Actually they haven’t. They are all still separate governments.
 
The thing about One World Government is that it happens incrementally, just like boiling a frog.
 
Human nature tells me it’ll never happen. People will eventually rebel as has always happened. The only way to quash that is through force and incarceration at minimum.

I wonder what forum pundits would have said 3,000 years ago when the Known World was composed of walled city-states, with wilderness, barbarians, and highway robbers in between. Who could have predicted nation-states, with each available territory assigned to one and only one sovereign power? Democratic, elected, rule? Unthinkable!

You mean like the Roman Empire? What eventually happened there? The Ottoman Empire? The Egyptian Empire?
 
A Global Government would go against the Catholic principle of subsidiarity, namely that a central authority should have a subsidiary function, performing only those tasks which cannot be performed at a more local level.

Also most Globalist Institutions like the UN, EU seem to favor principles that are hostile to basic Christian morality (i.e in favor of abortion, gender ideology, etc,).

Based on the responses thus far it does not sound as if the Catholic Church is doctrinally against such a thing as a One World Order or One World Government (If I can associate the two this way). My feeling was, it was.

The Church has always been universally focused as per Jesus instruction. I’m completely on board with the Church’s promotion of the global common good especially manifest in the ecological blueprint that essentially proves that if some part of the world is exploited or sacrificed for greed and power, in the end we are all toast. It’s also shameful that some of the world lives in unearned luxury while the other part lives daily with want and hopelessness. It’s hard to feel ok about that as you fall asleep each night.

Depends on who is in charge. If Jesus is in charge, it could work out. If a communist dictator is in charge, not so much. If the politburo is in charge, pure chaos.

That’s true. Another consideration is how it’d be achieved.

All nations coming together and pledging their support? Good! One nation conquering the rest of the world with fire and sword! Not so good.
 
Jesus instruction were on the salvation of souls, not a universal government. Did he not say “You will always have the poor with you”

When he said to take care of the poor was it an instruction for individuals or for governments to do it for you?

When St. Paul went on his three missionary journeys was it to form a worldwide government or to spread the gospel and collect donations from the churches for the poor, or did he tax everyone?
 
There would be nothing wrong with a 'One World Order", provided such an entity is administered by Jesus Christ Himself. Failing that, I do not desire to be ruled by some one world government, but will only submit to a government led by an American and elected by the citizens of this country.

What’s wrong with it? Let’s start with the fact that it’s fictitious theoretical conspiracy baloney, and go from there.

It may well be baloney. It may well be somewhat theoretical. It may even be a conspiracy. But it is not fictitious in the sense that it does not exist. It does exist. The World Economic Forum is no trivial organization. And, perhaps, the WEF is step one to a new world order. Perhaps not.

My question is more on the lines as (assuming it has legs) how does-it/will-it conform to a Catholic world view. There seems to be mixed opinions on that.
 
The European Union experiment will show us what’s wrong with a One World Order.

I note that the Vatican is not a member. From a Catholic perspective, that fact in itself is instructive. How could the Vatican sign on to an organization that requires its member to fund direct abortions and contraceptives?

Absent a common set of core values, the notion of oneness is unobtainable.
 
Sorry, but the idea of the WEF being a first step to a One World Order is baloney to me. It’s an economic organization. That’s all it is.

The EU was simply an attempt to band together and compete better with the USA and other large countries.

I’m not going to argue this point further, so I will mute now and let whoever wants to disagree and have the last words do so. I don’t indulge these types of theories.

Thank You. These are the kinds of posts I was hoping to see. Both, from a pro and con perspective. Not an emotional perspective. (Get enough of that with the election results).
 
To be honest I’m going with Jesus on this one:
] And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars; see that you are not alarmed; for this must take place, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places:
8all this is but the beginning of the birth-pangs.
9 "Then they will deliver you up to tribulation, and put you to death; and you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake.

The only people who believe in one world governments are the conspiracy theorists who are afraid, and those who really want one thinking it will be a panacea.

Jesus says different, and since I personally think he is who he says he is, I believe he’s right. He knew human nature better than anyone

How many of the 193 world governments would actually relinquish power?

Take a look at how the entire world has been more or less in lockstep in the approach against a virus with a an extremely low mortality over the last 8 months and that should give you a good idea.
 
To me it seems that we should ask why. Why exactly is there a need to conserve all power under one single roof or ruler or set of rulers? What is the reasoning?

We don’t exactly have everything figured out now…obviously, so to me this is one of the scariest things that could ever happen. There is nothing wrong with having different nations and countries, that ISNT a problem. So its confusing to me why a one world government is necessary unless you ask yourself who exactly is going to control this one world government?

The United Nations? Please don’t make me laugh, they require the United States help more often than not because IMO we have things more put together better than even they do. We in the USA don’t need their problems too.

If not the United Nations…who? Do you feel comfortable being ruled by someone you do not have a say in? What about someone you can’t understand? How about someone who thinks completely different than you? (Not that there is anything wrong with any of these things, but would you feel comfortable with someone or a group like this to have a say over ever aspect of your life?)

I personally wouldn’t. I think many, many American’s wouldn’t either. A lot of the values that we hold dear in our beloved country are also not shared in other countries. The push for the one world order in the United States is just a push to make us more like Europe, and I don’t think that is a very good idea for our Nation. (Remember we started this country to get away from distant nations, so that we could establish our own values.)
 
Meh. I think Christ is right and you’re wrong. See above post.
