Climate-change conference
follows calls for 'global authority'
Pope Francis and U.N. General-Secretary Ban Ki-moon
UNITED NATIONS
The U.N. general secretary's appearance at an
upcoming Vatican event promoting a worldwide movement to combat
climate change coupled with a pontifical paper calling for the
establishment of a global political, economic and financial
authority cultivated by the U.N. has caught the attention of an
author who believes the developments support predictions in his 2012
book.
The Vatican's "Protect the Earth, Dignify Humanity" conference April
28, which will feature U.N. General-Secretary Ban Ki-moon, aims
to,
Thomas Horn, co-author with Cris Putnam of
"Petrus Romanus
- The
Final Pope is Here," notes the Vatican conference anticipates the
encyclical on global warming and the environment by Pope Francis, currently scheduled for June or July publication.
Horn sees
the Vatican's attempt to join forces with
the United
Nations on the issues of
global warming and
climate change as
additional evidence the Vatican is following a blueprint,
"for structuring the world's
political and economic authorities into a
centralized world government."
He points out that Cardinal Peter Turkson, the head of the
Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, helped write the first
draft of the pope's encyclical and also wrote a document in 2011 on
behalf of the Vatican calling for establishing a global authority to
eliminate economic inequalities and redistribute wealth.
Expected to attend the Vatican conference is U.S. economist
Jeffrey
Sachs, the head of the Earth Institute at Columbia University, and a
special adviser to the U.N. chief on Millennium Development goals.
Sachs also serves as the director of the U.N.
Sustainable
Development Solutions Network.
Horn told WND people "should sit up and take notice" of the U.N.
event because of the Vatican's Oct. 24, 2011, document authored by Turkson titled
"Toward
Reforming the International Financial and Monetary Systems in the
Context of a Global Public Authority."
Horn said the paper,
"amounted to a call by the Vatican
for a global political, environmental and financial authority to
be established under the United Nations."

a remarkable journey that leads to startling conclusions.

In the document, Turkson acknowledged,
"a long road still needs to be
travelled before arriving at the creation of a public Authority
with universal jurisdiction,"
"It would seem logical for
the reform process to proceed with the United Nations as its
reference," Turkson continued, "because of the worldwide scope
of the U.N.'s responsibilities, its ability to bring together
the nations of the world, and the diversity of its tasks and
those of its specialized Agencies."
Turkson described the Vatican's view of what an ethically acceptable
global economic development would look like.
"The fruit of such reforms ought to be a greater ability to adopt
policies and choices that are binding because they are aimed at
achieving the common good on the local, regional and world levels,"
he wrote.
"Among the policies, those regarding global social
justice seem most urgent:
-
financial and monetary
policies that will not damage the weakest countries
-
policies aimed at achieving
free and stable markets and a fair distribution of world
wealth, which may also derive from unprecedented forms
of global fiscal solidarity, which will be dealt with
later"
Global public authority
In their book "Petrus Romanus," Horn and Putnam said the Vatican
directive attempts to devise a "moral" mandate for establishing,
Horn also drew attention to "Caritas in Veritate," or
"Charity in
Truth," the third and last encyclical published by Pope Benedict XVI
before he abdicated the papacy, which advocates a "World Political
Authority."
One of the global authority's aims, Benedict said, should be,
-
"to manage the global economy
-
to revive economies hit by the
crisis
-
to avoid any deterioration of
the present crisis and the greater imbalances that would
result
-
to bring about integral and
timely disarmament, food security and peace
-
to guarantee the protection of
the environment
-
to regulate migration"
Benedict said that in,
"the face of the unrelenting growth
of global interdependence, there is a strongly felt need, even
in the midst of a global recession, for a reform of the United
Nations Organization, and likewise of economic institutions and
international finance, so that the concept of the family of
nations can acquire real teeth."
In an email to WND, Horn affirmed the conclusions of Accuracy in
Media's Cliff Kincaid after the publication of "Caritas in Veritate"
in 2009.
"Kincaid is right to be concerned why the leader of the worldwide
Catholic Church, considered by Catholics the personal representative
of Jesus Christ, has become an advocate for one of
the most corrupt
organizations on the face of the earth - the United Nations," Horn
said.
"These developments have prophetic
implications for Christians who fear that a global dictatorship
will take power on earth in the 'last days'."
