Of course, the new world political authority that Pope Francis has in mind would be guided and directed by the Roman Catholic Church.
Mankind does have a sacred responsibility to be good stewards of planet Earth. Yet the same Bible that Pope Francis paraphrased during his press conference says that weather disasters are actually curses sent by God to punish people for their sins.
“If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land” (2 Chronicles 7:13-14).
Rather than telling individuals that they need to repent of rebellion against God, the bishop of Rome is telling governments that they need to take more control over people’s lives.
Many Catholics don’t grasp that the Vatican is more than the headquarters of a religion; it is a nation-state participating in the political affairs of empires. As British political economist Rodney Atkinson wrote to late Trumpet writer Ron Fraser in 2013, “Imperial politics rather than the religion of the Roman Catholic Church have been its critical characteristic.”
Biblical prophecy describes a church existing in the end time that holds significant political influence with “the kings of the earth.” It will have particular power over a political-military union of nations described in symbolic terminology as a “beast” (Revelation 17).
This description can only apply to one church in modern history: a church that meddles in the affairs of nations and considers itself mother to all—a church that has repeatedly aligned with a particular empire in order to exercise political authority!
