VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope Benedict called on Tuesday for a "world political authority" to manage the global economy and for more government regulation of national economies to pull the world out of the current crisis and avoid a repeat.
The pope made his call for a re-think of the way the world economy is run in a new encyclical which touched on a number of social issues but whose main connecting thread was how the current crisis has affected both rich and poor nations.
Parts of the encyclical, titled "Charity in Truth," seemed bound to upset free marketeers because of its underlying rejection of unbridled capitalism and unregulated market forces, which he said had led to "thoroughly destructive" abuse of the system.
The pope said every economic decision had a moral consequence and called for "forms of redistribution" of wealth overseen by governments to help those most affected by crises.
Benedict said "there is an urgent need of a true world political authority" whose task would be "to manage the global economy; to revive economies hit by the crisis; to avoid any deterioration of the present crisis and the greater imbalances that would result."

Yes. It’s the same with love. We can say we love someone all day long, but we need to show it with our actions.
Precisely. The very same people who brought us the present crisis, and are trying desperately to make it worse, will be the ones who will control any putative World Authority. The US Constitution means nothing, to them. The moral authority of the RCC means nothing, to them. There is exactly one authority they respect: POWER.
The Pope should know this. He should know that, at most, they will PRETEND to agree to the principles he has espoused, and then ignore them. But, by then they will have achieved complete POWER, with his imprimatur.

INDEED to the max.
Hey, Old Reggie, good to see you again here!
“To manage the global economy; to revive economies hit by the crisis; to avoid any deterioration of the present crisis and the greater imbalances that would result; to bring about integral and timely disarmament, food security and peace; to guarantee the protection of the environment and to regulate migration: for all this, there is urgent need of a true world political authority”

THESE ARE ALL
—DOCUMENTED GLOBALIST GOALS
OR
—DOCUMENTED GLOBALIST SHAM, PRETEND GOALS.
This is lock, stock and mass manipulation NWO stuff.
I don’t blame you for not sharing personal things here. I have and a couple of RC’s have been brutal toward me. I sure feel the love...LOL.
You write very convincingly.
More than a little plausible, to me.
Thanks for your insights.
God have mercy on us all.
I’ve noticed.
And the usual
SHRILL ‘ROMAN CATHOLICISM 100% ALWAYS IN 100% ALL RESPECTS’
crowd seems to be muted to silent.
Interesting.
We traced my mother in law’s family (hence my children’s) back to Roger Williams and Cotton Mather. Interesting journey.
It is a bit cheeky.
However, it’s more than cheeky for such a leader to pretend that their support of bastardized Communism married to bastardized Captialism as the NWO globalists have long been working on—essentially— it is satanic globalism . . .
Pretending that Papal support of that GROSS EVIL FROM HELLis merely seeking to help the poor in love is
bastardized logic and language no matter how one slices it.
And, personally, ANYONE supporting Satan’s global government is far worse than a bastard.
Far too plausible for comfort.
“subsidiarity”
is a VERY INADEQUATE sham of a fig-leaf.
AMEN. True peace won’t come until He returns.
INDEED.
subsidiarity
Is a VERY, VERY, VERY POOR FIG-LEAF
AT LEAST because the global government will care no more about it than they do the 6.X billion people they want to murder to reduce the population to 200 million.
It is beyond laughable that subsidiarity would benefit one poor person in the name of love or anything else with a global government in power—particularly the one already in power covertly and increasingly rapidly more overtly.
Thanks for your kind and thoughtful post.
subsidiarity
Is grossly inadequate as a principle, fig-leaf, wall, boundary, lofty ideal
MOSTLY because
the satanic world government would not HESITATE a microsecond
because of subsidiarity
to perform whatever tyranny they had already purposed to do.
It is a hollow NOTHING in the way of the global tyranny long planned by the same folks with the same goals as the Pope listed HE ADVOCATED FOR A GLOBAL AUTHORITY.
It’s utterly nonsensical to even pretend that
subsidiarity
would have limited Hitler’s Gestapo, for example—even a microsecond.
It would not have spared a single Jew from the gas chambers because Hitler would have laughed at the very idea that it should hinder him in the least.
And the looming world ruler is far worse than Hitler at Hitler’s worst.
The Pope is clueless if he does not know that.
And if he knows that and still wrote or signed such meaningless drivel—how admirable is that?
Your understanding
is a very touching and encouraging aspect of Christian Love.
Thanks more than I can put into words.
Blessings,
You didn’t fall away, you did as I did walked away. With head held high and not sneaky about it..
What is eerily similar here is that his organization has always been reliant upon their constituents accepting the concept of a world religious authority. Now...hmmmmmm.
= = =
A fitting and sobering point, I think.
LOL.
I hope you have your rubber Bible and rubber dictionary handy!
Wonderful slip and slide . . .
or is it merely practiced evasion?
Thanks for the link.
I’ll try and incorporate key parts of it when I get around (Lord Willing and the Creek don’t rise up)
to my commentary on the recent encyclical.
