QuoteThe Catholic Consecration of America Elevated Rome as the Guiding Influence for All Nations

On June 11, 2026, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops officially consecrated the United States to the Sacred Heart of Jesus as part of the commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. This ceremony was highly symbolic because it reflected a growing desire to unite American national identity with Roman Catholic spiritual authority because it included the invocation of Mary and the saints and prayers for Pope Leo as the shepherd to the universal church. The consecration also presented the Catholic Church as possessing a universal mission, serving as a moral guide and spiritual influence for all nations.

The following are statements that were made during the Catholic consecration ceremony of the United States:

• "127 years ago today, Pope Leo the 13th consecrated the human race to the most sacred heart of Jesus. In that spirit, we are here to consecrate the United States of America. As we commemorate the 250th anniversary of its birth." (Video)

• "On the threshold of our nation's 250th anniversary, we gather not first to celebrate ourselves, but to consecrate, to entrust, to place the church in the United States and indeed to place our whole nation into the sacred heart of Jesus Christ." (Video)

• "May your holy Catholic Church serve as a sign pointing all nations to your infinite love. Oh desire of nations, center of history, we ask you to bless these United States of America who live and reign with God the Father in the unity of the Holy God forever and ever. Amen." (Video)

• "Especially with the most blessed Virgin Mary, mother of God, with blessed Joseph, her spouse, with your blessed apostles and glorious martyrs, and with all the saints on whose constant intercession in your presence we rely for unfailing help." (Video)

• "Therefore, I ask blessed Mary, ever virgin, all of the angels and saints, and you, my brothers and sisters, to pray for me to the Lord our God." (Video)

• "Let us pray for our holy father Pope Leo that our American brother may have confidence in our filial piety and support as he shepherds the universal church." (Video)


This was a call to seek God's blessing through the Roman Catholic Church. It reflects an effort to connect America's future with the spiritual leadership and religious traditions of Rome. The language used in the consecration ceremony also presents the Catholic Church as possessing a universal spiritual mission among the nations. Such language is consistent with the prophetic picture in Revelation:

"And power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations." Revelation 13:7.

"And all the world wondered after the beast." Revelation 13:3.

"And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues." Revelation 17:15.


The repeated invocation of Mary, the saints, and their intercession highlights a fundamental difference between Catholic tradition and the teachings of Scripture. The Bible teaches that Christ alone is our only mediator between God and man (1 Timothy 2:5), a truth that was strongly emphasized during the Protestant Reformation. Many of the Reformers viewed prayers to Mary and the saints as a grave biblical error. Today, however, ecumenical cooperation has led many Protestants to remain silent on these and many other teachings that were once challenged during the Reformation.

"The Protestants of the United States will be foremost in stretching their hands across the gulf to grasp the hand of spiritualism; they will reach over the abyss to clasp hands with the Roman power; and under the influence of this threefold union, this country will follow in the steps of Rome in trampling on the rights of conscience." (Great Controversy, p. 588).

Protestant America is increasingly drawing closer to Rome as conditions in our nation continue to move towards the formation of the image of the beast. The idea that America has officially been consecrated by the Catholic Church is pushing us closer to the crisis that will revolve around worship and submission to man-made traditions. The central question during the final crisis will ultimately be whether we will follow the commandments of God or religious traditions elevated by human authority.

We are living in a historic moment as our nation's identity becomes increasingly intertwined with religion and the growing role of faith in our nation. As America moves ever closer to the prophetic events described in Revelation 13, God's people are called to proclaim the message of Revelation 14 to every nation, kindred, tongue, and people, exalting Christ as the only Mediator between God and man and upholding God's commandments as the only standard of truth and righteousness.

Soon no doubt, God will allow the evil one to answer those who pray to the dead, as though he was the one they were praying to. This is only right for them, as he basically is the god of the dead, so why shouldn't he answer those who pray to them.

Mat 22:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. 31 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying, 32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. 33 And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine.

2Th 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. 7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. 8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: 9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

QuotePope Leo Calls for a "Firm Political Will" to Strengthen Multilateral Cooperation, Fraternity, and the Global Common Good

On June 22, 2026, Pope Leo XIV visited the headquarters of the United Nations World Food Programme in Rome, the world's largest humanitarian organization. During his meeting with the executive board and staff of the UN agency, the Pope commended the organization's work and expressed his support for the United Nations' commitment to fraternity and the global common good—principles that fully align with Catholic social teachings and the Vatican's vision of universal solidarity and cooperation.

The following are some of the key statements delivered by Pope Leo XIV:

• "Your institution's commitment resonates profoundly with the Catholic Church's mission to uphold human dignity and to foster fraternity."

• "The Catholic Church is oftentimes a partner in collaboration with the programs that you oversee and that you work in."

• "The international order has become increasingly fragmented, arising in part from the crisis of the multilateral system. As I noted recently in the Encyclical Letter Magnifica Humanitas: 'the institutions established to safeguard the concept of a common future for all peoples and a global common good appear to have been weakened'."

• "For this reason, a renewed commitment to multilateral cooperation is essential."

• "In an increasingly fragmented and multipolar world, no single State can address global challenges alone. Lasting peace and integral, sustainable human development are possible only through the participation of all, fostered by genuine international dialogue and cooperation oriented towards the common good."

• "Such an approach requires a firm political will capable of transcending short-term perspectives and investing in global public goods. This goal can only be achieved through the convergence of effective policies and the coordinated and synergistic implementation of interventions. The call to walk together, in fraternal harmony, must become the guiding principle."

• "Your Excellencies, dear friends, what is at stake is not only the effectiveness of an agency but also the credibility of international cooperation itself. Your organization demonstrates that a renewed path is possible."


Pope Leo XIV's call for stronger multilateral cooperation, global fraternity, and the common good points to the growing union of religious and political powers on the world stage. The United Nations and other international organizations will be used to unite nations and encourage them to embrace the Papacy as a moral guide in addressing global problems. Institutions like the United Nations, the World Economic Forum, the European Union, the World Trade Organization, and others are powerful instruments that are being used to advance Catholic social teachings.

The Pope's call for "firm political will" and renewed international cooperation demonstrates how religious influence is being used to shape global governance. Revelation 13 and 17 point to a future alliance between church and state that will culminate in a global power grab seeking to impose a false worship upon the Earth. These prophecies bear a striking resemblance to the developments unfolding in our world today.

The Vatican's repeated emphasis on fraternity, the global common good, and international cooperation is laying the foundation for a united global order. These efforts are helping to restore the Papacy's influence and heal the deadly wound in preparation for the mark of the beast crisis.

Quoted article below from link above.

QuoteProtestant America Awards the Catholic Pope a Liberty Medal on its 250th Anniversary

On Friday, July 3, 2026, the U.S. National Constitution Center, established by Congress in 1988, awarded the prestigious Liberty Medal to Pope Leo XIV on the eve of the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States. The public ceremony took place on Independence Mall in Philadelphia, literally steps from Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution were debated and signed.

The Pope accepted the award via livestream from the Vatican, thanking the American people and emphasizing interfaith dialogue and the pursuit of common ground as defining pillars of the American experience. Yet these concepts are not the constitutional principles upon which the United States was founded. Rather, they are central themes of modern Roman Catholic social teaching, especially as articulated since the Second Vatican Council. Their purpose is to foster cooperation among the world's religions by emphasizing a shared belief and common witness while setting aside theological differences in the interest of peace and unity.

America's founding documents do not establish interfaith dialogue as a national mission, nor do they authorize government to unite religions in pursuit of the common good. Instead, they limit the power of civil government so that religious liberty and freedom of conscience remain outside of governmental control. What Pope Leo XIV is actually doing is revising our history to push the Vatican II agenda of dialogue, fraternity, and the common good and move us away from Protestant constitutional principles and into Rome's model of church-state unity.

This indeed is a historical and unprecedented event, especially when our Founding Fathers viewed the Pope of Rome with deep suspicion because he was a symbol of the union of church and state and of religious persecution. Many early Americans were Protestants whose families had fled Europe precisely to escape Roman Catholic persecution. The Spanish Inquisition, the Roman Inquisition, the wars of religion, and the enforcement of Catholic tradition by monarchs backed by papal authority were events that were contemporary to our Founding Fathers.

Today, Protestant America has honored the very symbol that the Founding Fathers rejected. And they did it from the very birthplace of this nation. The medal ceremony was held at the very site where the American experiment in limited government and separation of church and state was born. This nation deliberately rejected European models in which a religious authority, whether pope or king, could claim both spiritual and political power.

And to honor the head of the Roman Catholic Church with a "Liberty Medal" on the eve of the 250th anniversary is a profound reversal to what America is supposed to represent. Our nation is literally bestowing honor on the very system many had fled many centuries ago. The Pope hasn't changed. He is still the embodiment of church-state union. In the Founding Fathers' minds, the Papacy stood for tyranny. The Pope's claim to universal authority and temporal power remained deeply problematic to our nation at its founding. In fact, the U.S. Constitution was written to keep any such authority — foreign or domestic — from gaining a foothold in our nation.

A Changed America, Not a Changed Papacy

The contradiction arises because America has changed dramatically since 1776. In today's pluralistic, post-Vatican II era, the United States can honor the Pope for his so-called advocacy of religious freedom without seeing it as a threat to the republic. The Liberty Medal award cites the Pope's advocacy for religious liberty, a position the modern Catholic Church has strongly affirmed since the Second Vatican Council's Dignitatis Humanae in 1965.

The problem, however, is that the American and Roman Catholic understandings of religious liberty are not the same. The United States Declaration of Independence describes our rights as "inalienable," meaning that they cannot be legitimately taken away, surrendered, or transferred because they come from the Creator rather than from the state. By contrast, Roman Catholic teaching affirms religious freedom, but not as an unrestricted or absolute civil right; Vatican II's Dignitatis Humanae says religious liberty exists "within due limits," and the Catechism places rights within the framework of "the common good" and public order. Therefore, the American model emphasizes that rights are absolute and that government exists to protect them, while the Catholic model allows civil authority, in certain cases, to limit individual freedoms in the name of a higher common or moral good.

The current situation reveals one of history's greatest ironies: America, a nation founded to protect itself from religious establishments, which lead to tyranny, now pays tribute to the leader of one of history's oldest church-state institutions. In the early days of America, there was a healthy, widespread suspicion against the Pope due to his temporal power. This gesture of bestowing a high honor upon the same Pope—the Medal of Freedom—truly represents one of the greatest ironies of our modern time.

Our Founding Fathers saw the Catholic Church's hierarchical structure, its claim of papal supremacy over secular rulers, and its history of using state power to suppress "heresy" as completely incompatible with a constitutional republic, religious liberties, and individual conscience. That is why the First Amendment was designed to prevent any church from gaining the kind of privileged and coercive relationship with the state that had existed in Catholic Europe.

Unfortunately, that has all changed today:

"Protestants have tampered with and patronized popery; they have made compromises and concessions which papists themselves are surprised to see and fail to understand. Men are closing their eyes to the real character of Romanism and the dangers to be apprehended from her supremacy. The people need to be aroused to resist the advances of this most dangerous foe to civil and religious liberty" (Great Controversy, p. 566).

Let it be remembered, that this is the same institution which has recently supported and or called for greater internet and social media censorship, and the subjugation of all sovereign nations and individuals to the unelected officials of the UN and other international organizations regarding certain issues it has in common with them. Not to mention repeatedly attacking Capitalism, while seemingly praising Socialism, and even Chinese Communism as most closely demonstrating ideal Vatican implemented government. Let's not forget either, Catholic social teaching regarding the universal destination of goods, in relation to the issue of private property rights. Just to mention a few problems addressed on this topic and others within this SDA forum over the years. Hardly issues that would warrant the giving of Liberty Medal to the Pope of Rome.

QuoteNew York Magazine Reports that a Catholic Resurgence is Taking Over America

On July 6, 2026, New York Magazine published an article titled "The Young Catholic Elite Poised to Take Over MAGA," arguing that Roman Catholicism is doing more than increasing its presence through political appointments and elected officials. According to the article, it is also providing much of the governing philosophy behind today's conservative movement. It contends that Catholic social doctrine—rooted in papal encyclicals beginning with Rerum Novarum—is increasingly shaping the intellectual framework upon which conservative public policy is being built. If Roman Catholic social teaching continues to exert growing influence over American political thought and public policy, then we are drawing ever closer to the final crisis foretold in Revelation.

New York Magazine published the following:

• "On a muggy Saturday evening in May, 30 young men and a few women, all Christian and mostly Catholic, filed into a 19th-century redbrick building on Capitol Hill, part of Hillsdale College's Washington, D.C., campus. The occasion was the monthly meeting of the Cicero Society, a parliamentary debating club committed, according to its terse website, to 'developing excellence, preserving the Western intellectual tradition, and forming young leaders."

• "These young Christians are not interested in withdrawing from politics to practice their faith in private. They want to wield political power for Christian ends. And the politician who makes that Christian ambition feel most plausible is Vance."

• "Catholic social teaching offers a language of family, labor, solidarity, limits, obligation, and the common good articulated through papal encyclicals. Its modern starting point is Rerum Novarum, Leo XIII's 1891 encyclical on capital and labor."

• "Vance seemed to be adapting these teachings to Republican politics when he was a senator, working with economic progressives on railroad reform, insulin prices, credit-card fees, and clawbacks from bailed-out financial executives."

• "Catholicism has never felt more powerful or politically salient in the places where American conservatism governs. Six of the nine Supreme Court justices are Catholic. So are more than a third of the members of Trump's second-term Cabinet, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy, CIA director John Ratcliffe, and Education Secretary Linda McMahon. Prominent non-Cabinet figures in the administration including press secretary Karoline Leavitt and border czar Tom Homan are also Catholic. And then, of course, there is Vance."

• "Much of the legal, institutional, and intellectual machinery behind the contemporary right is Catholic-led as well, including Leonard Leo at the Federalist Society, Tim Busch at the Napa Institute, and Kevin Roberts at the Heritage Foundation."

• Evangelical Protestantism may be more powerful as a mass political force, but Catholicism has a deep theory of the world."

• "According to Cardinal Robert McElroy, the archdiocese, which covers the District of Columbia and surrounding suburbs, welcomed 1,755 people to the Church, up from 1,566 in 2025, which was already the highest figure in at least 15 years. 'The number of those joining the Church this year is a record for the archdiocese,' the cardinal told 60 Minutes."

• "The Catholic resurgence on the right coincides with the emergence of Pope Leo."


There is no doubt that Catholic social teaching is increasingly being incorporated into the Republican Party's governing philosophy. The article specifically notes that Vice President Vance has sought to introduce principles of Catholic social teaching into public policy discussions, embracing concepts rooted in papal encyclicals. This indicates that the Roman Catholic Church is exercising increasing influence over America's political and legislative agenda. New York Magazine further argues that Catholic influence now reaches every major branch of the federal government. In other words, more Catholics are serving in powerful positions where they help shape conservative laws, government policies, and the direction of the nation.

It is no coincidence that Pope Leo XIV, the first American pope, is rising to global prominence at the very time Roman Catholic influence is expanding throughout the nation's political institutions. New York Magazine itself describes this phenomenon as a "Catholic resurgence on the right." According to Revelation 13, the United States will ultimately form an image of the Roman Papacy by uniting civil power with religious influence. As Catholic ideas increasingly shape the nation's political life, these developments are helping set the stage for the fulfillment of this prophecy. They point to a time when America will follow in the footsteps of Rome, departing from its historic commitment to religious liberty and the separation of church and state.

Pope Leo to Jesuits: 'Go to the frontiers with courage and discernment'

Pope Leo XIV addresses the Major Superiors of the Society of Jesus, urging them to remain faithful to their missionary tradition of discernment and service at the frontiers of culture, faith, and human need.
By Linda Bordoni

Speaking in the Vatican to participants of the Meeting of the Major Superiors of the Society of Jesus (MMS), the Pope thanked Jesuit Superior General Fr. Arturo Sosa and encouraged the Society "to discern new ways of living out your mission in today's world."

The MMS — the first since 2005 — brings together around 100 Jesuits from across the globe, including Provincials, Regional Superiors, and Conference Presidents. The ten-day meeting, which began on 17 October, includes moments of reflection, communal discernment, and a Jubilee pilgrimage through the Holy Door.

Called to the frontiers
In his wide-ranging address, Pope Leo XIV described the present as "a change of epoch," marked by rapid transformations in culture, technology, and politics. "Artificial intelligence and other innovations are reshaping our understanding of work and relationships, and even raising questions about human identity," he said, noting also the threats of ecological degradation, inequality, and polarisation.

"Yet into this world, Christ still sends his disciples," he affirmed, recalling how Saint Ignatius of Loyola and his companions "did not fear uncertainty or difficulty; they went to the margins, where faith and reason intersected with new cultures and great challenges."

Quoting Saint Paul VI's 1974 address to the Jesuits, the Pope reiterated: "Wherever in the Church, even in the most difficult and extreme fields... There have been, and there are, Jesuits."

"Today," he continued, "I repeat: the Church needs you at the frontiers, whether they be geographical, cultural, intellectual or spiritual. These are places of risk, where familiar maps are no longer sufficient."

The Pope invited Jesuits to discern boldly and to practice the Ignatian principle of "holy indifference," which he described as "the readiness to let go of cherished structures or roles when the Spirit leads the apostolic body elsewhere for a greater good."

Synodality and reconciliation
Among the "major frontiers" facing the Church today, Pope Leo XIV highlighted the path of synodality, calling it a journey that "requires listening more deeply to the Holy Spirit and to one another." He thanked the Society for its contributions to the synodal process and for helping ecclesial communities "walk together in hope."

Turning to the theme of reconciliation, he said the world continues to suffer from "conflict, inequality and abuse," and that many wounds "remain unhealed across generations and peoples."

"We must oppose the globalisation of powerlessness with a culture of reconciliation - meeting one another in truth, forgiveness and healing," the Pope said, urging Jesuits to become "experts in reconciliation, confident that good is stronger than evil."

Discernment amid technological change
Pope Leo XIV devoted part of his address to the ethical challenges posed by new technologies, particularly artificial intelligence. He called this an "important frontier," observing that while it holds great potential, it also carries risks "of isolation, loss of work and new forms of manipulation."

"The Church must help guide these developments ethically, defending human dignity and promoting the common good," he said. "We need to discern how to use digital platforms to evangelise, to form communities and to challenge the false gods of consumerism, power and self-sufficiency."

Universal Apostolic Preferences
Referring to the four Universal Apostolic Preferences of the Society of Jesus,  confirmed in 2019 by his predecessor, Pope Francis, Pope Leo XIV described them as "frontiers calling for discernment and courage."

Recalling the first Preference, he encouraged Jesuits to lead people to God "through the Spiritual Exercises and discernment," noting that "many today search for meaning, often without realising it." Citing Saint Augustine, he said: "You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in you."

He called on Jesuits to "meet people in that restlessness... in retreat houses, universities, social media, parishes and informal spaces where seekers gather," and to remain "contemplatives in action, rooted in daily intimacy with Christ."

Addressing the second Preference - walking with the poor and excluded - the Pope denounced "an economic system driven by profit above the dignity of the person," citing his recent exhortation Dilexi Te in which he warned against "the dictatorship of an economy that kills."

"This global imbalance pushes countless people to migrate in search of survival," he said. "True discipleship requires both denunciation of injustice and the proposal of new models rooted in solidarity and the common good."

He encouraged Jesuit institutions — including universities, social centres, publications, and the Jesuit Refugee Service — to "promote systemic change" and to resist "compassion fatigue or fatalism," trusting instead "in the transformative power of God's love."

Walking with the young and caring for creation
Turning to the third Preference - accompanying young people — Pope Leo XIV said that youth "share a thirst for authenticity and transformation" and that the Church must "find and speak their language."

"It is important to form spaces where they can encounter Christ, discover their vocation, and work for the Kingdom," he said, noting that the upcoming World Youth Day in Korea will be "a key moment for this mission."

Regarding care for our common home - the fourth Preference - the Pope described ecological conversion as "deeply spiritual," calling for "renewing our relationship with God, with one another and with creation."

"Let your communities be examples of ecological sustainability, simplicity and gratitude for God's gifts," he said, echoing Pope Francis' Laudato Si' and its call for integral ecology.

"Remain with Christ"
Concluding his address, Pope Leo XIV invited the Jesuits to remain close to Jesus through prayer, the Sacraments, and community life.

"From this rootedness," he said, "you will have the courage to walk anywhere: to speak truth, to reconcile, to heal, to labour for justice, to set captives free. No frontier will be beyond your reach if you walk with Christ."

He expressed his hope that the Society of Jesus may continue to "read the signs of the times with spiritual depth," embracing "what promotes human dignity" and remaining "agile, creative, discerning and always in mission."

"May the Lord lead you to the frontiers of today and beyond," the Pope concluded, "renewing the Church and building a Kingdom of justice, love and truth."

It still remains remarkable how the Jesuit Catholics are seemingly working their way into every corner of not only the US, but the world. From many on the SCOTUS to those within Congress. Certainly bears watching and keeping an ear to the ground.

Yes, it is their job to insure that their Pope is the universal spiritual leader of the world, in their global agenda for universal power, within the world our Lord has called all of His own to separate from. The last Pope being the first Jesuit Pope ever, that the public has ever known about in any case, I guess he just wants to remind them of their commitment to him regardless of being a Jesuit or not. I think Pope Francis gave us a pretty good vision of what the Jesuits want. Which is right in line with the unending political instructions of Papal Encyclicals, Doctrinal Notes, and otherwise, which always have and do continue to blatantly contradict the founding principles of this nations Declaration of Independence and Constitution in many different ways. Apart from his heavy leaning to the left perhaps. Nevertheless, a good Jesuit endeavors to use both the left or right to help bring finality to their vision. The Hegelian Dialectic making good use of at least two competing parties in its simplest form. Perhaps the timing of the following message from the Pope is directly related to the one you shared.

QuoteThe Vatican Reaffirms the Pope's Universal and Moral Authority Over All Nations

Last week, the Vatican published a clarification asserting that the Pope should not be regarded as merely coequal with other world leaders because he is more than the head of a sovereign state. Rome declared that the Pope's role extends far beyond the political realm. As the "Vicar of Christ," the Pope is said to possess a universal spiritual and moral authority concerning the affairs of men. Therefore, when the Pope speaks on matters affecting society, he is not simply expressing a political opinion—he is proclaiming the gospel to the world.

Vatican News expressed the following on July 13, 2026:

• "Even when he speaks about war and peace, migration or how to remain human in the age of artificial intelligence, the Successor of Peter remains, above all, a spiritual leader. The fact that the Bishop of Rome, by virtue of the Lateran Pacts of 1929 that resolved the "Roman Question," is also the sovereign of the world's smallest state—less than half a square kilometer in the heart of the Italian capital—does not mean that he acts or speaks as a politician when addressing issues concerning the affairs of humanity."

• "He is independent of any sovereignty of this world."

• "The Bishop of Rome and Shepherd of the Universal Church would also be sovereign—and thus head of state. But this was, and remains, an arrangement designed to recognize precisely this need for independence from any other state."

• "Any glorification or exaggeration of the Pope's role as head of state, any emphasis on the importance of this role, is therefore misleading because it comes at the expense of his one true mission as universal Shepherd. A Shepherd who speaks to Catholics, Christians, believers, and all people of good will with the sole intent of proclaiming the Gospel."

• "When he calls for human life to be respected and protected at every stage of its existence, when he speaks of peace with the good of all peoples in mind and calls for an end to the mad arms race—even going beyond the concept of a "just war"—when he calls for dialogue and negotiation by invoking the Magisterium of Social Doctrine ... when he emphasizes the importance of caring for Creation so that we may pass it on to our children and grandchildren—the Successor of Peter is not speaking as a head of state. He is simply proclaiming the Gospel."


The Vatican has just affirmed and proclaimed the medieval doctrine of papal supremacy. This is the belief that the Pope possesses not only religious authority but also the authority to govern and rule over secular or temporal affairs. Rome wants to regain control over the world and use its position of power to shape society into an image of its own likeness.

Every true student of Bible prophecy and every defender of religious liberty should know what papal supremacy means. This is a system of power that requires the praise and submission of kings, emperors, religious leaders, and all people on the earth. This will lead to the temporary reign of the Antichrist, where dissent, freedom of expression, autonomy, and religious freedom will end under the new dictatorship.

The books of Daniel and Revelation identify the Papacy as the prophetic "beast" power (Revelation 13) that once held dominance during the Dark Ages and is foretold to regain its global influence in the last days. Prophecy being fulfilled before our eyes. It shows that the Papacy is not just tolerated or respected—it is admired, even by nations like the United States, which was founded on principles of religious liberty and separation of church and state.

"Rome is aiming to re-establish her power, to recover her lost supremacy. Let the principle once be established in the United States that the church may employ or control the power of the state; that religious observances may be enforced by secular laws; in short, that the authority of church and state is to dominate the conscience, and the triumph of Rome in this country is assured" (Great Controversy, p. 581).

Go to people. Right to the Vatican online, and read Papal Encyclicals, Doctrinal Notes, and so on. Why would the representative of Him who declared that His kingdom was not of this world, spend so very much time trying to spell out how the politics of this world should be conducted, while so fully supporting authoritative, liberty destroying governments of this world? Teachings which the Vatican has called upon all of its adherents to help make political realities within whatever nations they find themselves. It is as I have stated many times over, the Church of Rome represents a foreign power of subversion from within every nation she occupies. The harder she works to fill a nation with her adherents, the more determined she obviously is, to take that nation over from within. Which is why immigration is and has been so important to the Vatican.

Jhn 18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. 37 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.

Jhn 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

What does our Lord say? What does He teach? What is His gospel? These are the words and instructions all should seek to understand and obey above all others.

QuotePope Leo is Coming to America—but Says His Papal Role Is Universal, Not Limited to One Nation

n a July 29, 2026, interview with NBC News, Pope Leo XIV said that he plans to visit the United States, his home country he says he loves. At the same time, he emphasized that his primary mission and identity are not national, but universal. While acknowledging the significance of being the first American Pope, he explained that his role is not defined by his American citizenship. Instead, he said that he is a Pope first and that his identity as an American is secondary to his mission as the leader of the universal Roman Catholic Church.

In other words, the papacy does not see itself as representing the interests of any one nation but as carrying out the worldwide mission of the Vatican and the universal Roman Catholic Church. Pope Leo made it clear that his first allegiance is to the Papal office and its global mission, not to the interests of any particular country, including the United States. By identifying himself as a Pope first, he reaffirmed that the universal Church takes precedence over national identity and that his highest responsibility is to lead the worldwide Catholic Church rather than serve the interests of any single nation.

This is consistent with the description of a beast in Bible prophecy whose influence extends "over every tribe, people, language, and nation" (Revelation 13:7). Although Pope Leo XIV is American by birth, he is affirming that the office of the papacy transcends national boundaries. This is significant because Bible prophecy portrays the beast power of Revelation 13 as exercising worldwide religious influence. Its authority is presented as extending beyond borders, cultures, and governments in its effort to shape the beliefs and practices of the nations.

Scripture foretells of a religious power that will work to unite all the world into a counterfeit unity—one that elevates global harmony above faithfulness to God's Word. The Book of Revelation, particularly chapters 13–17, describes an end-time system in which religious and political powers converge as one in opposition to God's will.

"And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb..." Revelation 13:8.

"And power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations." Revelation 13:7.

"And all the world wondered after the beast." Revelation 13:3.

"And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings ... These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast." Revelation 17:12-13.

"For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty." Revelation 16:14.

"For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies." Revelation 18:3.

"And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse" Revelation 19:19.


Revelation warns that the world will come together to worship the beast and receive his mark. The entire world will embrace the counterfeit gospel along with the counterfeit Sabbath. As the world sinks deeper into disobedience, confusion, and spiritual error, God calls His faithful people to stand boldly and raise the banner of truth high before the world. Our mission is urgent—to proclaim the everlasting gospel and the warnings found in Revelation 14:6-12.

https://www.usccb.org/news/2026/postwar-order-frays-pope-leo-articulates-vision-peace-through-human-dignity

Quoted article below from link above. Emphasis in the article quoted is mine. My comments are in blue. Scriptural quotes are mine as well.

QuoteAs postwar order frays, Pope Leo articulates a vision for peace through human dignity

VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- As wars multiply and the post-World War II international order comes under increasing strain, Pope Leo XIV has spent the opening months of his pontificate articulating a Catholic vision for international relations rooted in human dignity, international law and multilateral cooperation.

Through his speeches, diplomatic addresses and first encyclical, "Magnifica Humanitas," the U.S. pope has consistently argued -- like his predecessors -- that lasting peace depends less on military strength than on politics grounded in the dignity of every person.

This clear message comes as nationalism, unilateralism and open conflict challenge the existing international order created post-World War II, during which many of the world's superpowers focused efforts on fostering free trade, collaboration and the development of global institutions like the World Bank and United Nations.

Yes, there has been and continues to be push back and rejection of international laws and institutions which seek to remove the God given rights of Sovereign nations and peoples. And rightly so. The problem is plain and simple, what the hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church politically desires, and what the founding principles of the government of these United States of America envision are at radical odds. The Papacy believes that certain individual or national God given rights should be sacrificed for what it defines as the common good. A term used by various abusive political entities throughout history, to destroy individual freedoms and rights, such as Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party itself. The following foundation of true liberty for all, is always threatened by visions of the common good over freedom of conscience.

QuoteWe hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.(The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America)

It is only right therefore, that all who cherish the above founding principles of our nation, push back against the development of international political powers which seek to undermine such national and individual rights. As all have seen such international political institutions attempting to force their own vision upon those of nations and peoples who disagree with that vision.

QuoteBut what has changed, scholars told Catholic News Service, is the landscape itself, as the international postwar order enters a period of profound transition. The 2026 Global Peace Index found 61 active state-based conflicts last year, the highest number since World War II ended, and concluded that global peace has deteriorated for the 12th consecutive year.


Mat 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. 9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.

No such thing as that highlighted at the end of the above verses can take place while the Declaration of Independence and Constitution of this nation remains in place and enforced. Can such be stated concerning the submission of these founding principles of our government, if or when all such is sacrificed to a supposed common good defined by international organizations lording themselves over all others? Who have accepted the Roman Catholic vision of a common good unto the unification of humanity under global authority guided by the Church of Rome's morality? History is already filled with the blood stained path of her religio-politcal leadership in the past.

QuoteIn his first encyclical, Pope Leo was clear that the global institutions that encourage partnership through multilateralism are eroding.

"The institutions that were established to safeguard the concept of a common future for all peoples and a global common good appear to have been weakened," Pope Leo wrote, arguing that the weakening of multilateral institutions has coincided with renewed conflict, distrust and what he calls a "culture of power."

Many people do not want a common future and common good defined by those who would lord themselves over all. As though humanity has ever been able to properly handle such absolute power over all, which has always corrupted the sinful heart absolutely.

QuoteFabio Petito, professor of religion and international affairs at the University of Sussex, told CNS July 13 that the existing system after World War II, built on U.S. leadership, multilateral institutions and international law, is fragmenting as global power shifts toward a more multipolar world.

Yes it was built largely influenced by U.S. leadership, but it has wandered far away from our founding principles ever since. Therefore do so many resist, push back, and seek to disestablish the ever increasingly intrusive and authoritative nature these institutions which openly declare their disdain for the God given rights our founding principles uphold.

Quote"We are living in this moment in which this system of regulated international relations for many decades is really in trouble," Petito said. The result, he said, has been "a return to some form of power politics," reflected in proliferating wars, nationalism, rearmament and militarization.

Rather than proposing a detailed blueprint for a new global order, Petito said the pope is advancing Catholic principles that should guide one. Central among them are the defense of multilateralism, international law and the belief that every person possesses an inherent dignity that transcends nationality, ideology or political interest.

Is this what the Pope thinks the United States envisioned when it supported a cooperation of nations after the second world war? The advancement of Roman Catholic inspired international law which trumps the laws of Sovereign nations? Which would amount to basically the Holy Roman Empire again, on a global scale. The history of which is drenched with the blood of dissenters.

What did the Roman Catholic Church of the dark ages ever want, but peace and unity by way of complete submission to Papal authority. What does it mea to support "international law and the belief that every person possesses an inherent dignity that transcends nationality, ideology or political interest."? But to support globalists right to subvert the laws and rights of sovereign nations from within, unto submission to globalist authority over an above all other. Exactly what the Papacy has taught and empowered its people to do as often as necessary throughout history. As addressed many times over on this topic over the years.
 

QuoteThat vision has already become key in Vatican diplomacy. Ahead of Pope Leo's visit to Monaco in March, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican secretary of state, told Vatican News that "international law appears weakened and at times overshadowed by the 'logic of power,'" warning against a return to doctrines that justify preventive war and calling small nations "natural guardians of multilateralism."

The same ideas also run throughout Pope Leo's own writings.

Scott Appleby, founding dean of the Keough School of Global Affairs at the University of Notre Dame, told CNS July 21 that the pope's international vision is rooted in St. Augustine's distinction between the City of God and the City of Man. Throughout "Magnifica Humanitas," Pope Leo invokes St. Augustine's contrast between societies ordered toward power and those ordered toward the common good, which becomes a choice between a "culture of power" and a "civilization of love."

Right, those seeking to protect national sovereignty and the will of the people of their nation against that of those outside of their nation, are the ones developing a culture of power. While those seeking absolute global power over every nation, under the oft abused term of the common good, are only seeking a "civilization of love". These people really think we are all just a bunch of idiots, who cannot see through this ultimate scheme for ultimate power over all.

QuoteThat framework, Appleby argued, serves as the organizing principle of "Magnifica Humanitas," explaining the pope's criticism of nationalism, militarization, economic exploitation and the erosion of international law.

"The project for a civilization of love, therefore, must undertake the task of transforming this imposed interdependence into a willed and chosen solidarity," Pope Leo wrote in his encyclical.

The pope's repeated references to a "civilization of love" – a concept first expressed by Pope Paul VI – are not simply spiritual language but the organizing principle of his international thought, Appleby said. He said Pope Leo's writings suggest that he rejects the assumption that nations are destined to pursue power at one another's expense. Instead, the pope argues that political communities can be ordered toward the common good when they recognize the inherent dignity of every person and place dialogue, justice and solidarity above coercion.

I reject the pope's assumption that all Sovereign nations and peoples are seeking to become so and free, at the expense of someone else. This is exactly the mindset of the papacy, its social justice agenda, cries for equity, teachings of the universal destination of goods, and non stop calls for wealth, natural resources, job or opportunity, and even mass migration redistributions, the world over. Taking from governments and peoples who systems actually work, and giving them to those whose systems do not, without changing the problems that cause their great need from others. Here the pope is the pot calling the kettle black. As the left does so often accuse everyone else of exactly what they are doing.

Quote"Those are the hooks to hang everything on," Appleby said.

Appleby said the pope's vision is also deeply rooted in the Second Vatican Council, which reoriented the Catholic Church's relationship with the modern world by emphasizing the inherent dignity of every person, regardless of their religion.

Sorry pope, your institution was and is quite a bit late concerning this issue. Which was resolved by others long before your institution would admit of and or support such. To the contrary, your institution fought tooth and nail against such rights as freedom of conscience and religion, until you realized no one was going to listen to you anymore.  Now having finally acknowledged such, you seek to pass yourselves off as the protectors of the same, while trying to globally advance the authority of international organizations which have already demonstrated their readiness to impose their will regarding many issue of great spiritual significance upon all. An agent of double speak if there ever was one. 

Quote"For him, it's a period of great flourishing of religious freedom, pluralism, the Church itself becoming more global," Appleby said of the U.S. pope.

Petito and Appleby said the pope does not seek a return to the post-Cold War world but believes it squandered an opportunity to build political institutions capable of sustaining solidarity. In "Magnifica Humanitas," Pope Leo criticizes the "almost blind faith" placed in markets after 1989, writing that the world is now "regressing from the significant turning point of the twentieth century."

"What the world failed to do is create political structures capable of supporting a civilization of love," Appleby said. "Instead, markets became the end-all and be-all of the new world order," contributing to today's crises of nationalism, weakened international institutions and renewed conflict.

Oh yes, the free market, such a terrible atrocity. When papally approved state sponsored and enforced redistribution of wealth could be facilitated under the all wise guidance of papal morality and the common good. International organizations under the direct guidance of papal authority taking every bodies wealth and doing what they please with it, would be better than correcting the abuses or undesirable consequences of a free market. And so of course, the papacy is not in favor of financial freedom either, save it by submitted to international organizations under the direct supervision of supposed papal "morality".

QuoteThe pope also repeatedly rejects unilateralism. Whether speaking about migration, war or governance, he argues that modern crises cannot be solved by individual states acting alone.

"No nation can face a challenge of this magnitude on its own," Pope Leo told the Spanish Parliament at the Congress of the Deputies in Madrid June 8. "Therefore, a coordinated, supportive, and effective response is indispensable."

Throughout his speeches, he argues that diplomacy, international law and multilateral cooperation depend on recognizing the dignity of every person.

"Peace is not something we must invent: it is something we must embrace by accepting our neighbor as our brother and as our sister," the pope told community members in Bamenda, Cameroon, April 16, 2026.

What does accepting our neighbors as our brothers and sisters have to do with establishing international law which requires us to relinquish control of sovereign citizens and or nations they organize to unelected foreigners, morally guided by the pope of Rome? Who is the pope to make such decisions for all, or basically accuse all who reject such as detrimental to their freedoms, of seeking to benefit off the backs of others? As all politicians and especially unelected foreign international ones always do. What does the pope want but to dissolve the power and authority of national constitutions developed by the peoples of nations themselves for their own protection and benefit, unto subjection to unelected and therefore non representative foreign
politicians, themselves submitting to the "moral authority of the pope Himself? Gee, I don't know, this kind of sounds like pope speak we have heard before during much darker days than now.


QuoteFurthermore, we declare, we proclaim, we define that it is absolutely necessary for salvation that every human creature be subject to the Roman Pontiff.(UNAM SANCTAM)


QuoteSpeaking at a June 22 seminar at Rome's Pontifical Gregorian University, Massimo Faggioli, professor in the Department of Theology and Religious Studies at Villanova University, said the Vatican's diplomatic importance has increased precisely because traditional alliances are becoming less stable, calling the Vatican "one of the last visible guardians of multilateralism."

Faggioli argued in his talk that growing tensions between Europe and the United States have elevated the Vatican's diplomatic importance. Describing the U.S.-European alliance as once "a turbulent marriage," he said it is now unclear whether that relationship still exists.

He said that it is in this context that the Vatican is "one of those voices that advocate or help neutral bridges for reconciliation," leading to a period he believes could be "Pax Vaticana."

Jodok Troy is an assistant professor at the Department of Political Science at the University of Innsbruck, Austria. He told CNS July 20 that the Holy See has always promoted multilateralism and this idea of an international world order through diplomacy. But in an increasingly conflicted world, he said, the papacy has gotten louder.

"The argument of the popes always has been: we need to make sure of this multilateral order, because it's not something that is self-sustaining," Troy said. "It's not something that runs by itself. It requires consistent work."

The scholars also agreed Pope Leo is building on his predecessors' appeals and Pope Francis' unique legacy rather than departing from them.

"Pope Francis broke new ground," Faggioli said. "I don't see Pope Leo retreating from that ground."

Petito added that while Pope Francis often led through symbolic gestures, Pope Leo has shown greater interest in strengthening institutions. 

As Pope Leo continues to appoint more leaders from the Global South to senior Vatican positions, he is also strengthening ties to the regions where the Church's presence is growing fastest.

In many of those countries, the Catholic Church serves not only as a religious institution but also as a trusted civic actor, with bishops frequently mediating conflicts, monitoring elections and advocating for democratic processes. That combination of demographic growth and public credibility could give the Holy See an increasingly important role in international affairs at a time when many state institutions are under strain.

Troy said the pope's emphasis on the Global South reflects more than a changing demographic makeup of the Church. Many of tomorrow's geopolitical challenges, he said, will emerge in regions where state institutions are weak but where the Catholic Church remains one of the few enduring social institutions, providing education, humanitarian assistance and moral authority.

"As political institutions become weaker," Troy said, "the Church will have an increasingly important role to play."

That is an increasingly political and temporal role to play. This is a repeat of history during the Roman Empire. As the Church of Rome rose to increased political and temporal power during the fall of that empire. As many have suggested and or observed as well, that the Church of Rome itself played no small part in that fall. The result was the establishment of the Holy Roman Empire, unto the dark ages, unto untold persecutions and suffering for religious reasons and wars spawned by religious differences.

Nor has the Roman Church been any less involved in the political instability we see all around us today, which events as she just admitted above, tend to bolster her political power and influence upon and within this world. As I have been recording on these very boards and this specific topic for years now. The following quote which I have posted before, attesting to some of her political intrigues toward instability in the more recent past than the dark ages.

Quotes from the book Ecclesiastical Megalomania by Dr. John W. Robbins-

QuoteRoman Catholic economic thought, as developed by the popes in their encyclicals and by Roman Church-State councils, has been a contributor to, if not the only source of, several forms of anti-capitalist political and economic organization during the long hegemony of the Roman Church-State. Among these forms are
1. feudalism and guild socialism in Europe during the Middle ages.
2. fascism in Italy, Spain, Portugal, Croatia, and Latin America in the twentieth century;
3. Nazism in Germany in the twentieth century;
4. interventionism and redistributive state in the West, including the United States in the twentieth century; and
5. liberation theology in Latin America and Africa in the twentieth century.
(Ecclesiastical Megalomania, John W. Robbins, Pt. 1, chap. 1, pg. 30)

From these doctrines of the natural community of goods and the moral primacy of need developed all the forms of anti-capitalist social organizations that the Roman Church-State has supported for the thousand years. The Roman Catholic doctrine of private property is echoed in the nineteenth century Communist slogan, "From each according to his ability; to each according to his need." The Roman Catholic doctrine reverberates in the slogan of twentieth century American liberals: "Human rights are more important than property rights." It was the creed of Lyndon Johnson's Great Society:, "We shall take from the haves and give to the have nots, who need it so much." It appears in the literature of fascism, Nazism, liberation theology, interventionism, and socialism. (Ibid., pg. 35)

These Thomistic notions - that private property is merely a construct of human reason and government, and that need gives the needy title to the goods of others - are the reason the Roman Catholic bishops in Brazil in 1998 pronounced that looting is neither sin nor a crime. The needs of the looters gives the looters title to the goods they are taking. According to Roman Catholic doctrine, the looters are, by natural and divine law, the rightful owners of those goods. (Ibid., pgs. 35&36)

The dispensing of riches to the needy is not merely a private moral obligation in Thomisitic thought, as fundamentally important as that is, but a public legal obligation that is properly enforced by the public authorities. That is the position officially adopted by the Roman Church-State shall become abundantly clear. (Ibid., pg. 36)

Apart from all of the above, there is the fact that God Himself divided humanity for its own good at the tower of Babel. This He did to prevent universal rebellion against Himself unto universal global destruction once again by His judgment, before the time He has allotted for such. The unification of humanity can and will only lead to universal rebellion against God enforced by humanity, as all the politics of this world are built upon compromise, and God's government and people cannot and do not compromise His authority. The only way to unify true believers and non believers, will be thought compromise. To the effect that, as soon as the Papacy might reach it's intended goal of unification, it will also universal rebellion against the government of God and the final destruction of this world by His final judgment upon it.

Quoted article below from link above, where video may be viewed as well.

QuoteThe Alex Jones Show: Catholics and Protestants Must Unite in a National Political Movement to Save America

On September 1, 2026, political commentator Alex Jones interviewed Christian nationalist pastor Joel Webbon, and they argued that Christians from different denominations must unite around common political and cultural causes despite their theological differences in order to preserve what they see as America's Christian heritage. They emphasize that Catholics and Protestants should set aside their longstanding theological disagreements and work together as part of a national political and religious movement to confront what they describe as growing threats to Christianity and traditional Christian values in American society.

Rather than allowing denominational divisions to prevent political cooperation, they are advocating for a coalition in which Catholics, Protestants, and other Christians can work together on issues they consider essential to the future of the country. They are advocating for the Christian nationalist vision of American politics, in which religious identity and political activism go hand in hand. They are presenting Christian unity as a means of building a strong political movement capable of influencing American culture and public policies.

Ellen G. White's warning in The Great Controversy is particularly relevant because she describes the formation of a religious-political alliance that would eventually seek to use the power of the state to enforce religious observances. Roman Catholics and Protestants will overlook their historic divisions and cooperate around a common religious objective, particularly the promotion of Sunday observance in the United States.

"Through the two great errors, the immortality of the soul and Sunday sacredness, Satan will bring the people under his deceptions. While the former lays the foundation of spiritualism, the latter creates a bond of sympathy with Rome. The Protestants of the United States will be foremost in stretching their hands across the gulf to grasp the hand of spiritualism; they will reach over the abyss to clasp hands with the Roman power; and under the influence of this threefold union, this country will follow in the steps of Rome in trampling on the rights of conscience" (Great Controversy, p. 588).

These predictions are coming to pass as Protestantism becomes increasingly more politically active. American Protestants will seek governmental power and influence to advance Christian morality. In this effort, Catholics and Protestants will find common ground. Rather than remaining divided over their major theological differences, they will cooperate in pursuing ecumenical and political objectives, with Sunday observance becoming a central point of unity.

"The word of God teaches that these scenes are to be repeated as Roman Catholics and Protestants shall unite for the exaltation of the Sunday" (Great Controversy, p. 578).

This political alliance is a natural result of the assaults upon the freedom of professed Christians, by those of the Secular Humanist and Atheist faiths. Who seek to force their vision of morality and societal norms upon all. This is predictable behavior from those without the fear, knowledge, or wisdom of the God of Holy scripture. Seeking such an alliance to protect one's freedoms as the founders of this nation intended is one thing, seeking it in order to force your own moral and societal norms upon all is another altogether. Which would also equal undermining the liberties and freedoms our founders envisioned, and properly identified as inalienable rights given to every person from God Himself. Which no government has a right to infringe upon, but unto warring against God Himself. Who has most obviously granted such freedom to us all.

The base problem with this alliance, is that it requires silencing the propagation of the truth, for the sake of unity. "To forsake the truth for the sake of unity, can only lead to apostasy". Various denominations among whom many have already forsaken the truth, taking the next step in creating a political unity based upon silencing truth, can and will only to a further slide into apostasy. In the end, creating the exact kind of abusive and persecuting form of government, they now claim they are uniting to fight. Especially when Joining hands with the church of Rome, which never has and never will believe in and or allow for separation of church and state. Politically joining hands with the church of Rome, will only end in complete submission to her. As Holy scripture has plainly predicted.

Rev 17:1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: 2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. 3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: 5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. 7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns. 8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. 9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. 10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. 11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. 12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. 13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. 14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful. 15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. 16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. 17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. 18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

Quoted article below is from link above.

QuoteReligious Doublespeak

Politicians, religious leaders, and journalists talk about human rights and natural law and many of us think we know what they mean. But could it be that these simple-sounding terms were devised to deceive us?

Political Communication

God created humans with the ability to use spoken and written language as a means of communication. God used language to communicate to us when He inspired the Holy Scriptures to be written.

At the Tower of Babel, God created many languages (Genesis 11:7,9), making communication more complicated because people were using communication to accomplish their own evil purposes. God slowed the progress of evil by giving them different languages and scattering the Babel-builders across the face of the earth. People settled in communities where the same language was spoken. Language families exist to this day due to what happened so long ago at the Tower of Babel.

From that time till now, people have worked to overcome language barriers. But the lessons that should have been learned from the Tower of Babel have been forgotten and today language is not always used to clarify. Often language is used to conceal the truth and deceive others. We see this in many areas of our lives, especially in marketing, news reporting, and political rhetoric, and unfortunately even in religion.

Clear communication is based on the assumption that the person speaking or writing is sincere. But when language is used insincerely or deceitfully, when there is a gap between one's real aims and one's stated aims, communication becomes dangerous because it can numb us into a false security. For example, sometimes a message is communicated to the masses while an entirely different meaning is intended that is purposely not explained.

Deceptive language that is meant to conceal the truth is called "doublespeak." It is "language that makes the bad seem good, the negative appear positive, the unpleasant appear attractive or at least tolerable...Basic to doublespeak is incongruity, the incongruity between what is said or left unsaid and what really is...between the essential function of language—communication—and what doublespeak does: mislead, distort, deceive...obfuscate."

George Orwell writes in Politics and the English Language that instead of being "an instrument for expressing thought," language can be a means "for concealing or preventing thought." According to Orwell, "if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought." Could someone's carefully formulated language actually corrupt the thoughts of listeners? Orwell was primarily referring to political communication, when he wrote his essay, but perhaps his observations can apply in other areas as well.

Language that is evasive, deceptive, misleading, or self-contradictory is known as "doublespeak." Doublespeak is all around us, causing a communication crisis of unimaginable proportions especially in the religious world. As we draw near to Christ's Second Coming, we cannot afford to be confused. However, many of the messages we are hearing from Christians, religious leaders, and the media are lulling us to sleep because we believe we understand what we are hearing. Thus, many of us are not alarmed and we raise no protest.

The Bible teaches that we should test what we hear so we can properly understand it and prove its correctness (Acts 17:11). God counsels us to be wise as serpents (Matthew 10:16). He also warns us that at the end of time, deception will be so rampant that even the very elect are in danger of being deceived (Matthew 24:24).  Much of the doublespeak in use today can be traced to the Roman Catholic Church whose theologians and scholars have obscured the truth by attaching unexpected meanings to common words. Consider the following examples from Catholic social teaching.


Natural Law and Reason

On April 18, 2008, Pope Benedict addressed the world from New York. In his speech,2 the Pope upheld the UN as a crucial defender of human rights and a force for peace. He claimed that human dignity is inherent and universal because we were created by God, and that because of this, human rights "are based on the natural law inscribed on human hearts."
 
Benedict urged the UN to give human rights more prominence. He said that entrusting states with the "responsibility to meet the aspirations" of humanity could result in a social order that is not "respectful of the dignity and rights of the person."3 In other words, leaving the protection of human rights to states would result in violation of those rights. Instead, he counseled the UN to anchor its "vision of life . . . in the religious dimension."4

Was Benedict saying that the Catholic Church should play a more influential role in the protection of human rights through the UN? It seems so. As it is, the Catholic Church holds permanent observer status at the UN which means it can influence decision-making by participating in discussions of the General Assembly, Security Council, and Economic and Social Council. The Catholic Church is already very much involved in shaping the policies of the UN.

It all sounded very nice and very caring. To most people, the Pope didn't say anything alarming at all. On the contrary, he seemed to be upholding the principles of brotherly love between all mankind. After all, if people paid better attention to human rights, this world would be a better place, wouldn't it? People wouldn't get massacred, and children would grow up in a better world with more access to education, medical attention, and be well taken care of, right?

Well, if we believe that, then we have become victims of the Pope's doublespeak. Not only have we been unbelievably conned, but because of our ignorance as to what exactly the Pope was saying, we could be aiding and abetting the greatest oppression ever to be foisted on Planet Earth.

What exactly did Benedict mean?

Background and History:
Where did human rights come from?


The UN Declaration of Human Rights lists 30 rights that are essential to all people everywhere.5 The UN calls upon all countries to publicize the text of the Declaration and to "cause it to be disseminated, displayed, read, and expounded principally in schools and other educational institutions, without distinction based on the political status of countries or territories."

The problem is that these human rights, introduced by French revolutionaries during the French Revolution and later expanded upon by the UN, were designed to replace the law of God. The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen was brought in during a period of aggressive de-Christianization of France. This set of human rights were first published in an illustration that showed them written on two tables of stone just as the 10 Commandments had been written on two tables of stone. (Ex 31:18) In addition, the articles declare that the law is supreme (articles 4 and 5), not God is supreme, and that it is the expression of the general will (article 6), not the will of God.

There was much more about the French Revolution than just human rights. It was an all-out war against the God of heaven, the dethroning of God, replacing Him with the sovereignty of another universal god. During the French Revolution, Bibles were burned. These are the two witnesses of Revelation 11 who were clothed in sackcloth and who were overcome by the beast from the bottomless pit in the great city which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt (Zechariah 4:11-14; Revelation 11:2-11).

So when Pope Benedict honored the UN's declaration of human rights, we should consider this history. Shouldn't the Pope, the leader of a Christian church, proclaim and promote the law of GOD rather than this declaration of human rights which the French Revolution introduced to replace God's law? 

Natural Law

The Pope said that human rights, "are based on the natural law inscribed on human hearts..."
Thomas Aquinas, a 13th-century Catholic theologian was one of the Catholic Church's most influential teachers. Aquinas's influence on Catholic thinking is so great that he was made a saint in 1323 and is designated as one of the Doctors of the Church (there are only 37). He incorporated natural law, which is based on Greek philosophy, in his book Summa Theologica, which is a summary of the Catholic Church's main teachings. Like a manual for theology students, to this day, it plays a foundational role in the education of priests.

Aquinas blended faith and reason in his philosophy. He believed that our understanding of what is good and evil comes from our natural ability to reason and therefore, good and evil are objective and universal. Whereas the Bible teaches that the knowledge of what is good and evil comes from God, natural law morality teaches that we can recognize what is good and what is evil by looking at nature. The Catholic Catechism explains it like this:

The natural law expresses the original moral sense which enables man to discern by reason the good and the evil, the truth and the lie:

QuoteThe natural law is written and engraved in the soul of each and every man, because it is human reason ordaining him to do good and forbidding him to sin ... But this command of human reason would not have the force of law if it were not the voice and interpreter of a higher reason to which our spirit and our freedom must be submitted.

In The Chronicle Review: a Chronicle of Higher Education, Alan Wolfe, Jewish Professor at Boston College wrote an article entitled "The Intellectual Advantages of a Roman Catholic Education" in the issue dated May 31, 2002. He writes this:

QuoteAmong Catholic intellectuals, as well as some who are not Catholic, the most important Catholic inheritance is the natural law tradition, which is premised on the idea that there are certain truths in the world that remain true irrespective of whether the laws and conventions of any particular society adhere to them. At its worst, belief in natural law can lead to ideological rigidity and inflexible inhumanity...Catholics are likely to hold that the truth of God's existence must mean the truth of man's reason, art's beauty, and morality's universality.

This is the foundation of natural law in Roman Catholic teaching. The reasoning is that since God created nature, everyone around the world can learn from nature what is right. Never mind what the Bible says is right and wrong, or that Jesus alone is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. The Catholic foundation of morality is not the Word of God but natural law.

However, the Bible tells us that we cannot trust ourselves to know what's right and what's wrong because we've been corrupted by sin and are self-deceived. The Bible teaches that the whole head is sick (Isaiah 1:5), that the heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked (Jeremiah 17:9), that in our flesh there dwelleth "no good thing" (Romans 7:18), and that by our own selves, we can do nothing (John 15:5). But the Roman Catholic Church says "No." Rome says that the Pope is the superior—that he can correct the apostles and free himself from the Word. Thomas Aquinas says that we may have fallen bodies but our intellect, our reason, is unfallen and therefore we can make decisions equal to the law of God.

Richard M. Gula, Professor of Moral Theology at St. Patrick's Seminary in California wrote this in his book Reason Informed by Faith—Foundations of Catholic Morality:

QuoteNatural law is central to Roman Catholic theology...The advantage of using natural law is that the church shows great respect for human goodness and trusts the human capacity to know and choose what is right. Also by means of appealing to natural law, the church can address its discussion and claims for the rightness or wrongness of particular actions to all persons of goodwill, not just to those who share its religious convictions...

The magisterium has appealed to natural law as the basis for its teachings pertaining to a just society, sexual behaviour, medical practice, human life, religious freedom, and the relationship between morality and civil law...In any case, the development of natural law tradition among Christian thinkers is due not so much to the scriptures as to the influence of Greek philosophy and Roman law (pp. 120-121).

#1: "Natural law is central to Roman Catholic theology..."
So now we know that whenever the words "natural law" are used in a speech by a representative of Rome, we should listen because they are speaking about a central issue of their theology.

#2: "...the church shows great respect for human goodness and trusts the human capacity to know and choose what is right..." 
The Bible doesn't tell us that. The Bible teaches that "all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God (Rom 3:23) and that "the heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked" (Jer 17:9). Goodness comes from God alone. (See Lk 18:19; James 1:17; Ps 51:10; 2 Cor 5:21.)

#3: "the church can address its discussion and claims for the rightness or wrongness of particular actions to all persons of goodwill"
Note that it does not say that the Church can work with all persons, only all persons of goodwill. There's a difference. Who decides who is of goodwill and who is not? What are the criteria? We are left to wonder.

#4: "the development of natural law tradition among Christian thinkers is due not so much to the scriptures as to the influence of Greek philosophy and Roman law."
Natural law, which is central to Catholic theology, the basis of all its doctrines and teachings, does NOT come from the Scriptures but from Greek philosophy and from Roman law.

 #5: "...natural law as the basis for its teachings pertaining to a just society, sexual behaviour, medical practice, human life, religious freedom, and the relationship between morality and civil law."
Every aspect of society including the justice system, medicine, religion, civil law, and even our right to exist, are to be based on the principles of natural law, according to the Roman Catholic Church.

Now let's address one last point of Gula's revealing paragraph.

#6: "the church can address its discussion and claims for the rightness or wrongness of particular actions to all persons of goodwill, not just to those who share its religious convictions"
The historical aim of Rome—total global domination—is still the same today. The Catholic Church would like to be the spokesman for and to ALL religions, not just Catholics. Its principles of natural law are to be the controlling principles over all religions. The Pope would like to be the universal ruler and to unite all religious systems under one law, a law based on "reason," the natural law of the Roman Catholic Church. Do we not see him speaking and acting as one who has authority and influence over all areas of society, over nations and religions? Only the most uninformed could possibly not have noticed.

In 1963 during the Cuban missile crisis, Pope John XXIII published an encyclical entitled, Pacem in Terris, or Peace on Earth, in which he called for a global "public authority" to establish world peace and work for the common good. Then, in 2009, Pope Benedict published Caritas in Veritate, Charity in Truth, calling for a reform of the UN to establish a "true world political authority" with "real teeth" to manage the global economy with God-centered ethics.8

We should ask ourselves who this true world political authority is going to be. Whatever form the coming world government will take, one thing appears to be clear. Even if it looks and sounds Christian, and even if it seems to be founded upon God's law, it will instead rule according to natural law principles, for that is the Catholic Church's foundation. Though it deceives the world with its lamb-like appearance, it will speak like a dragon, using deceit, "the poison of asps" (Rom 3:13). And this is the kind of government prophecy predicts will be ruling the world at the end of time. (See Rev 13, and also Rev 17 where Christ's disciple John saw a vision of the church as a corrupt woman riding a multinational kingdom at the end of time.)

Just as a note of interest regarding the above article. The Vatican is no longer just an observer at the United Nations, but has been moved up into the status of a formal party to the UN. The link provided below addresses this change of status.

QuoteNew Holy See Permanent Observer to UN: Hate speech is not freedom of expression

Archbishop Christophe Z. El Kassis delivers his first speech as the new Permanent Observer of the Holy See to the United Nations in New York on the importance of eliminating hate speech as it "poisons public discourse, inflames division, and too often prepares the ground for violence and persecution."

Vatican News

The new Permanent Observer of the Holy See to the United Nations, Archbishop Christophe Z. El Kassis, presented his letter of appointment to the UN Secretary-General António Guterres on 16 September.

A day later, on 17 September, Archbishop El Kassis gave his first address at the Global Conference on Promoting Interreligious and Intercultural Dialogue and Tolerance in Countering Hate Speech in New York.

Addressing the Chair, the Archbishop reiterated the Holy See's position that each and every individual is made in the image and likeness of God and has an inalienable dignity that cannot be lessened by any expression or ideology of hatred.

He stressed that "from this foundational truth flows the moral imperative to reject every form of intolerance, discrimination, and hate speech that wounds the human family and undermines the conditions for peaceful coexistence."

Any hate speech—directed at either individuals or communities because of their religion, race, nationality, or any other characteristic—goes against the commandment to love one's neighbor. Moreover, it "poisons public discourse, inflames division, and too often prepares the ground for violence and persecution."

Archbishop El Kassis turned to the words of Pope Leo XIV in his Encyclical Letter Magnifica Humanitas: "The first contribution we can make toward a more humane civilization is to be mindful of our words." Words have great power. The first step in weaving "the fabric of social peace and foster a culture of dialogue, tolerance and respect for differences" is taken when we disarm our words.

Yet, the new Permanent Observer argued that words are not enought to build peace. Authentic tolerance does not equal indifference or relativism. Rather, it means actively acknowledging each individual's dignity and their own freedom of conscience. Patience in achieving dialogue, mutual understanding, and rejecting stereotypes is essential to true tolerance.

"In this spirit the Holy See promotes interreligious and intercultural dialogue as an essential path toward overcoming prejudice and building a better world for all," Archbishop El Kassis explained.

A fundamental right

"Freedom of expression is a fundamental right that must be protected," the Archbishop stressed. However, this freedom comes with responsibilities.

Any words or speech that intentionally provoke violence or hatred cannot "claim the protection of liberty; rather it erodes the very conditions in which genuine freedom can flourish."

As the Pope's encyclical urges, we must "disarm communication of all prejudice and resentment, fanaticism and even hatred; let us free it from aggression. We do not need loud, forceful communication, but rather communication that is capable of listening and of gathering the voices of the weak who have no voice. Let us disarm words and we will help to disarm the world. Disarmed and disarming communication allows us to share a different view of the world and to act in a manner consistent with our human dignity."

About Archbishop El Kassis

Born on 24 August 1968 in Beirut, Lebanon, Archbishop Christophe-Zakhia El-Kassis was ordained a priest of the Archeparchy of Beirut of the Maronites on 21 May 1994. Six years later, he joined the Diplomatic Service of the Holy See and has been worked at the Pontifical Representations in Indonesia, Sudan, and Türkiye.

In 2018, he was appointed Apostolic Nuncio to Pakistan and on 19 January 2019, he received the episcopal consecration from Cardinal Pietro Parolin in St. Peter's Basilica.

On 25 July 2026, Pope Leo XIV appointed Archbishop El-Kassis as Permanent Observer of the Holy See to the United Nations in New York.


The danger in the above admonition is of course concerning just exactly who will determine what is to be considered "Hate Speech". A demand presented to the UN such as the above, to end all hate speech, equals nothing less than a call for international laws prohibiting such. Which would and will of course end in removing freedom of speech from all who utter any words which others might actually consider offensive. The above may easily qualify as double speak, intending to attack freedom of speech, more than to protect people from being offended. Coming from an institution infamous throughout history, for attempting to censor everyone directly under their thumb of power and influence.

Personal responsibility with one's words is of course key to the issue at hand. Nevertheless, sacrificing freedom of speech to a suggested freedom of individuals and or institutions from being offended, is simply evil. It cannot be anything else, since so very many people themsleves and or institutions are and have been evil all throughout history. Using the excuse of being offended, to justify or vindicate their use of violence upon those who might very well be speaking the truth about individuals or institutions who are doing wrong. Laws against "Hate Speech" so called, are perfect weapons of control and manipulation of the masses by tyrannical governments and or religions, in silencing all descension thereby.

Quoted article below from link above.

QuotePope Leo to Take His Environmental Message Directly to the UN

The Holy See gave its formal press briefing on Pope Leo XIV's September 25–28 visit to France, and Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni specifically identified the environment as an important element of the Pope's visit to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) headquarters in Paris. Leo will deliver a formal address there on September 25 before the international body and discuss matters related to the environment.

Pope Leo XIV will first meet the French president and then address government authorities before going to UNESCO.  The Vatican News published the following:

•, "Pope Leo XIV's September 25–28 Apostolic Journey to France will include meetings with civil authorities, young people and the Church, a visit to UNESCO in Paris, and an encounter in Metz focused on Europe, peace and unity."

•, "During a press conference held at the Holy See's Press Office on Friday, September 18, the Director of the Press Office, Matteo Bruni, illustrated the Pope's Journey, which will take him to Paris, Lourdes, and the northeastern city of Metz."

• "The Director of the Holy See Press Office then explained how UNESCO is a place where 'humanity reflects on itself, on its history, on its future,' with a focus on the value of art and education as a vehicle for peace. He also noted how the environment will be an important element, as it is closely related to culture."


Pope Leo's ecological teaching—which this month has included ecological conversion, disregard for the environment as ecological sin, ecumenical environmental action, and the Vatican's Theological Commission's "Sabbath principle" of Sunday being the weekly day of rest—is now approaching one of the United Nations' major international institutions. The issue is not whether Christians should care for creation. The issue is whether care for creation, Sunday rest, interfaith unity, economic policy, religious morality, government power, or the common good should be used to justify government-backed religious observance.

Revelation 13 describes a coming together of church and state during the final crisis in which the powers of earth move will ultimately employ civil authority in matters of worship. We are seeing this corrupt harmony taking place before our eyes:

"The union of the church with the state, be the degree never so slight, while it may appear to bring the world nearer to the church, does in reality but bring the church nearer to the world" (Great Controversy, p. 297).

The Vatican constantly meeting with the leaders of sovereign nations or otherwise, and the international organizations of unelected officials she hopes to subject all these nations to. Unto the religio-political global government directed by her self professed moral authority, she has always envisioned, as BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND THE ABOMINATIONS OF EARTH.

Gen 11:1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. 2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. 3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter. 4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. 5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. 6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. 7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. 8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. 9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.

Those who will join her in bringing about the very unity of humanity in rebellion against God, which God ended in the above account, will only bring about the universal destruction of humanity once again. Which was the very thing God was avoiding in dividing humanity, to prevent our end before the time He has allowed unto such.

Quoted article below from link above.

QuotePope Leo XIV Unites Religious Leaders and Civil Authority for Climate Enforcement

On September 24, 2026, Pope Leo XIV addressed the Pontifical Academy of Sciences during a meeting with public officials and various religious leaders. The Pope explicitly encouraged continued cooperation among scientists, government authorities, civil society, and members of different religious traditions to address the so-called climate crisis. He explicitly seeks to unite Church and State—religious leaders and policymakers—to respond with "action" in order to save the world.

The Holy See Press Office published the following statements by Pope Leo:

• "We are witnessing heatwaves, droughts, floods, storms, wildfires and other natural disasters with increasing frequency and intensity."

• "It follows that the climate question is not merely an environmental challenge, it is fundamentally a question of justice, human dignity and solidarity between peoples and generations. We cannot respond to these challenges only after disaster has already struck."

• "We need to move from emergency response to prevention, from vulnerability to preparedness, and from short-term measures to a wise and far-sighted vision for humanity."

• "In this effort, cooperation across disciplines is indispensable. Climate resilience requires the collaboration of scientists, engineers, economists, physicians and social scientists, together with local communities and policymakers."

• "The challenges of a changing climate cross every boundary between disciplines, institutions and nations; our response must therefore cross them as well."

• "It is encouraging that these gatherings bring together not only scientists, but also young people, public authorities, representatives of civil society and members of different religious traditions."

• "Such gatherings create spaces where knowledge can be shared across borders, where successful experiences can be learned from and adapted, and where scientific understanding can be translated into practical action. I encourage you to continue along this path."


Pope Leo's worldwide Sunday-centered climate program cannot be imposed upon the world through ecclesiastical authority alone; it would require the civil power of governments to take those religious teachings and implement them into public policy and law. Pope Leo XIV is already calling for climate action that crosses institutional and national boundaries and specifically welcomes cooperation involving public authorities, civil society, policymakers, and different religious traditions, while speaking of moving toward a global "common plan."

In Catholic social teaching the pairing of religious leadership with state authority under the "common good" is necessary to advance Rome's agenda. When this mechanism is embraced, it will restore Rome as the most important and worldwide superpower. Under the reign of the Antichrist, no one will be permitted to overshadow the authority, power, and prestige of the Papacy. The entire world will submit to her authority.

"And the woman (church) which thou sawest is that great city (Rome), which reigneth over the kings of the earth." Revelation 17:18.

"And all the world wondered after the beast (Rome)." Revelation 13:3.

"And the dragon (Satan) gave him (beast) his power, and his seat, and great authority." Revelation 13:2.

"The Protestant world will learn what the purposes of Rome really are, only when it is too late to escape the snare. She is silently growing into power. Her doctrines are exerting their influence in legislative halls, in the churches, and in the hearts of men. She is piling up her lofty and massive structures, in the secret recesses of which her former persecutions will be repeated. Stealthily and unsuspectedly she is strengthening her forces to further her own ends when the time shall come for her to strike. All that she desires is vantage-ground, and this is already being given her. We shall soon see and shall feel what the purpose of the Roman element is. Whoever shall believe and obey the Word of God will thereby incur reproach and persecution." (Great Controversy, p. 581).

Does the Pope or the Vatican, think they can stop what Holy Scripture and our Lord Jesus Christ predicted in and for this world?

Mat 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. 9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. 10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

Mrk 13:5 And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you: 6 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 7 And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet. 8 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows. 9 But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them. 10 And the gospel must first be published among all nations. 11 But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost. 12 Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death. 13And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

They will prevent nothing, but only form the very global government that will persecute those giving the everlasting gospel to the entire world. As in rebellion they seek to prevent the things which God has declared will take place in this world before He returns. By passing international global laws to control and manipulate all according to the fear mongering politics they foist upon the world unto their own exaltation in rebellion against the word of God. The devil and his minions know what is coming upon this world, so the powers that be of this world are preparing for war against God's own giving the final warning of the everlasting gospel to a dying world. Seeking to establish global powers to battle against the truths of God's word, which will save, enlighten, and free all who choose to submit to it, rather than the beast and the woman who rides it.

Psa 146:1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul. 2 While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being. 3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. 4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish. 5 Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God: 6 Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever: 7 Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners: 8 The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous: 9 The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down. 10 The LORD shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD.

Quoted article below from link above. Where video may be viewed as well.

QuoteU.S. Secretary of Agriculture Says Trump's Policies are Biblical and Uses Office to Promote Faith

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins has publicly stated that she is using her federal position to advance an explicitly Christian mission, while also revealing that the Trump administration's America First Policies are biblical and are bringing light to a dark world.

In a September 16 interview on Trinity Broadcasting Network⁠, Rollins discussed faith inside the administration and described biblical principles as foundational to its political program. She said the administration's officials are "a group of warriors" who gather weekly for Cabinet Bible study to remind themselves what they are fighting for.

Rollins also described the policies she helped develop through the America First Policy Institute as grounded in the word of God, arguing that policies involving the border, education, health care, farmers, and ranchers can be understood biblically.

It is one thing for a cabinet secretary to be a Christian, pray, voluntarily participate in Bible studies, or explain how faith influences her personal decisions. However, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Rollins went further by stating that she uses the platform of her federal office to "make disciples of all nations." We have a sitting cabinet secretary publicly declaring that she uses government authority to promote Christianity. This reveals that the current administration has adopted Evangelicalism as federal policy.

This type of union between Church and State is precisely the reason why religious freedom is important. Religion is being mixed with governmental authority. In this context, Sunday legislation becomes possible whenever the State goes beyond protecting religious freedom and begins to mandate religious observance. When Christianity and governmental power become increasingly identified with one another, the constitutional barrier against the establishment of an official religion is eliminated.


Let's be careful not to throw out the baby with the bath water. The freedoms, liberties, and even separation of church and state established by our founding fathers were and are all built upon biblical and Christian principles. By a majority of Christian bible believing people. There are many biblical principles of government by which a nation and peoples may benefit and prosper.

We have seen those of atheistic and or secular humanist morality attempt and occasionally succeed in building government upon their own principles, even to the point of forcing such views upon all by mandates, or legal actions against those who cannot participate in such according to their religious convictions. Shall we say or support the idea that Christians cannot establish government upon righteous biblical principles while atheists or secular humanists can do so according to very differing moral standard or political ideologies? Again, if this were the case at our founding, there would be no United States of America with freedom, liberty, and justice for all.

We must focus our attention upon those seeking to mandate their religious views and or convictions upon all. Which most obviously has nothing to do with biblical principles of government of and by many different peoples.  Such spiritual authority belonging among those alone who are all in agreement unto such, and freely join denominations from within which they may withdraw if their views or convictions ever change.

Christian principles of government are just as important today for our country as they were at its founding. If we are going to reject the promulgation of such principles from any and all politicians, then those of other faiths or morals will end up changing this country from within accordingly. As we have already been witnessing for many years now. Not the least of which comes to us via the leadership of the Roman Catholic Church. As the Popes and Vatican have and do publish non stop political narratives they wish their adherents to establish within this and every nation, which directly contradict the founding biblical principles this nation was built upon.

QuoteInterreligious Body Tied to the Vatican and the UN Calls for Religious Climate Dialogue to Be Transformed into Concrete Initiatives for the Common Good

On October 7, 2026, the 24th Meeting of the Secretariat of the Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions was held in Astana, Kazakhstan. Representatives of Islam, Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Shinto, and the Bahá'í joined government officials and representatives of international organizations to adopt a document titled "The Role of Religions in Combating Climate Change." Various religious and government leaders came together with the stated goal of turning interreligious dialogue into concrete action, presenting the so-called global ecological crisis as an urgent challenge requiring a common interreligious response.

This event closely reflects the Vatican's vision of bringing the world's religious traditions together around the shared themes of "care for our common home," ecological conversion, and increased interreligious cooperation to address global environmental concerns. The Astana Time published the following on October 7, 2026:

• "Religious leaders and international experts gathered in Astana on Oct. 7 to discuss how faith communities can contribute to addressing pressing challenges, with artificial intelligence, climate change and the rights of children with incurable diseases among the key issues on the agenda."

• "The discussions took place at the 24th Meeting of the Secretariat of the Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions, which brought together representatives of Islam, Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Shinto and the Baha'i Faith, as well as government officials, international organizations and experts from 20 countries."

• "Participants considered two draft international documents: the Code of Ethics for the Use of Artificial Intelligence in the Religious Sphere and the Role of Religions in Combating Climate Change ... the documents reflect the need to strengthen the practical role of spiritual diplomacy amid growing global instability."


The Catholic Church and the Holy See are directly involved in this international interreligious climate initiative. Fides, the Vatican news agency operated by the Pontifical Mission Societies, reported on October 7, 2026, that the Holy See's Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue participated in the meeting through its representative, Jesuit Father Laurent Basanese:

• "The Catholic Church's presence in this process is far from marginal. Pope Francis' visit to the seventh Congress in 2022 was a particularly significant moment, reaffirming the value of the Congress as an international forum for interreligious dialogue."

• "In 2025, Pope Leo XIV's message to the eighth Congress likewise emphasized the importance of 'working together,' recalling that dialogue does not require differences to be erased, but can instead transform them into opportunities for cooperation."

• "Father Laurent Basanese, SJ, Head of Office at the Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue, is taking part in the Secretariat session."

• "The challenge today is to turn dialogue into concrete initiatives. The Astana Congress is seeking to build the kind of moral consensus without which even regulations risk remaining ineffective. The aim is to create common ground."


What is especially concerning is that Fides, a Vatican news agency, explicitly states that solutions emerge when a religious moral authority can assist government and international regulatory bodies—which it described as "ineffective." The strategy is to build a common moral consensus among the world's religions—with Rome playing a prominent role—that can actually support and help governments advance concrete initiatives.

The Vatican's argument is that religious leaders possess a unique moral authority capable of influencing communities and helping to turn global climate commitments into practical action. In this model, religious cooperation does not remain confined to dialogue; it becomes the powerful catalyst for mobilizing society and governments to support, adopt, and implement international environmental regulations.

There is also a direct United Nations connection to this ecumenical-Vatican event. Nihal Saad of the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations told the gathering that religious communities have the capacity to mobilize people in support of national and international environmental initiatives and global commitments. İnformasiya Agentliyi published the following on October 7, 2026:

• "Religious communities and leaders can contribute to the fight against climate change by raising awareness, promoting responsible behavior, and fostering dialogue at the community level, Director of the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations Nihal Saad said at the 24th meeting of the Secretariat of the Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions in Astana."

• "She noted that religious communities, through their ability to engage with the public and mobilize community efforts, can contribute to national and international initiatives to ensure environmental sustainability and fulfill global commitments. Nihal Saad also drew attention to the common principles that unite various religious traditions in matters of environmental protection."


The climate message is clearly moving beyond traditional interreligious dialogue toward coordinated global action. Religious bodies are increasingly seeking to shape public policy and international initiatives through what they describe as a common moral consensus. In these discussions, we see representatives of the Vatican, the United Nations, governments, international organizations, and the world's major religious traditions coming together around shared environmental objectives. These developments reflect the fulfillment and culmination of the appeals made under Pope Francis and continued under Pope Leo to treat the ecological crisis as an urgent moral issue requiring coordinated action and cooperation among religions, governments, international institutions, and society.

The trajectory is significant: Pope Francis repeatedly linked the care of our common home to the recovery of a shared weekly day of rest—Sunday. As this theme continues to unfold under the pontificate of Pope Leo XIV—including his own call to sanctify Sunday for the sake of caring for creation—we must closely observe how soon these appeals will also influence governments, international regulatory bodies, and, ultimately, the laws by which society is governed.

QuoteJudges from Around the World Adopt Climate Declaration at the Vatican, Linking Papal Encyclicals to International Judicial Action

Laudato Si', Fratelli Tutti, and Magnifica Humanitas are much closer to legal implementation. An international gathering of representatives from national supreme courts, international tribunals, judges, judicial officials, and legal experts took place at the Vatican on October 6–7, 2026. The gathering concluded with the signing of a declaration that defines climate actions as a matter of legal action. It also connects papal encyclicals to judicial decision-making in an effort to influence climate policies and legal action worldwide. According to Vatican News, the declaration draws upon three papal encyclicals—Laudato Si', Fratelli Tutti, and Magnifica Humanitas—presenting their teachings as central principles in the pursuit of climate justice.

Vatican New published the following on October 10, 2026.

• "The meeting, held on October 6 and 7 at the headquarters of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences, brought together representatives of judiciaries, national and international courts, academic institutions, and organizations involved in the defense of human rights and the environment."

• "The declaration signed at the close of the conference maintains that the climate crisis cannot be addressed solely from a scientific and political perspective, but also constitutes a legal problem."

• "In this context, the document emphasizes the responsibility of judicial bodies to ensure that decisions, omissions, and activities under review respect fundamental rights, existing legal obligations, and due process guarantees."

• "The proposal thus aims to strengthen the legal tools available to address environmental conflicts and promote coordinated judicial responses among different countries."

• "Another central theme of the document is the relationship between climate justice and the Social Doctrine of the Church, with special reference to the teachings of Pope Francis. The declaration establishes a connection between the encyclicals Laudato Si', Fratelli Tutti , and Magnifica Humanitas."

• "The document suggests that these principles can help guide judicial work on climate issues, linking environmental protection with human dignity, institutional responsibility, and the pursuit of the common good."

• "The closing sessions included the participation of judicial authorities and specialists from Europe, Latin America, the Caribbean and the United States."

• "Among the participants were Mattias Guyomar, President of the European Court of Human Rights; Iván Mauricio Lenis Gómez, President of the Supreme Court of Justice of Colombia; César Manuel Diesel Junghanns, Minister of the Supreme Court of Justice of Paraguay; Orlando Aguirre Gómez, President of the Supreme Court of Justice of Costa Rica; and João Cura Mariano, President of the Supreme Court of Justice of Portugal."

• "Also participating were Verónica Gómez, judge of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights; Gabriela Lenz de Lacerda, president of COPAJU Brazil; Rebeca Xicohténcatl Corona, president of COPAJU Mexico; and representatives from the academic, environmental and judicial fields of various countries."

• "The closing remarks were delivered by Roberto Andrés Gallardo, who emphasized the centrality of Pope Francis's social teachings and his call to judges to exercise their responsibilities in defense of social justice and human dignity."


Here we see judges and representatives of national and international courts looking to Rome's teachings for guidance on climate change, environmental protection, and legal responsibility. This development reveals the growing relationship between the Vatican and judicial institutions worldwide and the plan to incorporate papal teachings in legislation, litigation, and judicial decisions.

According to the prophetic warnings of Revelation 13, 17, and 18, Rome will exercise far-reaching influence over the nations, ultimately leading to the enforcement of religious decrees through civil authority. Pope Francis' encyclical Laudato Si' explicitly advocates Sunday as a day of rest, while Pope Leo's Magnifica Humanitas calls for labor laws to be implemented that ensure the proper balance between work, leisure, and rest.

The next step will be to continue with initiatives aimed at consolidating Sunday as a common day of rest by promoting restrictions on commercial activity on that day. Unfortunately, a so-called "climate connection" between Sunday and environmental action is currently being established. Proposals for Sunday rest already exist in various parts of the world, although their link to any specific judicial action has not yet been seen—until now.

The prophetic warning is unmistakable: when religious teachings begin shaping the exercise of civil authority, the separation between church and state is removed. What started as an innocent appeal for environmental protection and a common day of rest is now showing teeth as judicial powers are calling for Papal teachings to be enforced through the power of the state.

Babylon The Great inviting everyone of anyone of power and authority from within any and every nation, to come and receive orders of political and legal action personally directed by the Popes of Rome, to be directed against dissenters of every nation. Completely bypassing the will of the peoples, Constitutions, and in the case of our country, our Declaration of Independence. By hopping in bed with the leaders of their lands to enforce their own teachings upon all, helped and facilitated by the unelected officials of globalist international organizations they are and have been in bed with as well.

They will not back down from their fear mongering authoritarian political tactics until all are subjugated to their illicit and ill begotten tyrannical rule. Because they know that Holy Scripture itself predicts coming catastrophic events connected to climate and weather will only increase, upon the back of which they may seize control of the fearful masses. Therefore have they created a false gospel of hope  to the effect that, if we will listen to them who predicted such, we can be saved from these coming events. This is a lie though, and a deplorable misuse of the predictions of Holy Scripture unto the personal gain of power, prestige, and world dominance the papacy has always fought for. They will save no one, but only create the final global beast of biblical prophecy, unto the final catastrophic judgements of God upon fallen humanity and this world. Their success, will mean the end of this world. So be it, as God's word has determined.

God divided humanity at the tower of Babel to prevent this kind of universal global rebellion again after the flood. The final book of biblical prophecy lays out the events leading to a united global rebellion against the authority of God once again, unto the final end of this world of sin and woe. This time it will be by the judgements of God described therein, ending completely by fire not water. The vast majority of the world which already denies that God's first judgment of this world happened by the great flood, will deny His authority again unto His global judgment again by fire. May God grant us all the grace to stand firm with Him against the final global beast power of biblical prophecy which the papacy continuously seeks to bring about in the unification of all humanity under her self proclaimed and facilitated "moral" authority.

Gen 6:1  And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, 2  That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. 3  And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. 4  There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. 5  And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6  And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. 7  And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. 8  But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.   

Gen 11:1  And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. 2  And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. 3  And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter. 4  And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. 5  And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. 6  And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. 7  Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. 8  So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. 9  Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.

Rev 18:1  And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. 2  And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. 3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. 4  And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. 5  For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. 6  Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double. 7  How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. 8  Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her. 9  And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, 10  Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come. 11  And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more: 12  The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble, 13  And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men. 14  And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all. 15 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, 16  And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! 17  For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off, 18  And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city! 19  And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate. 20  Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her. 21  And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all. 22  And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee; 23  And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. 24  And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.


No one is working harder to create the unification of all humanity under a global government and economic system than the papacy. That she may be the moral spiritual authority in and of this world above all others. Literally calling for a one world government and economy in subjection to the globalist unelected tyrannical officials of international organizations of her own choosing. Those she has already been committing spiritual fornication with for many years now, who ever increasingly look to her self proclaimed spiritual authority over all, as a prime example to be followed in their persuit of political control and power over all.

Rev 17:1  And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: 2  With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. 3  So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 4  And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: 5  And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 6  And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. 7  And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns. 8  The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. 9  And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. 10  And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. 11  And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. 12  And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. 13  These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. 14  These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful. 15  And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. 16  And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. 17  For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. 18  And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

It is when the church and state unite their spiritual and civil authorities unto the subjugation of all to their illicitly gained powers, that they become irreversibly drunk with power unto universal folly and destruction. It is the spiritual fornications of the Church of Rome with the powers that be of this world, which causes the global intoxication of it unto final destruction, as described in the biblical prophecies of Holy Scripture.

Isa 55:6  Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: 7  Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. 8  For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. 9  For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. 10  For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: 11  So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

So be it as God's word has determined. God have mercy upon our souls.
