.
Over 450 organizations worldwide have joined in the movement.
