I believe that National Review did an extensive article on one George Soros, the mysterious leftist Canadian oil zillionaire) a few years ago and made a very good case that he was financing and organizing this scheme, that Gore was involved and even a couple of Roman Catholic Cardinals (and NOT on behalf of the Catholic Church!), that the scheme had to do with the potential for world government inherent in some sappy lowest common denominator pseudo-piety organized around "Mother Earth" that might further sap existing religions to diminish their potential resistance to UN world government schemes. Soros entertains his fellow schemers at a very large ranch in Colorado.

even a couple of Roman Catholic Cardinals (and NOT on behalf of the Catholic Church!),

BlackElk, if these cardinals are rogue operators, then why is the pope so chummy with Gorbachev, the acknowledged figurehead? Before you claim this isn't so, consider these quotes:

In U.S. News and World Report on May 18, 1992, an interesting article was published under the title "Papal Promoter." This report stated, "Pope John Paul II is promoting Mikhail Gorbachev--to be the ideal presiding officer of a United Europe."

Story below: Insight on the News, Nov 18, 1996 v12 n43 p10(2).
Title: Nourishing the soul. (political activities and social policies of Pope John Paul II)(Cover Story)
Author: David Wagner

In a New York Times op-ed published on March 9, 1992, titled "My Partner, the Pope," Gorbachev wrote:
"Now it can be said that everything that took place in Eastern Europe in recent years would have been impossible without the popes efforts and the enormous role, including the political role, he played in the world arena."
This article may have had more to do with Gorbachev's efforts to establish himself as a leader of New Age futurism than with serious Cold War historiography. (The article teems with references to spiritual content," "high spirituality," "consciousness and spirit" and "the worlds religions"; the pope is praised as a great source of energy.")

What clearer sign could we have that the policy of restructuring the Church is working than Gorbachev giving a speech at the Vatican last November------Gorby, an avowed Communist, whose forums feature occultism, who wants to eliminate 90% of the world's population, who is coordinating all the branches of the socialist new world order, and who instigated the policy of restructuring------the chief representative of the Kingdom of Satan on earth addressing the head of God's Kingdom on Earth and the world's political leaders as an honored and wise guest! Gorbachev has met with the Pope at least half a dozen times since 1989, and last year attended the unveiling of Cardinal Casaroli's memoirs.

Just in case you might be tempted to challenge the authors of my first group of quotes, I found an AP news release which basically says the same thing:

27 June 2000

VATICAN CITY (AP) - He sat between two clerics, quoted the pope and helped plug a book recounting a cardinal's battle against church repression in the Soviet bloc.

Former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev's poll ratings are sagging at home, but he has become a popular figure at the Vatican after forging a friendship with Pope John Paul II.

Gorbachev sat on a dais Tuesday along with two cardinals, the Italian foreign minister and the president of the European Union's commission to promote the book "The Martyrdom of Patience," the memoirs of Cardinal Agostino Casaroli.

Casaroli, who died in 1998, was considered an architect of the Vatican policy that helped the church survive in Eastern Europe during the Cold War.

Gorbachev called Casaroli "a great personality," recalling their meeting in Moscow to help prepare Gorbachev's historic visit to the Vatican in 1989, the first by a leader of the Soviet Communist party. Gorbachev has met with the pope at least a half dozen times since.
