Why this is important We call upon the Catholic Church, to
enact the recommendations of the United Nations Children's Rights
Commission which states as follows... The Committee is concerned about the situation of children fathered by Catholic priests, who, in many cases, are not aware of the identity of their fathers.
The Committee is also concerned that the mothers may obtain a plan for regular payment from the Church until the child is financially independent only if they sign a confidentiality agreement not to disclose any information about the child’s father or the plan.
