During his meeting with Ban Ki-moon, Secretary General of the United Nations and the UN Board, Pope Francis told the world body leaders they must do more to help the poor and should encourage the “legitimate redistribution” of wealth.
The UN Board was meeting in Rome for their semi-annual meeting at the UN Food and Agricultural Organization and World Food Program. They usually meet in New York, Washington or Geneva. But every 10 years or so they meeting in Rome. For the UN to be in a position to redistribute wealth, they would have to take more control of the global economy.
“In the case of global political and economic organization, much more needs to be achieved, since an important part of humanity does not share in the benefits of progress and is in fact relegated to the status of second-class citizens,” Francis said.
Pope Francis is promoting the centralization of economic and political power under global institutions. He, like the popes before him, continues to argue that the economy of the world should come under ethical or moral authority. Of course, that would mean, under papal guidance.
This is not an isolated theme. During his pontificate Francis has issued several strong attacks on the global economic system, saying in one speech last September that it could no longer be based on “a god called money.” Pope Francis also urged U.S. President Barack Obama in March, to champion the cause of the world’s have-nots.
The Bible says that the merchants of the earth collaborate with the Vatican to achieve their wealth and that one day she will be punished for her deceptive behavior. “And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more… The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
And saying, Alas, alas, that great city… For in one hour so great riches is come to nought,” Revelation 18:11-17.
So, it is exactly the opposite of what it appears on the surface. While the church publically calls for wealth redistribution, she is not willing to divest her own wealth. At the same time she supports wealth accumulation by a few economic managers otherwise known as central bankers and major corporations. Using other people’s money and reapplying it to build political credibility is a favorite tactic of politicians the world over, including the popes.
“An awareness of everyone’s human dignity should encourage everyone ‘to share with complete freedom the goods which God’s providence has placed in our hands,” Francis said.
While that is true, nice sounding platitudes makes easy cover for telling UN organizations to take more control of the world’s economy, central banks, trade and commerce and manage it in line with globalist principles, all in the name of wealth redistribution to help the poor.
Though Pope Francis himself dedicates time to visiting the poor to some extent and advocates that the church get closer to the poor, he does not mean to use the vast resources of the church to relieve their necessities, at least not very much.
The Papacy does not use the biblical model, which requires the church and sympathetic individuals to provide various types of monetary and other assistance in support of the poor. Instead, it advocates that governments and international institutions should forcefully take money from the wealthy through various taxes and other government welfare schemes, and provide government welfare assistance to the poor. While on the surface, this all sounds good, the plan is all about putting more control into the hands of a few heads of international organizations. It does not really help the poor because it only makes them dependent on the government and perpetually poor. But it is also coercive. For fear of losing their government benefits, people will do what they are told.
When universal religious laws are enacted and enforced, many will yield to them in order to keep their sustenance. They will have learned to depend on governments and not on the God of heaven.
Ban also renewed an invitation for the pope to address the United Nations in New York. And why shouldn’t he? Pope Francis is very popular and would serve the globalist agenda of the UN quite well.
