ROME - Catholic bishops across Europe encouraged their faithful to go to the polls in late May to elect members of the European Parliament who would promote unity and take seriously the power of the European Union to do good in the world.
Citizens of the 28 countries of the European Union were set to go to the polls May 23-26 to elect more than 700 members to serve five-year terms in the European Parliament.
In the lead up to the voting, Catholic bishops warned of the spread of forms of nationalism and populism that could weaken the EU and the ability of the 28 nations to work together to promote development and to find a shared humanitarian response to the ongoing migration phenomenon.
Archbishop Jean-Claude Hollerich of Luxembourg, president of the Commission of the Bishops Conferences of the European Union, told Avvenire, the newspaper of the Italian bishops conference, that U.S. strategist Steve Bannon, who has been consulting with European politicians, Russian strategist Aleksandr Dugin and others like them are priests of a populism that essentially negates the essence of Western theology: Love of God and love for ones neighbor.
Nationalistic populism, the archbishop said, does not create free communities, but groups who repeat the same slogans and generate new forms of uniformity, which is the precursor of totalitarianism.

Ah but what kind of totalitarianism might globalist populism create?
Since when did nationalism become a dirty word? From the Pope on down the socialist perspective is judged superior. And what makes them think that a dominant EU is somehow going to be better for the poor of Europe? Under socialism you will still have a political elite with everyone else equally miserable.
"It's the Bishop!"
The roman church would do well just to shut its mouth
The Catholic Church has gone full leftist.
All that subsidiarity stuff is out the window then.
So much for Rerum Novarum and Quadragesimo Anno.
They will have to bring up a platoon of Jesuits to reconcile everything.
Is Rome beginning, or continuing, to align itself with a One World government?
“the power of the European Union to do good in the world”
By importing millions more third worlders? Replacing their own populations? Further restrictions on free speech?
Whoever is pushing this further insanity by the EU needs to get off the dope they are smoking.
"Because that is the F.A.G. Way!"
Catholic bishops! Is there anything they don’t know?
artical states:
“Catholic bishops warned of the spread of forms of nationalism and populism that could weaken the EU and the ability of the 28 nations to work together”....
These Bishops don’t read their Bibles....they wrongfully think that God is for a border less world. He is not! It follows from Genesis 11 that nations, by Gods design, are to have different languages, cultures, and boundaries.
This “unity” push is straight out of the pits of hell!
Yes, they don't know the Catholic faith.
In a nutshell, this “Spirit of the Anti-Christ” Bishop is stating that anyone who opposes one-world government is a Nazi.
