The Pope’s June 14 address to the committee failed to mention Jesus Christ. Its only reference to God was a claim that peace is His ‘dream for humanity.’

VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews) — Pope Francis has issued a message to a special session of the United Nations Security Council convened to promote the “human fraternity” the Pontiff espouses.

In a special meeting June 14, the U.N. Security Council members met specifically to discuss “the values of human fraternity in promoting and sustaining peace,” and did so by “building on” the 2019 Abu Dhabi document on human fraternity, which Francis drew up with the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar Al Sharif, Ahmed Al-Tayeb.

Christian critics of the Pope’s concept say it is “blasphemous” and looks to “overturn” the Gospel.

Francis started by noting that the Security Council’s “mandate … to safeguard the world’s security and peace, at times seems in people’s eyes to be powerless and paralyzed.”

That’s because, dear Francis, a globalized world leads to a disunity between men.

Maybe this “Pope” just glazed over Matthew 10:34. He has me seriously questioning just where a wild bear does #2.

He’s the last pope before the anti-Christ. He’s paving the way.

We won’t know for a while. He comes as a man of peace at first, which is why he dupes so many people
