Pope Francis

“The national State can’t be considered as an absolute, as an island in regard to the surrounding context.”

• Pope Francis, May 2, 2019

In spite of the many, clear statements from various popes over the years, the general public still seems to be unaware of the clear and present danger the Vatican poses to the existence of free and independent nation states.

The current occupant of the office of Antichrist, Jorge Bergoglio, dba Francis I, recently expressed his hatred of nation states by attacking “sovereignism” and populism.  According to the Pope, “sovereignism“ is defined as isolationism which he ties to Hitler and those who speak of “Us first. We… we…”

While the Pope’s language is general, it’s hard not to see it as aimed especially at Donald Trump and his campaign slogan of “America first.”  But the Pope’s attempt to tie Trump to Nazism is clearly seen as a fraud if one understands what “America first” means.  “America first” was a slogan of those in the 1930’s who wished to keep America out of foreign wars, the exact opposite of Hitler who was seeking Lebensraum for his people via military conquest of foreign nations.

Had Hitler been an “isolationist” as the Pope would have you believe, millions of people would not have lost their lives in WWII.

Earlier this year, Francis I showed his globalist colors when he said,

“The national State can’t be considered as an absolute, as an island in regard to the surrounding context.  In the present situation of globalization, not only of the economy but also of technological and cultural exchanges, the national State is no longer able to procure on its own the common good to its populations. The common good has become global and the nations must associate themselves to it for their own benefit.  When a super-national common good is clearly identified, there must be an opposite legal authority legally and agreed in its constitution, capable of facilitating its execution. Let us think of the great contemporary challenges of climate change, of the new slaveries and of peace.”

The popes have always hated independent nation states and the Protestant Westphalian World Order (WWO) it represents.  The WWO was brought about when the Protestant armies of allied Europe defeated the Roman Catholic forces in the Thirty Years’ War, which was settled by the Treaty of Westphalia in 1648.

Regarding the Pontiff’s dim view of populism, this also is unsurprising.  While populism comes in many flavors, the general idea is that of “the people” in opposition to “the elite” ruling class.  As such, while populism is not a coherent political philosophy, admitting as it does of so many varieties, and is not consistent with the Scriptures, it does at least get one thing right: it acknowledges the rights of the governed against the elites who would “lord it over them” as Jesus said of the rulers of the Gentiles.

Considering the Roman Church-State is a top-down, absolute monarchy, it should come as no surprise that the Pope is opposed to populism or any philosophy that calls into question the right of rulers to do as they please without messy and inconvenient checks on their power such as civil rights and property rights.

When Pope Francis rails against nationalism and populism, he exposes his true lying globalist colors.  Donald Trump and others who seek to preserve their nations’ freedom are not Hitler, but the exact opposite.  Regarding the populists for whom the Pope shows such contempt, he hates them not for their vices, but for their virtues, by which they seek to give common people a voice in government, a state of affairs that Antichrist would never countenance.
