[Catholic Herald] While visiting the Vatican earlier today, Mr [Former Israeli President Shimon] Peres asked Pope Francis to head a parallel United Nations called the “United Religions” to counter religious extremism in the world today.
Peres said the United Nations and its peacekeepers “do not have the force or the effectiveness of any one of the Pope’s homilies, which can draw half a million people just in St Peter’s Square alone.”
“So given that the United Nations has run its course, what we need is an organisation of United Religions,” Mr Peres said, as “the best way to counteract these terrorists who kill in the name of their faith.”
“What we need is an unquestionable moral authority who says out loud, ‘No. God doesn’t want this and doesn’t allow it,’” he added
I can’t post pictures from work. But if I could I would post that one with palm slapping forehead.
Paging Nicolae Carpathian, white telephone courtesy phone, please.
You have got to be kidding me.
They want a government authority to speak for God??
Don’t these priests read their bibles!
The Pope running the one world religion is coming. He does have a throne. And a crown.
One world religioun group, one pagan god.
The vision of La Salette is drawing closer.
“The Pope running the one world religion is coming. He does have a throne. And a crown.”
Won’t be the pope. Muslims would never get on board.
Don't you mean rabbis? It was Shimon Peres who made the suggestion, not the pope!
“United Religions” is a fraud group very popular with Episcopalians. A close family member who was an Episcopalian in a very Piskey part of the world (San Francisco) was dragged off to one of these meetings. The main pitch was to get the elderly to leave all their money to “United Religions,” which seemed in the long run to be sort of a Muslim version of Unitarianism, since it featured Islam heavily as a pattern. Most SF Episcopalians are not Trinitarian Christians, but more on the order of better dressed Unitarians, so this appealed to a lot of them.
Thank God this family member had the good sense to ask other people in the family what they knew about the group, which wanted to sign her up for some huge donation and a bequest on the very first meeting. But some elderly people won’t think twice, alas.
This is a very dangerous organization.
Please note that it was Shimon Peres who made this suggestion. Last time I checked, he wasn't Catholic.
Oh, and if you read the linked Catholic Herald piece, you'll note that the Pope didn't buy into the idea.
Just saying.
“So given that the United Nations has run its course, what we need is an organisation of United Religions,” Mr Peres said, as “the best way to counteract these terrorists who kill in the name of their faith.”
“What we need is an unquestionable moral authority who says out loud, ‘No. God doesn’t want this and doesn’t allow it,’” he added.
This can't end well.
According to Daniel (11:40-43) a united Europe led by Germany will wipe out the muzzies. They have one last Crusade in them. Led by the Church. Again.
The Pope has been reaching out to the Orthodox Catholics and Protestants. This may or may not come to pass. Time will tell.
I belong to the First Church of Beer, and we always have our dogma with foam on top.
A little more than one-quarter of it in a three-year period!
The bible calls the leader of that group “the false prophet”, this is going to happen because it is written!
