A world government won't be 'elected.'

It will be appointed over us by our political masters/betters, whether us peons like it or not.

A world gov't will serve themselves and their cronies first, the people will be subjugated and oppressed. I know of three classes of people who are pro-socialism. 1-those who want a free ticket on the gravy train, 2-those who show compassion for the needy with other people's money (but are quite capitalistic with their own money). 3-those who know full well they will gain power and money.

So, America is the country that gets called out to be ruled by a world government? Not China? Or any other country? Just terrible, unjust America. I guess the pope never considered the possibility of an evil world government either. For some reason a world government is always paradise. Corruption, oppresion, slavery, genocide, oh no that'll never happen when the world's people all join hands.

Francis has done so many things wrong or contrary to the Church already and the beat goes on.
He already gave the Chinese commies authority over the church in China.

No organisation that starts off preaching peace and love AND charity that has a long and proudly documented history of organised terrorism in the form of the inquisition, often resulting in torture that ended with mass incineration in public could ever hope to get my vote.

Add to that the wholesale destruction of untold millions of indigenous peoples and their entire civilisations and it makes one think hard about the role played by the catholic church in the formation of the world as it is today.

Thankfully, there is push-back against this Pope:

Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò: Deep State is Working With “Deep Church” to Transform Catholic Church into Spiritual Arm of New World Order

A striking claim from a Catholic bishop.

A Catholic Archbishop who formerly served as the Vatican’s ambassador to the United States is accusing elements of the Catholic hierarchy of operating as a “deep church,” working in conjunction with the so-called American deep state

Archbishop Viganò is known as something of a conservative “dissident” within the Catholic episcopate, most notably publicly accusing Pope Francis and other senior Vatican officials of failing to act after being made aware of credible accusations of sexual abuse against now-disgraced American ex-cardinal Theodore McCarrick.


The missive can be read in full at LifeSiteNews. In the letter, Viganò speaks critically of Pope Francis, a practice that is exceptionally rare within the college of Catholic bishops, let alone on the part of an Archbishop who recently served as a prominent member of the Church’s diplomatic hierarchy. Archbishop Viganò speaks of the traditional Jesuit (a religious order in which the Pope began his clerical career) practice of declining positions of authority in the Catholic hierarchy.

Viganò pointed to what he identifies as a “Deep Church” in the letter, arguing that elements within the Catholic hierarchy are working to utilize the Catholic Church to advance a vision of global neoliberal authoritarianism. He references major Catholic bishops in the United States who seem to have at least implicitly endorsed Joe Biden- a staunchly pro-abortion Democrat.

“The United States is witnessing the highest levels and centers of cultural influence of the American Catholic Church shamelessly siding in favor of the Democratic candidate and more generally in favor of the entire apparatus that has been consolidating in recent decades within the public administration.

The Deep State, Trump’s sworn enemy, is joined by a Deep Church that spares no criticisms and accusations against the incumbent President while winking indecorously with Biden and BLM, slavishly following the narration imposed by the mainstream. It matters little that Trump is openly pro-life and defends the non-negotiable principles that the Democrats have renounced – the important thing is to transform the Catholic Church into the spiritual arm of the New World Order, so as to have an imprimatur from the highest moral authority in the world, something that was impossible with Benedict XVI.”

Senior American Catholic leaders such as Cardinal Joseph Tobin, the Archbishop of Newark, have essentially endorsed the unlimited abortion supporter.

Viganò goes on to rebuke nominally ‘Catholic’ left-wing American politicians for their support of far-left, anti-Christian political causes.

“Prodi and Gentiloni in Italy – and we would also add Premier Conte, given his origin and his education – have their counterparts on the American side in so-called Catholic personalities like Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, and Andrew Cuomo: all of them proudly support abortion and gender indoctrination, and all of them are proudly in favor of the Antifa and Black Lives Matter movements that are setting entire American cities on fire.”

Viganò also points to the “abandonment of the Chinese Catholic community” he identifies a recent agreement between the Vatican and the Communist Chinese government as, lauding Secretary of State Michael Pompeo for condemning the agreement.

“Why does the Vatican, which is silent in the face of the Democratic party’s support for abortion and the violation of the most basic human rights in China, consider the Trump Administration to have no right to interfere in an agreement that has obvious repercussions in the international political balance?”

Quite the striking language from the Archbishop. American Catholics who seek to vote in accordance with Catholic moral teaching have serious questions to ask about the Church hierarchy’s fidelity to their religion as it pertains to the public sphere.

I could just totally ignore Francis. The Papacy has an enormous credit to carry forward from John Paul II, the best Pope EVER.

But this shit bird has caused a lot more damage than Francis in my book.

"President Trump visited the Saint John Paul II National Shrine in Washington on Tuesday, June 2, prompting criticism from Catholics who demonstrated near the Catholic University of America, which is adjacent to the shrine, with some praying the rosary while holding signs reading, “Our Church is Not a Photo Op” and “Black Lives Matter.” Mr. Trump and his wife, Melania, who is Catholic, stood for several minutes in front of a large statue of Saint John Paul II before entering the building.

Archbishop Wilton Gregory, who has led the Archdiocese of Washington for just over a year, condemned the visit in a statement released on Tuesday morning before Mr. Trump’s visit.

“I find it baffling and reprehensible that any Catholic facility would allow itself to be so egregiously misused and manipulated in a fashion that violates our religious principles, which call us to defend the rights of all people even those with whom we might disagree,” the nation’s highest-ranking African-American bishop said."

Just stuff it Wilton.

For Catholics, that is the correct response. Don't sit back and take it. Go loud and strong against this particular Pope and his world govt message.

It's different in the sense that the trappings of the papacy, like those of our own Presidency are largely thrust upon the occupant of that seat. The Vatican, like the White House, is a fortress, designed to protect the occupant. Some occupants of both have seen it as a prison.

The other difference is that the wealth of the Vatican is not personal to the Pope. It belongs to the Church.

A real Pope would NOT be pushing a one world government.

That's convenient. Yes, I know, the property belongs to the church, not the pope himself. However, it is the height of hypocrisy for somebody living in the richest country on the planet (per capita) to preach to me and my country about the 'distribution of wealth.'

If he were really serious, the vatican could at least make a token gesture by selling off some of its artwork or treasure to give to the poor. Google says the vatican is worth $15 billion. Even if they would give up 10% of that, it would be $1.5 billion in charity.

Of course, they will never do that. As all socialists do, they advocate that you and I sacrifice 'for the great good,' while they jealously guard their own possessions and wealth.
