Yikes! No! That’s an insane idea!The UN would have to be the sole possessor of nuclear weapons, and its member countries would each have to be content with very limited military forces.

Or in other terms:They can be bribed, cajoled, misinformed, propagandized and otherwise mislead into thinking some leader or party has their best interests at heart, when that turns out not to have been the case.
And who would look after them? And what on God’s green earth would make us think that just like any other government and human, that it wouldn’t be imperfect and sinful and apt to corruption?The UN would have to be the sole possessor of nuclear weapons, and its member countries would each have to be content with very limited military forces.
I’ll say it again. The vision is not to ‘run countries’. The vision is similar to the example of the EU which has embraced a level of human identity above strict nationalism. It isn’t looking to destroy any nations sovereignty by recognizing another level of identity. Its scope is to overcome the type of nationalism that results in wars and persecution and a complete lack of care for the suffering of other nations.You are projecting a whole lot of things from your own mind, stuff I didn’t say or refer to.
The UN can be a great body to increase cooperation between nations. I’m all for their treaties that are jointly prepared and signed by their respective nations. That is the ideal example of cooperation.
But the UN doesn’t run countries. No similar body should be setting rules and regulations that subsidiarity dictates should be done locally.
The progressive “vision” is always a tempered one at first. Slowly things get added one by one like Frankenstein’s monster until the fetid thing looks nothing like what was first idealized.I’ll say it again. The vision is not to ‘run countries’.
It’s not a ‘progressive’ vision. It’s a genuine humanitarian vision. Pope Francis has continuously given the Church’s support to clawing back the ‘Frankenstein’ of unbridled capitalism, where half the worlds net wealth belongs to 1% of the population. Where 820 million people are starving and 30% of food produced in the US each year goes to waste. No person of conscience can sleep easy at night knowing this, surely? At the very least, when countries are collaborating to try and find effective solutions to those problems, is it in the spirit of a Christian to condemn them and decide on just watching ‘Frankenstein’ roam the world unbridled?Motherwit:

Ah, I see.It’s not a ‘progressive’ vision. It’s a genuine humanitarian vision. Pope Francis has continuously given the Church’s support to clawing back the ‘Frankenstein’ of unbridled capitalism, where half the worlds net wealth belongs to 1% of the population.
Why make a big production - the great reset - out of it when they could easily undertake their giving in secret?When you give alms do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your almsgiving may be done in secret.
This wouldn’t be the same Pope Francis who ratified an agreement recently to basically give the Church in China over to the control of the CCP to the chagrin of Chinese Catholics and their bishops, would it?Pope Francis has continuously given the Church’s support…
So now we are to be suspicious of the Pope because of fears of globalism? You are aware that Pope after Pope has praised the UN as a step forward in humanity, right, including Benedict XVI?This wouldn’t be the same Pope Francis who ratified an agreement recently to basically give the Church in China over to the control of the CCP to the chagrin of Chinese Catholics and their bishops, would it?
Leaves me just a little dubious that the Pope can hold his own with the world’s elite wheeler dealers when he appears to have taken such a hands-off approach to the flock in China. Will he sign similar accords with the NWO moguls?
Right. A one world power with no accountability beyond itself and with sole access to military and nuclear weapons. Nothing could go wrong there.I am not sure what is meant by “One World Order.” If this phrase refers to a world government, then I think that it is absolutely essential and in no way anti-Catholic.
A world government simply means a United Nations with the military forces necessary to prevent any country from attacking another. The UN would have to be the sole possessor of nuclear weapons, and its member countries would each have to be content with very limited military forces.
I am not “suspicious” of the Pope. I do not think he is plotting to undermine the Church. I do think he is not as adept at worldly enterprises as the secular elites that are influencing his decisions. He is also misinformed by some close to him. He is susceptible to manipulation. He is gentle as a dove, but not sly as a serpent.HarryStotle:

I’m not a fan of the UN either for its rampant hypocrisy (Saudi Arabia on the human rights council, to take one recent example; duh what’s Yemen? :crazy_face: ) and how beholden it is to the elite nations of the world. But the globalist theory is just a bit, well, it’s like the stuff the John Birch Society said.The UN of even five years ago is not the UN of today. There has been a radical shift to the left brought about by a rapid acceleration from global minded socialists. Their slow and steady agenda implementation was under threat by unanticipated populist movements and election wins in Europe, the UK, Brazil, Australia and the US, among others. They had to rush implementation and have made errors and stirred resistance, so they are pushing harder. The media pushing a Joe Biden win along with the congratulatory gestures actually reveals their forcing of the agenda.
Maybe. However the capacities for information sharing and communication in these times permits far more collusion and orchestration than even the past decades.HarryStotle:

The only way to have ‘one world order’ is to have top down control.I’ll say it again. The vision is not to ‘run countries’. The vision is similar to the example of the EU
The main problem with the UN is their bureaucracy. The type of person who typically wants to work for the UN usually leans left. Conservative peoples often like to focus on helping their families and local communities. Conservatives typically think the best way to help the world is by helping their local communities & assisting religious/private charities. Progressives are the ones who often think the best way to help the world is on the UN or National level.I’m not a fan of the UN either for its rampant hypocrisy (Saudi Arabia on the human rights council, to take one recent example; duh what’s Yemen? :crazy_face: ) and how beholden it is to the elite nations of the world.

That’s a blinkered opinion. I believe that states who embrace isolationism are the bloated bureaucratic monsters in the world. “The EU is collectively the biggest donor for international aid in the world, providing over € 50 billion a year to help overcoming poverty and advance global development. It is committed to implementing the international agreements on aid effectiveness and to being accountable to EU citizens, who make solidarity initiatives possible.”Motherwit:

The EU is a poor example for you to suggest, they’ve deviated far from their original focus on trade and legal labor. They’ve become a bloated bureaucratic monster that has failed miserably in the primary role of a federal govt, to protect it’s members and borders.
What is actually insane is continuing on the present course of relying on “deterrence” and the MAD protocol for our safety. This has been condemned by the Church as a “negative peace” which is not based on Christian values. In my opinion, it is offensive to our Creator and a violation of His teachings to love our neighbor and to return good for evil. I believe that He will create the circumstances that will force us to engage in a global nuclear war just to teach humanity a lesson about the importance of following His laws.tootle_toot:

Um… no. That is definitely much less insane than concentrating all the nukes in one hand. If there were a way to reliably disarm everyone, obviously that would be ideal. But that is not achievable. Hence, the need to rely on MAD.What is actually insane is continuing on the present course of relying on “deterrence” and the MAD protocol for our safety.
