Pope Francis called for “a one world government” and “political authority” this week, arguing that the creation of the one world government is needed to combat major issues such as “climate change.” Speaking with Ecuador’s “El Universo” newspaper, the Pope said that the United Nations doesnt have enough power and must be granted full governmental control “for the good of humanity.”
But what is raising eyebrows is the Pope’s call for a new global political authority. Here is more from the Guardian:
Pope Francis will this week call for changes in lifestyles and energy consumption to avert the “unprecedented destruction of the ecosystem” before the end of this century, according to a leaked draft of a papal encyclical. In a document released by an Italian magazine on Monday, the pontiff will warn that failure to act would have “grave consequences for all of us”.
Francis also called for a new global political authority tasked with “tackling … the reduction of pollution and the development of poor countries and regions”. His appeal echoed that of his predecessor, pope Benedict XVI, who in a 2009 encyclical proposed a kind of super-UN to deal with the world’s economic problems and injustices.
The word “globalization” means exactly what it says. It is the process of transitioning the world into a global government. Religious leaders are playing their part in this great deception.
David Rockefeller famously said that a “global crisis” would have to occur before the people of the world would be willing to accept a New World Order. When the world economy suffered a dramatic crash in 2008, world leaders again proclaimed the need for a New World Order with global financial control. As demonstrated by Pope Francis, climate change and the global warming hoax is now the global elite’s preferred method of scaremongering, as they attempt to shepherd humanity closer to unified totalitarian rule.
Disturbingly, world religious leaders are also beginning to come together as one to preach from the same hymn sheet, instructing their sheep to accept the components of the New World Order’s one world government.
In case you missed it, world leaders from a diverse collection of religious communities called for world unity in a video message released last week.
The call for a world government, led by Pope Francis, Ayatollah Al-Milani, the Dalai Lama and Rabbi Abraham Skorka, is seen as a major step on the road to the New World Order that was prophesied over 2,000 years ago.
How long was this prize-of-a-pope confined to a Cracker Jack box before it was picked off the shelf?
>> I know that in my own non-Catholic experience, pastors and congregations are supposed to work together to keep each other in line on the words of God. But apparently there’s no such check or balance in Rome, far as I can tell.
Actually your understanding of the matter is a bit backward. It is historical fact that the segment of Christianity generally referred to as Protestant has been dividing into countless distinct denominations teaching their own biblical interpretations ever since the Reformation. The Catholic and the Orthodox segments of Christianity on the other hand adhere to the doctrines of the faith based on the scriptural teachings of the holy apostles and ordained fathers of first centuries of the Church. That is why people who equate the current Pope (or anti-Pope) with the Catholic Church itself or with the Catholic Faith, are in error. In other words, the Pope, a sinner like everyone else, must adhere to the doctrines of the faith. And if he does not, he thereby reveals that he is not only a sinner but possibly a heretic.
>> Never thought I’d live to see the persecution of Christians & the apostasy in the church. Just WOW.
What? The persecution of Christians and apostasy in the Church has been ongoing since the time of the Apostles! Are you a recent convert?
The Protestants are just honest about it. There are as many divisions in the Roman church as evidenced by the RC posters here. Many post different points of view and insist that represents the doctrine of their church. And like it or not the likes of Nancy Pelosi and homosexual supporting bishops are still in good graces in your church Those would cause (and have caused) splits in Protestant churches
>>The Catholic Church best get to work and rid itself of this LIEberal idiot!
Not to worry. The RCC is now comprised of more faithful adherents than at any time in history, and it has endured horrendous persecution and faux popes off and on for 17 centuries. Francis, and everyone else now breathing, will be long gone and the Church will still be doing what Christ established it to do. Count on it!
>>Liturgical chrstians always invoke the Torah to justify their own very much not-Torah rituals, but they’re against the Torah rituals every bit as much as any Protestant is against church rituals.
One ought not overlook the fact that those “liturgical Christians” were in the business of converting heathens to Christianity for about 12 Centuries before Luther soiled his first diaper.
>>I would think that a corrupted church authority teaching falsehood would be worse than multiple denominations
The primary reason there are multiple denominations is because of differing interpretations of the Scriptures, all of which cannot be correct, especially those that directly contradict one another. As to the teaching of falsehood, any church authority including the Pope who teaches falsehood, i.e., something that is contrary to the scripture-based doctrines of the faith, is by that very act, if knowingly done, guilty of teaching heresy. Does that happen? Of course it happens. Why? Because there are evil, sinful people in positions of leadership in every church and every other organization. NO ANGELS SO FAR AS WE KNOW!
>>You guys will have no place to go, unless you go with them...
I’m not going to argue or debate about what may or may not happen in the future because it’s a fruitless exercise. Maybe your prediction will prove to be true. I do know this for sure concerning the future. Soon you and I will both have gone to our eternal reward (or punishment), and whatever is the Lord’s will here on Earth, it will be done, so there is really nothing to worry about.
>>I still belong to the pre- Vatican II Church and will continue. Nothing this jerk could say or do would disabuse me of that loyalty.
Likewise. Are you able to attend the Tridentine Mass? I did until I moved from the D.C. area. Now the closest one is in Pittsburgh which is a 110 miles from my home.
>>You taught, “Even Paul said he was working out his salvation in fear and trembling lest he lose his salvation.” Um, that is not what Paul wrote, but it was close so most will not catch the error.
So here we go with interpretation. Tell me what Paul wrote, from which version of the Bible you’re quoting, and how you (or your church) prefers to interpret that particular Scripture.
>> Of course I read the Bible.
So do countless other people with countless interpretations that contradict your own. Are you familiar with the verse that tells about the Ethiopian sitting on his camel who was questioned about his knowledge of the faith? Look it up and interpret it for me.
>>How long was this prize-of-a-pope confined to a Cracker Jack box before it was picked off the shelf?
LMAO! And I’m a traditional RC!
Well, Pope Francis has GOT to be removed. He is doing great harm to the Church!

Ah, you’re mixing apples and oranges here. It would be a miracle indeed if all Catholics fully understood, accurately expressed, and faithfully adhered to the truths of the Faith! The Church, Christianity, and indeed the entire human race is comprised of SINNERS - NO ANGELS! If that were NOT the case there would have been no need for a Savior. And casting out sinners is contrary to a primary teaching of Jesus as he was dying on the cross for our salvation: “Father forgive them for they know not what they do.”
I posted the passage more fully than your mistaken characterization. Readers don’t need any further to see what Paul actually said.
You can bet he has...You can also bet that his agenda is not the agenda of the church of the scriptures...
>>I posted the passage more fully than your mistaken characterization. Readers don’t need any further to see what Paul actually said.
So, tell me what he said, and specifically why he said he was in “fear and trembling”?
Francis has an 85% favorability rating among American Catholics...It sounds like he DOES have an organization...And apparently they will follow him right into the abyss...
Making a strong pitch to be the false prophet isn't he?
That's true...Convert or die was the mantra of the Catholic faithful...And many chose to die rather than be forced to join your religion...
