We are not wrong in depicting the present Pope as a full-on communist. First up is his most recent criticism of populism, which as a globalist creature of the New World Order, he naturally opposes. He depicts populism as “political paternalism,” which is a joke considering that his fellow globalist communists are working to take away most basic freedoms, as we have already seen with the Covid plandemic, another big thing with him, for his Covid Communist Chinese New World Order definitely is based upon the Great Reset. His following remarks more accurately describe globalism, rather than populism, which aims to empower those who have been dispossessed. Pure ideology.
“Pope Francis criticized populism as “political paternalism” Thursday, asserting it deprives the people of self-rule.
Populism — consciously or unconsciously — follows the inspiration of the motto: “Everything for the people, nothing with the people,” or “political paternalism,” the pope declared in a video message transmitted to participants in an international conference on “A Politics Rooted in the People.”
“Hence, in the populist vision, the people are not the agents of their own destiny, but end up being indebted to an ideology,” the pontiff said.
The “true response to the boom of populism is not precisely more individualism but its opposite: a politics of brotherhood, rooted in the life of the people,” he added.
“When the people are discarded, they are deprived not only of material well-being but also of the dignity of acting, of being the agent of their history, of their destiny, of expressing themselves with their values and culture, of their creativity, of their fruitfulness,” he insisted.
A policy that ignores the poor “can never promote the common good,” Francis said. “A politics that ignores the peripheries will never understand the center and will confuse the future with projecting itself through a mirror.”
“One way to ignore the poor is to despise their culture, their spiritual values, their religious values, either by discarding them or exploiting them for the purpose of power,” he continued. “Contempt for popular culture is the beginning of the abuse of power.”
The pope’s rejection of populist nationalism is united to his belief that the world can only move forward by adopting a multilateral system of governance.
Our own days seem to be showing “signs of a certain regression,” the pope wrote in his 2020 encyclical letter titled Fratelli Tutti (Brothers All). “Ancient conflicts thought long buried are breaking out anew, while instances of a myopic, extremist, resentful, and aggressive nationalism are on the rise.”
“In some countries, a concept of popular and national unity influenced by various ideologies is creating new forms of selfishness and a loss of the social sense under the guise of defending national interests,” the pontiff wrote in the letter.
As he has done on other occasions, Francis associated renewed nationalist sentiment to xenophobia, narrow-mindedness, and selfishness.
There are those “who appear to feel encouraged or at least permitted by their faith to support varieties of narrow and violent nationalism, xenophobia and contempt, and even the mistreatment of those who are different,” the pope said. “Faith, and the humanism it inspires, must maintain a critical sense in the face of these tendencies, and prompt an immediate response whenever they rear their head.”
Narrow forms of nationalism are an extreme expression of an inability to grasp the meaning of… gratuitousness,” Francis wrote. “They err in thinking that they can develop on their own, heedless of the ruin of others, that by closing their doors to others they will be better protected.”
“Sadly, politics today often takes forms that hinder progress towards a different world,” namely, populism.
The attempt to see populism as a key for interpreting social reality is “problematic,” Francis asserted, because it “disregards the legitimate meaning of the word ‘people,’” which necessarily entails “communitarian aspirations” and “shared goals that transcend their differences.”
The promotion of “popular” leaders “can degenerate into an unhealthy ‘populism’ when individuals are able to exploit politically a people’s culture, under whatever ideological banner, for their own personal advantage or continuing grip on power,” he said. “Or when, at other times, they seek popularity by appealing to the basest and most selfish inclinations of certain sectors of the population.”
In 2018, the pope had harsher words still, insisting that populism is born of hate.
“It is important for young people to know how populism is born,” the pope said. “I think of Hitler in the last century, who had promised development for Germany. They should know how populisms begin: by sowing hate. You can’t live sowing hate.”
Increased efforts are needed to teach the young about the history of the First and Second World Wars “so they do not fall into the same error and so they know how populism spreads,” he said.”
Fine words, but behind them is the Pope’s alternative to nationalism, which is communism, totally inconsistent with Christianity.
“Only a few days after Pope Francis pushed for “the regeneration of existing institutions “and “global governance” because we are “in debt to nature itself, as well as the people and countries affected by human-induced ecological degradation and biodiversity loss.”
Here we go again with more leftist propaganda for the Great anti-Christian Reset by the Jesuit Pope.
Pope Francis left the Vatican this morning to celebrate Mass in the nearby church of the Holy Spirit in Sassia in the center of Rome where a group of prisoners and inmates were also present at the celebration as well as some so-called “refugees” from the Middle East.
So this was the ideal stage for a Communist/Globalist stunt by the Communist Pope.
During the Mass Pope Francis commented on Acts 4:32 that says: “All the believers were one in heart and mind.
No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had.”
In a statement that promotes Communism Bergoglio stated to a rather puzzled congregation that sharing ownership “is not communism, but it is pure Christianity.”
The Pope obviously stated this not for the love for the Gospels or Jesus Christ’s way of life, but in preparation of the infamous ”Great Reset” announced last year by the World Economic Forum (WEF) and Klaus Schwab, who founded the WEF in 1971.
The projections of the WEF’s “Global Future Councils,” state that people would have to rent and borrow their necessities from the state, which would be the sole proprietor of all goods.
The supply of goods would be rationed in line with a social credit points system.
Shopping in the traditional sense would disappear along with the private purchases of goods.
Every personal move would be tracked electronically, and all production would be subject to the requirements of clean energy and a sustainable environment and this is what Pope Francis and the Catholic Church are promoting today.
In this nightmarish new world that the Pope and the New World Order are setting up for us, there would be no private ownership of houses, nor would anyone pay rent, because someone else will be using our free space whenever we do not need it!
A person’s living room, for example, might be used for business meetings when one is absent, but in exchange you would have free access to transportation, accommodation, food, and all the things we need in our daily lives, but remember, you will own nothing!
So what do the Old Testament and the New Testament have to say about private property? As It turns out, quite a lot.
The Bible upholds the importance of owning and being able to use private property.
It is especially wrong to steal or to covet someone else’s property. Strictly speaking, all property is owned by the Lord.
Moreover, the controversial passage in Acts 4:32 does not constitute an exception to this, as the early believers retained private property while being generous with their possessions.
They voluntarily shared what they had through what seems to have been a temporary arrangement not a permanent one like the Pope and his Davos friends are trying to impose on us because the Bible’s central principles are consistent with a market economy, commonly called capitalism.
Furthermore, the Bible’s central principles also contradict a centrally-planned economy, often referred to as socialism.
Capitalism is an economic system that largely allows markets to allocate scarce resources through prices, property rights, and profit/loss signals.
Socialism is a system under which the government owns the means of production.
The government uses coercive taxation and wealth distribution to allocate resources.
The government also makes decisions over property, prices, and production.
Incidentally, communism is a progression from socialism.
It is both a political and economic system that would abolish private property and give to individuals based on need, just like Pope Francis and WEF want.
Such a project is anti-Christian and in line with the coming age of the Antichrist.”
I do not follow the line that the Pope is the anti-Christ or anything like that as some radical breakaway Catholics propose. I do not see him as a big player in the present scheme of things, for he is very low on the globalist food chain. In many respects, he is “second hand news.”
