The Catholic Church and the New World Order

I thought that I would never see the day when the Catholic Church, or any other extended order in the word would push for a one world government

In the October 28, 2011 edition of the Southern California Tidings, a Vatican published a paper entitled "Toward Reforming the International Financial and Monetary Systems in the Context of Global Public Authority."

The document lists the popes and encyclicals which have called for greater unitary authority in the world, which would "transcend national interests." Like many levelers in world history, disdainful of hierarchy to appeal and later subjugate the masses, the Catholic Church has warred against inequality between rich and poor. Social justice, masquerading as "Communism lite" would seek to eliminate these differences, instituting a world economic system to ensure fairness and good dealings in trade relations.

Sounds a lot like "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need." Yet it was a rabid, raving atheist, Karl Marx, who promulgated his statement and its accompanying ideology, which has been transformed in the 20th Century from enforced charity to "A boot in your face, forever."

To promote equality, one must enforce it. To enforce it, one must subjugate others by force. Human ambition knows no bounds, in which

According to classical liberal economists like Adam Smith and the Austrian School, there already is a "global authority" regulating markets. For Smith, it was "the Invisible Hand"; for Mises and his Austrian colleagues, it was "the spontaneous, extended order," which Economist Friedrich Hayek admitted would most easily ally itself with a deep understanding of God or the Divine in human existence.

In effect, God himself is the greatest purveyor of the marketplace. He told the Israelites:

"But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day." (Deuteronomy 8:18)

Not only does he establish the power, but the provision and the purpose for his creation to become wealthy.

In the New Testament, Paul the apostle spoke often of the riches associated with following Christ:

"O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!" (Romans 11:33)

And

"Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;" (Ephesians 3:8)

Paul states the fact of the matter up from to all believers:

"Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;" (1 Corinthians 3:22)

It is God who bestows all good things (cf James 1:17), it is good who prospers us (2 Chronicles 26:5; Acts 13:17;), who blesses us (Deuteronomy 16:10; The Beatitudes of Matthew; Hebrews 6:7;) The world does not need a new world order, but rather must respect the King of Kings, the Rule of the Universe, the Alpha and the Omega.

Still, the Vatican asserts that a super-national organization would only act "on the principle of subsidiary," assisting nations only in time of need, but nothing more. Who makes these decisions, though? What constitutes need? And when have we eve witnessed unfettered aid delivered to a nation as able to bring a nation out of poverty. International handouts enable dependence and poverty, not their opposite.

Furthermore, "the authority should transcend special interests." What exactly does that mean? Is not the Catholic Church in itself a growing special interest? Even the very notion of assisting states which lack the basic resources to function and feed their people is moved by an interest, and ideology that permits any organization to impose itself in the complexities of the marketplace.

"A public authority with universal jurisdiction" is a power that will edge out nation-states. What will even permit this power to make the necessary moves to provide sustenance to bastions around the world. It will require force to move these goods; what's to stop the same force from replacing civil authorities on a temporary or even permanent basis?

All of this charitable plotting has in its aim one goal: a one world government, which is sign of the end times, the final days prophesied in Revelation.

Rather than celebrating the like minded "kindness" of Vatican officials, the world at large, including civil authorities, ought to raise the alarm, for the Catholic Church is urging, if not spearheading, the institution of a New World Order, one that will impress equality on everyone at the expense of natural right and individual liberty, attempting to replace the rule of God by the rule of Organization, all of which is centered in man-centered will-worship and subtle tyranny.
