Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican Secretary of State, participated on December 10 at the Marrakesh conference which agreed upon the U.N. Global Compact for Migration.
Its final draft contains 23 objectives making no distinction between illegal and legal immigrants or between economic immigrants and refugees.
The draft calls for governments to "educate" journalists, including directives on "terminology" they are to use, and "to hold ‘culinary festivals’ to celebrate multiculturalism".
The document's drawback is contained in Objective 15 that asks to incorporate the health needs of immigrants by taking into consideration the World Health Organisation's Framework of Priorities and Guiding Principles to Promote the Health of Refugees and Migrants.
This framework asks to give priority to "reproductive health services" which means access to abortion and contraception.
The Second Vatican Council calls abortion an "abominable crime" (Gaudium et Spes 51)
