“This isn’t too surprising for the Vatican, if one studies the eschatology of Roman Catholicism.”

Eschatology? That word concerns the affairs of life after death. I’m not sure what you think it means.

“The RCC firmly believes God has appointed the RCC as His Body on earth to rule His Creation.”

No. The Catholic church believes that God chose Peter to be the head of His church here on earth, and gave Peter the command to spread the word of Christ amongst men. They also believe that there is an unbroken line of priests from Peter to now, where the current head of the Church, is of this line, ie, the Pope.

The Church teaches nothing about dominion over all the earth, except that it will be the province of Christ when he returns.

“Catholic perspective that they have the moral imperative to direct where the wealth should go anyways, by Divine mandate issued through the Church.”

Except that the Church doesn’t believe this and gaging the Church by liberation theologists, is no different than gaging Protestants by Mormon theology. Liberation theology is heretical and condemned by the Church.

I’m not sure where you are getting this, but you are very wrong about what the Church believes.

Eschatology deals with things to come, not life after the first death.

Yes, Catholicism firmly believes Christ bequeathed the authority to bind and loose via Peter and that they ultimately and exclusively have such authority today.

Indeed they seek to remain obedient to other commands, such as the Great Commission, but when one fails to place faith alone in Christ alone, the object of their thinking corrupts their ability to work through faith in Him.
