2-25-20 LifeSite-Vatican Supports Global Warming Agenda
I have been spending the past couple of weeks working on this article. I could have gone into much more detail, but for the sake of the reader, I have tried to keep the article at a reasonable length. I have however linked many articles of the sources that I referenced which I encourage you to look through at your leisure to give you more detail. This article offers my general thoughts of Pope Francis' upcoming Global Compact and the foundational mindset that drives it. I welcome any comments whether they be criticisms, agreements or disagreements!
An Introduction to the New Humanism
On 12 September 2019 Pope Francis gave an alarming address from the Vatican in an effort to promote a “new humanism". The message was delivered in preparation “for the Launch of the Global Compact on Education.” This address came and went very quickly in the Catholic news sources and aside from a few sources such as LifeSite, I did not see very much commentary on the subject. In this article, I would like to point out what has been going on recently and what is to come with this “new humanism.”
The Catholic Encyclopedia offers us a brief definition of humanism, “Humanism is the name given to the intellectual, literary, and scientific movement of the fourteenth to the sixteenth centuries, a movement which aimed at basing every branch of learning on the literature and culture of classical antiquity. Believing that a classical training alone could form a perfect man, the Humanists so called themselves in opposition to the Scholastics, and adopted the term humaniora (the humanities) as signifying the scholarship of the ancients.” Humanism in its first form relies on the classical and scientific education of man as a means to perfection. In this sense, it meant that learning from science and the humanities were more valuable to man than perennial philosophy based on Thomistic realism. Its another way of putting human experience in the form of education above objective realism.
In subsequent years humanism lived on past the sixteenth century and morphed into a more politicized version taking on elements of the French and German Enlightenment. This mentality gives a higher place to science, the social order and intellectual elitism than to theology, metaphysics or even Divine Revelation. More importantly in regard to current humanism, with the rise of scientism, philosophy needed to adapt to the notion of science as an evolving understanding of the human race. The false presumption is that if we come to know more over time with new scientific methods and discoveries, then philosophy must also become based on this evolutionary understanding of man and thus it must also change with the times. This, of course, is a pure fallacy being that even science itself even if it learns more about the world as time progresses presupposes first principles such as the law of contradiction to learn and apply that learning in any meaningful form, and therefore must be rooted in realist philosophy, not a progressivist, evolutionary model.
While Thomism, for example, relies upon universals, first principles of reality, and the mind being measured by reality, modern philosophy emphasizes either human experience or intellectual knowledge which measures all reality. It is a complete reversal in principle. In regard to this new way of thinking, Pope Francis has adapted this “new humanism” to emphasize the evolution of modern man and the insistence that there must be a global focus on the education of children regarding how the human race is to evolve and live together in peace and fraternity in an ever-changing world.
Although man does change in many ways within the natural realm regarding knowledge and technology, man's human nature itself never changes. The environment of man does not change the nature of man. Man can be perfected in the sense of being perfected through God's grace, but again this presupposes that man's nature never changes. Grace builds upon nature, right? The issue with this new humanism is that man becomes the measure rather than the measured. When man becomes the measure of all things, God becomes the measured rather than the measurer. Francis’ “humanism” has taken on an evolving global view of the nature of man, putting man at the center of focus rather than God. Man becomes the only means to a true human fraternity and little to nothing is mentioned of the eternal, as we will see.
Francis’s Message to the World
During Francis’ September 12th address, he says we need, “an educational process aimed at developing a new universal solidarity and a more welcoming society… Never before has there been such need to unite our efforts in a broad educational alliance, to form mature individuals capable of overcoming division and antagonism, and to restore the fabric of relationships for the sake of a more fraternal humanity.” This at first may sound like a noble task for few would opine a more fraternal relationship among humanity. Shouldn't we all just get along? However, when reading through the rest of the document it is clear that Francis adopts a total evolutionary modernist mindset which powers the wheels of his new fraternal humanism and does not really mention God or the unity of the Catholic Church as being instrumental.
In light of this ever-changing world, the Church or God is not mentioned as the solution for humanity's woes, instead, the secular plans of man, human fraternity and even false religions are presented as the solution. Francis wants everyone to walk together each holding on to their own identities no matter how erroneous they may be. In order for this plane to fly, we must subdue God and immanentize the eschaton. The transcendent must be replaced with the efforts of man to create a utopia of his own on earth. Francis writes, “Every change calls for an educational process that involves everyone. There is thus a need to create an “educational village… According to an African proverb, “it takes a whole village to educate a child”. We have to create such a village before we can educate. In the first place, the ground must be cleared of discrimination and fraternity must be allowed to flourish, as I stated in the Document that I signed with the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar on 4 February this year in Abu Dhabi.…” Where have we heard this motto of an “educational village” before? As we know, in the Abu Dabi statement Francis praises religious pluralism, "The pluralism and the diversity of religions, color, sex, race and language are willed by God in his wisdom, through which he created human beings,". There has been much effort to spin this sentence claiming that it is only speaking of God's permissive will. Any honest reading of the context which includes race and sex obviously puts it in the context above God's permissive will. Despite the outrage over this passage, Francis himself has done nothing publicly to correct the sentence.
Continuing, it is important to understand that for Francis, it is man and not God who must be the center of this education compact. He boldly says, “First, we must have the courage to place the human person at the centre.” What else can be the center of a society, its either man or God right? Of course, as Catholics, we never put the emphasis on the human person per se, but only the human person in relation to God, as being created in His image and likeness. The true perfection of man relies not on the efforts of a world fraternity or humanism, it relies on the grace of God and presupposes an end which resides with God alone. Catholicism teaches that the perfection of man lies beyond himself in a transcendent God and that the proper view of the human community lies within the Church. Likewise, human society finds its true fulfillment in Christ alone and is dependant on God alone. Modernism insists that the human person’s experience is what makes God relevant, while traditional Catholic philosophy understands properly that the transcendent God is what makes man relevant! This modernist mentality is critical to understanding this new humanism, and it is at the foundation of this educational project.
Vatican Precursor
This agenda, however, did not just begin this past year. In fact, if we look to the Congregation for Catholic Education we can see they have been developing this for some time under the Francis pontificate. Going back to 2017 they produced a document titled, 'Educating to Fraternal Humanism.' Interestingly enough the phrase "fraternal humanism" is mentioned 24 times in the short document, almost twice as often as the word "church" is used. More significantly is the fact that the name of Jesus Christ is mentioned only twice in the entire document, sandwiched between the endless promotion of fraternal humanism and pluralism.
The document begins with the presupposition, "The contemporary world, multifaceted and ever changing..." Again the false narrative is that if the world is ever-changing so must your philosophy, theology and sociology change with it! One of the reasons stated for this education is for "economic inequality and of the unjust distribution of the goods." Here we see the political element which must also be grafted into the plan which also as we will see tie into his adoption of liberation theology. Education is also proclaimed in the document to be for the common good of society, but what is understood as the common good in the document is not the traditional Catholic definition. The common good of society has as its ultimate end as being for the orientation of society towards its only appropriate end, eternal life with God. Not so in this paradigm for the new fraternal humanism. The end is almost presented as something that is never obtained. It is a message of mankind walking together in dialog in order to overcome economic injustices and the abuse of the environment. While these injustices are something that Catholics should take seriously, it is the means that are erroneous. It's like using a wet noodle to pry open a stuck door or a marshmallow for a hammer.
This document quotes Pope Francis himself to define what this education entails, “Humanizing education” means putting the person at the centre of education, in a framework of relationships that make up a living community, which is interdependent and bound to a common destiny. This is fraternal humanism." What this common destiny entails however seems to be of a worldly nature. While the document does give lip service to the family's role in education, it drops it dead in the center of a cultural free for all where religious and moral plurality is seen as a benefit rather than the danger it presents. "In ethical and religious pluralism, therefore, religions can help coexistence within society, rather than hinder it." Is this not a contradiction? How can religious pluralism in which many religions teach contrary moral and theological doctrines which all perceive man's ultimate end differently help to foster unity or stability within society? The answer, it cannot.
This document also presents a clear objective for education, and it is not ultimately for knowing and loving God or the salvation of souls, instead, "The nature of education lies precisely being able to lay the foundations for peaceful dialogue and allow the encounter between differences with the primary objective of building a better world." Again, we see the idea of building a utopia, for man by man. Not surprisingly, however, as with most modernist documents, there is always the Janus faced duality, the "this and that" style of presentation that offers an appearance of Catholicity. This is intentional and not happenstance or sloppy composition. A careful reading reveals that true Catholic doctrine is not being taught but a modernist version of it which transforms it into something that can be used to justify the means of the humanist model.
The document makes an apparent call to Catholic teleology, "...the education to fraternal humanism must start from the certainty of the message of hope contained in the truth of Jesus Christ. It is up to education, then, to offer this hope to the peoples of the world, as a message conveyed by reason and active life. Globalizing hope is the specific mission of education to fraternal humanism." At face value, this passage of the document could possibly pass as Catholic. Yet just a paragraph or two later the opposite is expressed, offering its true context "To fulfil their purpose, formation programmes geared towards education to fraternal humanism aim at some fundamental objectives. First, the main purpose is to allow every citizen to feel actively involved in building fraternal humanism. The instruments used should encourage pluralism..." You cannot have it both ways. Either Jesus is the objective hope or He is not. Clearly, Pluralism and the teaching of Christ are not and can not be synonymous, nor are their intended ends synonymous. Janus always shows up when a modernist speaks!
How one can put two phrases like this back to back in a document may seem to baffle the minds of thinking men! Rather, however, it shows how deceptive these men truly are. The document was penned in this manner for a reason, again it is not happenstance nor sloppy composition. The document does not view the Catholic Church or Jesus Christ as the ultimate answer for humanity's woes but merely contributes to the world in a collaborative effort to build fraternal humanism, it explicitly says, "Today, as in every age, the Catholic Church still has the responsibility to contribute, with her heritage of truths and values, to building a fraternal humanism for a world ready to accomplish what was foreseen in the encyclical letter Populorum Progressio." To give a soul to our ever-changing global world..." A true Catholic, however, would hail the Church as the one and only Body on earth which possesses the Truth which leads all of humanity in charity for one another and more importantly to our ultimate end, union with God! The errors of false religions and philosophies obviously cannot be positive collaborative contributions in helping build a true human fraternity.
Liberation and Process Theological Underpinnings in Light of the Bologna School
I briefly want to view Pope Francis in light of his theological underpinnings which deserve more attention than I will offer here. First off I will say that it is hard to pin Francis down regarding his philosophical/theological "school" of choice, for I believe it is a mixture of modernist philosophy and various liberation and process theology. He has himself cited several of them as inspirations. It is clear that Francis has adopted a school of philosophy that follows along with the idea of process and evolution, inspired by modern scientism which views everything as a process of becoming. This modernist idea allows him to adopt many facets of liberation and process theology which comes to the forefront most in his preferential option for the poor. There are four liberation theologians of note which seem to accompany Francis in the background of his papacy; the first being Leonardo Boff , the second known as the father of liberation theology, Gustavo Gutiérrez, the third the Argentinian liberation theologian and Francis' teacher Fr.Lucio Gera and finally the Jesuit Juan Carlos Scannone also one of Francis' teachers.
Liberation theology, in a nutshell, seeks to liberate man from oppression in the political, social, economic and environmental realms. There are however several versions of liberation theology, the most well known being based in Marxist philosophy and the other being one steeped in what is known as the 'theology of the people' which focuses on the "marginalized and scorned majority" which became popular in Argentina of which Pope Francis was schooled. Francis largely opposed the Marxist brand due to popular support for Peron who was fighting on the opposite side of the political war in Argentina. The emphasis for the Peron type of liberation theology "of the people" would not be focused so much on class warfare as building up the lowliest poor on the peripheries to change society by an organic movement of the "people." In Francis's eyes then the Church should also be changed by those on the peripheries who experience God in a more dramatic and dynamic manner than the "elitists" who posses wealth whether they be conservative or liberal.
The fact is, liberation theology of either type emphasizes that God is more relevant in a manner that serves these immanent interests of the poor and marginalized rather than man serving God despite whatever economic or social position they find themselves. It is a "from the bottom up" mentality. Although the Marxist version tends to marginalize any notion of a transcendent God more intensely than that of the other version, both have a man-centered focus of overcoming injustices. One emphasizes class warfare to overcome the oppression while the other focuses on the cooperation of all men in a pluralistic sense to overcome this oppression. Both are contrary to any notion of traditional Catholicism.
Process theology emphasizes development, dynamics, evolutionary becoming and historical events over the perennial emphasis concerning substance, being, metaphysics, and cosmology. Again this reverses the order of reality putting God at the service of man rather than man as serving God. This school of theology seems to also pervade the Francis pontificate, though in a more indirect manner in relation to the Bologna school of theology which views Vatican II as a type of break with traditional theological and philosophical schools. Although this distinction seems to grow smaller with Francis as time goes by. Those who follow the Peron inspired "theology of the people" version of liberation theology tend to put an emphasis on the Vatican II document Lumen Gentium. "Lumen Gentium opened the way to creative proposals from Medellin (1968) to Aparecida (2007) and in a special way the poor church (Medellin´s Pobreza de la Iglesia), community and shared pastoral action (Medellin´s Pastoral de Conjunto) and renewal in all of the church.." Read this article for an insight into Latin American Ecclesiology.
Although Francis in Argentina seemed to largely oppose the Marxist ideology which often underpinned liberation theology, it seems that his stance has generally softened in recent years in that he has repeatedly made positive statements regarding the contributions of the theology of Gutiérrez and Boff. It would also seem that Francis had many encounters with the likes of Boff long before he became pope. Pope Francis has corresponded with Boff on more than one occasion and Boff complained to Francis in 2015, "We regret that these conservative groups are only capable of saying No. No to the Eucharist for divorced-and-remarried persons; no to recognizing homosexuals; no to any openness to the world that involves substantial changes.... " Of course we know what the result of Amoris Laetitia certainly is concerning communion for the divorced and remarried and we know what is on the table for the future. We have yet to see the real outcome of the recent scandalous Amazon synod where again religious pluralism was intentionally put on display with Pachamama being placed and worshipped in the Vatican gardens, St. Peter's and the church of Transpontina. This was not an accident, it was orchestrated.
Solidifying my thesis that Francis is an avid follower liberation and process theology in light of the Bologna school of Vatican II is revealed in Pope Francis' Christmas address on 12-21-19 to the curia. It offers us a view of his current philosophical and theological mentality. As I watched the address I took notes and this is the general overview that I gained from it in a word association landscape in regard to what must be accepted: we need theological process, action, dynamics, continuous development, dynamic tradition, support for justice, peace, and protection of creation, not to fear change, that there are no magical formulas, that we need new processes, and finally that rigidity breeds imbalance. Tellingly Pope Francis closed his address quoting the late notorious heretic and St. Gallen mafia leader Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini, "The Church is 200 years behind the times." Now do the math and see how all of this fits into the idea of this new Global Compact.
New "Educators" Will Target the Youth
What is also startling is the fact that the indoctrination of children is of the central focus of this Compact. In order for this project to work, it is important to undermine traditional education systems. These new humanists must infiltrate and replace them on a global scale. This also flies in the face of the Catholic notion of education which resides first in the home and then in the local parish. Read carefully Francis’ words “Another step is to find the courage to capitalize on our best energies, creatively and responsibly. To be proactive and confident in opening education to a long-term vision unfettered by the status quo. This will result in men and women who are open, responsible, prepared to listen, dialogue and reflect with others, and capable of weaving relationships with families, between generations, and with civil society, and thus to create a new humanism.”
Who will these new “educators” be? They will be those who always view activity as the most important means of service, “A further step is the courage to train individuals who are ready to offer themselves in service to the community.” Just as “active participation” in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass has undermined the sacrificial nature of the Mass, this new active educational service will undermine the perennial educational role of the parents and the teaching of the Catholic faith in the local parish church. We will begin to see volunteers being trained in this new humanism and it is my prediction that these trained “educators” will be coming to a Catholic parish or school near you to implement this global educational plan. In fact, they may already be there! Read further to see how far along they are in this process! Do you ever wonder why you see strange teachings at your Catholic school these days?
The goal of this alliance is stated clear, “Educating young people to the fraternity, to learn to overcome divisions and conflicts, promote hospitality, justice and peace: Pope Francis invites everyone who cares about the education of the young generation to sign a Global Pact, to create a global change of mentality through the education.” Although this may sound Masonic, and it does seem to somewhat follow that leitmotif, I believe it is a more of a representation of Francis' multifaceted modernist philosophical, Bologna school driven liberation/process theological infused mind. I would argue that this philosophical/theological cocktail fits very well into the masonic mindset. It is then no surprise that it has been documented that Francis has been praised directly by Masonic organizations at least 60 times since he has been Pope! Whether Francis intends to promote Masonic ideals is not within my grasp to answer. It appears to me that his modernist philosophy and theology play a larger role in his "new humanism" than anything else.
Secular Saviours
Another concern is the very fact that the most sub-defective secular personalities in the world are going to be advising and collaborating with Francis and his cohorts. This, of course, is nothing new since we have seen such men such as Jeffrey Sachs and others invited to the Vatican to be “advisors” for various past events. So I guess it is no surprise that Francis says, “I look forward to meeting in Rome all of you who, in various ways and on every level, work in the field of education and of research. I encourage you to work together to promote, through a global compact on education, those forward-looking initiatives that can give direction to history and change it for the better. I join you in appealing to authoritative public figures in our world who are concerned for the future of our young people, and I trust that they will respond to my invitation.” We can only guess who these public figures will be, but one thing is certain, there is nothing truly Catholic about Francis’ upcoming ‘Global Compact’ meeting in Rome scheduled for the 14th of May, 2020. It is indeed what Francis is claiming it to be, an establishment of global humanism.
Organized Preparation
Have you heard anything being reported of the meetings that have been going on regarding the preparation for this event? Surprisingly the Catholic media has given little attention to these meetings and we have heard little on what has been discussed in them. In case you are wondering, below is a list of past events that you did not hear about regarding this specific Global Compact. Interesting subject matter no?
16 and 17 September 2019 Pontifical Foundation Gravissimum Educationis, "Democracy: an educational urgency in pluricultural and plurireligious contexts"
31 October 2019 Pontifical Lateran University "Education, human rights, and peace. The instruments of international action and the role of religions"
These two meetings are just the beginning of elaborate preparation for this global event to be held in Rome. The list below tells us of the upcoming meetings. Again, be sure to look at the descriptions for each of them as they give you a clue as to where all of this is heading.
14-16 January 2020 Pontifical University Antonianum with the Seraphicum Theological Institute, "Nature and environment in the educational pact: beauty makes the man good".
30-31 January and 1 February 2020 LUMSA Catholic University with Alta Scuola EIS, "Building Communities. The service learning proposal".
3-5 February 2019 Conference on the Abu Dhabi "Document on Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together".
6-7 February 2020 Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences, Workshop on “Education: The global Compact” – Casina Pio IV
22 February 2020 Salesian Pontifical University with Auxilium (Location: Città dei Ragazzi). "We are we share we care. Generations in dialogue for an educational alliance".
24 February 2020 The Pontifical Gregorian University with the Pontifical Institute for Arabic and Islamic Studies (PISAI) "When Religions Contribute to Education for a More Fraternal Humanity"
13 March 2020 Catholic University of the Sacred Heart (in Brescia) Political and pedagogical sciences - "The educational challenges for international cooperation".
24 March 2020 Città dei Ragazzi, "Paths of citizenship. From exclusion to inclusion".
6-7 April 2020 Sophia University Institute (Loppiano - Fi), "Educational inPact. To open paths in a shared present".
22-23 April 2020 Villaggio per la Terra, “There is a world waiting for you” – Villa Borghese
May 2020 Pontifical Foundation "Scholas Occurrentes" World Conference of Scholas Chairs
After carefully going through the entire Global Compact website at https://www.educationglobalcompact.org/ one thing is very clear, this is a well-organized, elaborate program to brainwash humanity, targeted primarily at the youth, on a global scale! This is not something to be taken lightly. There is nothing Catholic about anything that I have read on the website. Nothing is mentioned about the importance of Catholic teaching, nor of Christ or God as playing a pivotal role in this education project. In fact, the entire program is focused on man for the benefit of man alone.
The United Nations as a Model
The United Nations is another tool used today for creating a man-centered humanist religion and it appears that this Global Compact follows it somewhat as a model. Papal involvement with the UN is nothing new. Addresses have been given to the UN by every pope since its inception. In fact, Pope Pius XII called upon the world to develop closer relationships between countries after witnessing two terrible world wars. Founded in 1945 the UN was at first viewed as a viable means of unifying the world to prevent another world war. Pope Pius XII following two world wars may have had an overly optimistic view of the role of the UN, and although some have rightly criticized Pope Pius XII for his enthusiastic support of the UN, he rightfully called on the world and the UN to adopt principles which have been revealed by God stating, "the new order of the world, of national and international life, must rest . . . on the solid rock of natural law and Divine Revelation" How Pope Pius XII thought this would be accomplished is beyond the scope of this article.
Pope Francis however, has taken an altogether different approach. He has been popular among the secular elitists of the left who view the UN as a unifying global superstructure that advances causes such as fighting climate change, promoting open migration, and population control. The UN today has no regard for a transcendent God and the causes it supports today do not weigh in favor of preserving important human rights such as protecting the unborn, nor does the UN prevent human atrocities such as witnessed by those in the Sudan and Rwanda. Last year UN experts stated, "States across the world should act now to decriminalise abortion and make every effort to ensure women and girls have the right to make their own decisions about pregnancy, said a group of United Nations human rights experts." How a pope could support such an organization is beyond belief. But, notice how Pope Francis uses similar wording to that used by powerful UN public figures. For example, Ban ki-moon upon becoming Secretary-General of the United Nations in 2012 said, “My tenure will be marked by ceaseless efforts to build bridges and close divides,” As we know, Pope Francis can't talk enough about building bridges! Bridges to where we might ask!
Francis has also stated that Catholics are bound to obey the UN and other international organizations as if they are upstanding moral bodies that can effectively govern the human race. A governing body of men however with no reference to God or the divine order is in no position to govern effectively as it denies the necessary teleology to guide it. It can also be argued that this idea of a global governing body flies in the face of Catholic subsidiarity. Francis on his plane flight from Madagascar to Rome this year said, "I would like to repeat the doctrine of the Church, that international organizations, when we understand we give them the ability to judge internationally. We think for example to the international court of AJA, and many times also the United Nations, when they speak. If we are a humanity we should obey. It is true that things do not always seem right for all humanity, they are right for our pockets, but you should obey international institutions, the United Nations was created for this." The Catholic Church, however, has never taught that Catholics are bound to obey these international organizations nor that they have the ability to judge morality internationally.
Further, it must be noted that no government is brought into power as a result of the sole will of the people, which is now the very foundation the UN is built upon. Whatever noble intentions the UN began with such as avoiding another world war, they have been thrown to the wind long ago. Man now thinks he can by his own will govern the world with no ascent given to the one true God to whom all humanity and political power are dependent. The idea of today's UN is dangerous by the very reasons given by Pope Leo XIII who wrote in his encyclical Diuturnum, "...there arose in the last century a false philosophy - a new right as it is called, and a popular authority, together with an unbridled license which many regard as the only true liberty. Hence we have reached the limit of horrors, to wit, communism, socialism, nihilism, hideous deformities of the civil society of men and almost its ruin. And yet too many attempt to enlarge the scope of these evils, and under the pretext of helping the multitude.." So too the UN falls into this category using unbridled license to make it appear as if its goal is to help the multitude yet adopting a disastrous social ideology that separates man from God. The Global Compact for Education follows the UN model in a frighteningly similar fashion.
The War is Global and Immanent
A war of tremendous proportion is upon us on a global scale. Our youth are being targeted for a final assault which will tear down any notion of a transcendent God who established His one and only Church here on earth for the salvation of souls. Instead, a world fraternity will replace the One True God and religion will be not be viewed any longer as anything regarding the transcendent, but only a religion that caters to an ever-evolving humanity that can only view religion as a service to human utility, ie global humanism. God will only exist to serve man in his effort to rise above various oppressions found in the natural realm. Francis' Global Compact is a well-organized attempt to immanentize the eschaton.
You may ask, “How far are we down this path to the “new humanism”? We are further down the road than you think! In fact, there have been many other meetings at the Vatican before this event was announced which have been underpinning what is to come. Look at the focus of the past synods and educational meetings at the Vatican. Look at who was involved and what has been emphasized. We have been lulled to sleep by a progressive undermining of the supernatural, replaced by the natural. Why is this story not being reported folks? Where are the bishops and Cardinals on this? Why the silence and not a resounding alarm concerning these diabolical global machinations?
Read below, we are well underway.
“The path is begun. Many schools, catholic universities and not, are already deepening the anthropological, communicative, cultural, economic, generational, interreligious, pedagogic and social dimension of this Global Pact.
On 14th May 2020, Pope Francis has invited to the Vatican the proponents of the main religions, the spokespeople of international organizations and various humanitarian institutions, of the academic, economic, political and cultural world. Together, representing the inhabitants of the Earth, they will sign the «Global Compact on Education», a global educational pact, which each one will undertake to implement in their area and disseminate as much as possible.
The Holy Father has instructed the Congregation for Catholic Education to appeal to those who care about the education of the young generations, to involve them in the pact.
The Congregation is the Ministry of the Holy See to which refer 216 thousand Catholic schools, attended by over 60 million pupils and 1,750 Catholic universities, with over 11 million students.”

2-25-20 LifeSite-Vatican Supports Global Warming Agenda
I have been spending the past couple of weeks working on this article. I could have gone into much more detail, but for the sake of the reader, I have tried to keep the article at a reasonable length. I have however linked many articles of the sources that I referenced which I encourage you to look through at your leisure to give you more detail. This article offers my general thoughts of Pope Francis' upcoming Global Compact and the foundational mindset that drives it. I welcome any comments whether they be criticisms, agreements or disagreements!
An Introduction to the New Humanism
On 12 September 2019 Pope Francis gave an alarming address from the Vatican in an effort to promote a “new humanism". The message was delivered in preparation “for the Launch of the Global Compact on Education.” This address came and went very quickly in the Catholic news sources and aside from a few sources such as LifeSite, I did not see very much commentary on the subject. In this article, I would like to point out what has been going on recently and what is to come with this “new humanism.”
The Catholic Encyclopedia offers us a brief definition of humanism, “Humanism is the name given to the intellectual, literary, and scientific movement of the fourteenth to the sixteenth centuries, a movement which aimed at basing every branch of learning on the literature and culture of classical antiquity. Believing that a classical training alone could form a perfect man, the Humanists so called themselves in opposition to the Scholastics, and adopted the term humaniora (the humanities) as signifying the scholarship of the ancients.” Humanism in its first form relies on the classical and scientific education of man as a means to perfection. In this sense, it meant that learning from science and the humanities were more valuable to man than perennial philosophy based on Thomistic realism. Its another way of putting human experience in the form of education above objective realism.
In subsequent years humanism lived on past the sixteenth century and morphed into a more politicized version taking on elements of the French and German Enlightenment. This mentality gives a higher place to science, the social order and intellectual elitism than to theology, metaphysics or even Divine Revelation. More importantly in regard to current humanism, with the rise of scientism, philosophy needed to adapt to the notion of science as an evolving understanding of the human race. The false presumption is that if we come to know more over time with new scientific methods and discoveries, then philosophy must also become based on this evolutionary understanding of man and thus it must also change with the times. This, of course, is a pure fallacy being that even science itself even if it learns more about the world as time progresses presupposes first principles such as the law of contradiction to learn and apply that learning in any meaningful form, and therefore must be rooted in realist philosophy, not a progressivist, evolutionary model.
While Thomism, for example, relies upon universals, first principles of reality, and the mind being measured by reality, modern philosophy emphasizes either human experience or intellectual knowledge which measures all reality. It is a complete reversal in principle. In regard to this new way of thinking, Pope Francis has adapted this “new humanism” to emphasize the evolution of modern man and the insistence that there must be a global focus on the education of children regarding how the human race is to evolve and live together in peace and fraternity in an ever-changing world.
Although man does change in many ways within the natural realm regarding knowledge and technology, man's human nature itself never changes. The environment of man does not change the nature of man. Man can be perfected in the sense of being perfected through God's grace, but again this presupposes that man's nature never changes. Grace builds upon nature, right? The issue with this new humanism is that man becomes the measure rather than the measured. When man becomes the measure of all things, God becomes the measured rather than the measurer. Francis’ “humanism” has taken on an evolving global view of the nature of man, putting man at the center of focus rather than God. Man becomes the only means to a true human fraternity and little to nothing is mentioned of the eternal, as we will see.
Francis’s Message to the World
During Francis’ September 12th address, he says we need, “an educational process aimed at developing a new universal solidarity and a more welcoming society… Never before has there been such need to unite our efforts in a broad educational alliance, to form mature individuals capable of overcoming division and antagonism, and to restore the fabric of relationships for the sake of a more fraternal humanity.” This at first may sound like a noble task for few would opine a more fraternal relationship among humanity. Shouldn't we all just get along? However, when reading through the rest of the document it is clear that Francis adopts a total evolutionary modernist mindset which powers the wheels of his new fraternal humanism and does not really mention God or the unity of the Catholic Church as being instrumental.
In light of this ever-changing world, the Church or God is not mentioned as the solution for humanity's woes, instead, the secular plans of man, human fraternity and even false religions are presented as the solution. Francis wants everyone to walk together each holding on to their own identities no matter how erroneous they may be. In order for this plane to fly, we must subdue God and immanentize the eschaton. The transcendent must be replaced with the efforts of man to create a utopia of his own on earth. Francis writes, “Every change calls for an educational process that involves everyone. There is thus a need to create an “educational village… According to an African proverb, “it takes a whole village to educate a child”. We have to create such a village before we can educate. In the first place, the ground must be cleared of discrimination and fraternity must be allowed to flourish, as I stated in the Document that I signed with the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar on 4 February this year in Abu Dhabi.…” Where have we heard this motto of an “educational village” before? As we know, in the Abu Dabi statement Francis praises religious pluralism, "The pluralism and the diversity of religions, color, sex, race and language are willed by God in his wisdom, through which he created human beings,". There has been much effort to spin this sentence claiming that it is only speaking of God's permissive will. Any honest reading of the context which includes race and sex obviously puts it in the context above God's permissive will. Despite the outrage over this passage, Francis himself has done nothing publicly to correct the sentence.
Continuing, it is important to understand that for Francis, it is man and not God who must be the center of this education compact. He boldly says, “First, we must have the courage to place the human person at the centre.” What else can be the center of a society, its either man or God right? Of course, as Catholics, we never put the emphasis on the human person per se, but only the human person in relation to God, as being created in His image and likeness. The true perfection of man relies not on the efforts of a world fraternity or humanism, it relies on the grace of God and presupposes an end which resides with God alone. Catholicism teaches that the perfection of man lies beyond himself in a transcendent God and that the proper view of the human community lies within the Church. Likewise, human society finds its true fulfillment in Christ alone and is dependant on God alone. Modernism insists that the human person’s experience is what makes God relevant, while traditional Catholic philosophy understands properly that the transcendent God is what makes man relevant! This modernist mentality is critical to understanding this new humanism, and it is at the foundation of this educational project.

Vatican Precursor
This agenda, however, did not just begin this past year. In fact, if we look to the Congregation for Catholic Education we can see they have been developing this for some time under the Francis pontificate. Going back to 2017 they produced a document titled, 'Educating to Fraternal Humanism.' Interestingly enough the phrase "fraternal humanism" is mentioned 24 times in the short document, almost twice as often as the word "church" is used. More significantly is the fact that the name of Jesus Christ is mentioned only twice in the entire document, sandwiched between the endless promotion of fraternal humanism and pluralism.
The document begins with the presupposition, "The contemporary world, multifaceted and ever changing..." Again the false narrative is that if the world is ever-changing so must your philosophy, theology and sociology change with it! One of the reasons stated for this education is for "economic inequality and of the unjust distribution of the goods." Here we see the political element which must also be grafted into the plan which also as we will see tie into his adoption of liberation theology. Education is also proclaimed in the document to be for the common good of society, but what is understood as the common good in the document is not the traditional Catholic definition. The common good of society has as its ultimate end as being for the orientation of society towards its only appropriate end, eternal life with God. Not so in this paradigm for the new fraternal humanism. The end is almost presented as something that is never obtained. It is a message of mankind walking together in dialog in order to overcome economic injustices and the abuse of the environment. While these injustices are something that Catholics should take seriously, it is the means that are erroneous. It's like using a wet noodle to pry open a stuck door or a marshmallow for a hammer.
This document quotes Pope Francis himself to define what this education entails, “Humanizing education” means putting the person at the centre of education, in a framework of relationships that make up a living community, which is interdependent and bound to a common destiny. This is fraternal humanism." What this common destiny entails however seems to be of a worldly nature. While the document does give lip service to the family's role in education, it drops it dead in the center of a cultural free for all where religious and moral plurality is seen as a benefit rather than the danger it presents. "In ethical and religious pluralism, therefore, religions can help coexistence within society, rather than hinder it." Is this not a contradiction? How can religious pluralism in which many religions teach contrary moral and theological doctrines which all perceive man's ultimate end differently help to foster unity or stability within society? The answer, it cannot.
This document also presents a clear objective for education, and it is not ultimately for knowing and loving God or the salvation of souls, instead, "The nature of education lies precisely being able to lay the foundations for peaceful dialogue and allow the encounter between differences with the primary objective of building a better world." Again, we see the idea of building a utopia, for man by man. Not surprisingly, however, as with most modernist documents, there is always the Janus faced duality, the "this and that" style of presentation that offers an appearance of Catholicity. This is intentional and not happenstance or sloppy composition. A careful reading reveals that true Catholic doctrine is not being taught but a modernist version of it which transforms it into something that can be used to justify the means of the humanist model.
The document makes an apparent call to Catholic teleology, "...the education to fraternal humanism must start from the certainty of the message of hope contained in the truth of Jesus Christ. It is up to education, then, to offer this hope to the peoples of the world, as a message conveyed by reason and active life. Globalizing hope is the specific mission of education to fraternal humanism." At face value, this passage of the document could possibly pass as Catholic. Yet just a paragraph or two later the opposite is expressed, offering its true context "To fulfil their purpose, formation programmes geared towards education to fraternal humanism aim at some fundamental objectives. First, the main purpose is to allow every citizen to feel actively involved in building fraternal humanism. The instruments used should encourage pluralism..." You cannot have it both ways. Either Jesus is the objective hope or He is not. Clearly, Pluralism and the teaching of Christ are not and can not be synonymous, nor are their intended ends synonymous. Janus always shows up when a modernist speaks!
How one can put two phrases like this back to back in a document may seem to baffle the minds of thinking men! Rather, however, it shows how deceptive these men truly are. The document was penned in this manner for a reason, again it is not happenstance nor sloppy composition. The document does not view the Catholic Church or Jesus Christ as the ultimate answer for humanity's woes but merely contributes to the world in a collaborative effort to build fraternal humanism, it explicitly says, "Today, as in every age, the Catholic Church still has the responsibility to contribute, with her heritage of truths and values, to building a fraternal humanism for a world ready to accomplish what was foreseen in the encyclical letter Populorum Progressio." To give a soul to our ever-changing global world..." A true Catholic, however, would hail the Church as the one and only Body on earth which possesses the Truth which leads all of humanity in charity for one another and more importantly to our ultimate end, union with God! The errors of false religions and philosophies obviously cannot be positive collaborative contributions in helping build a true human fraternity.
Liberation and Process Theological Underpinnings in Light of the Bologna School
I briefly want to view Pope Francis in light of his theological underpinnings which deserve more attention than I will offer here. First off I will say that it is hard to pin Francis down regarding his philosophical/theological "school" of choice, for I believe it is a mixture of modernist philosophy and various liberation and process theology. He has himself cited several of them as inspirations. It is clear that Francis has adopted a school of philosophy that follows along with the idea of process and evolution, inspired by modern scientism which views everything as a process of becoming. This modernist idea allows him to adopt many facets of liberation and process theology which comes to the forefront most in his preferential option for the poor. There are four liberation theologians of note which seem to accompany Francis in the background of his papacy; the first being Leonardo Boff , the second known as the father of liberation theology, Gustavo Gutiérrez, the third the Argentinian liberation theologian and Francis' teacher Fr.Lucio Gera and finally the Jesuit Juan Carlos Scannone also one of Francis' teachers.
Liberation theology, in a nutshell, seeks to liberate man from oppression in the political, social, economic and environmental realms. There are however several versions of liberation theology, the most well known being based in Marxist philosophy and the other being one steeped in what is known as the 'theology of the people' which focuses on the "marginalized and scorned majority" which became popular in Argentina of which Pope Francis was schooled. Francis largely opposed the Marxist brand due to popular support for Peron who was fighting on the opposite side of the political war in Argentina. The emphasis for the Peron type of liberation theology "of the people" would not be focused so much on class warfare as building up the lowliest poor on the peripheries to change society by an organic movement of the "people." In Francis's eyes then the Church should also be changed by those on the peripheries who experience God in a more dramatic and dynamic manner than the "elitists" who posses wealth whether they be conservative or liberal.
The fact is, liberation theology of either type emphasizes that God is more relevant in a manner that serves these immanent interests of the poor and marginalized rather than man serving God despite whatever economic or social position they find themselves. It is a "from the bottom up" mentality. Although the Marxist version tends to marginalize any notion of a transcendent God more intensely than that of the other version, both have a man-centered focus of overcoming injustices. One emphasizes class warfare to overcome the oppression while the other focuses on the cooperation of all men in a pluralistic sense to overcome this oppression. Both are contrary to any notion of traditional Catholicism.
Process theology emphasizes development, dynamics, evolutionary becoming and historical events over the perennial emphasis concerning substance, being, metaphysics, and cosmology. Again this reverses the order of reality putting God at the service of man rather than man as serving God. This school of theology seems to also pervade the Francis pontificate, though in a more indirect manner in relation to the Bologna school of theology which views Vatican II as a type of break with traditional theological and philosophical schools. Although this distinction seems to grow smaller with Francis as time goes by. Those who follow the Peron inspired "theology of the people" version of liberation theology tend to put an emphasis on the Vatican II document Lumen Gentium. "Lumen Gentium opened the way to creative proposals from Medellin (1968) to Aparecida (2007) and in a special way the poor church (Medellin´s Pobreza de la Iglesia), community and shared pastoral action (Medellin´s Pastoral de Conjunto) and renewal in all of the church.." Read this article for an insight into Latin American Ecclesiology.
Although Francis in Argentina seemed to largely oppose the Marxist ideology which often underpinned liberation theology, it seems that his stance has generally softened in recent years in that he has repeatedly made positive statements regarding the contributions of the theology of Gutiérrez and Boff. It would also seem that Francis had many encounters with the likes of Boff long before he became pope. Pope Francis has corresponded with Boff on more than one occasion and Boff complained to Francis in 2015, "We regret that these conservative groups are only capable of saying No. No to the Eucharist for divorced-and-remarried persons; no to recognizing homosexuals; no to any openness to the world that involves substantial changes.... " Of course we know what the result of Amoris Laetitia certainly is concerning communion for the divorced and remarried and we know what is on the table for the future. We have yet to see the real outcome of the recent scandalous Amazon synod where again religious pluralism was intentionally put on display with Pachamama being placed and worshipped in the Vatican gardens, St. Peter's and the church of Transpontina. This was not an accident, it was orchestrated.
Solidifying my thesis that Francis is an avid follower liberation and process theology in light of the Bologna school of Vatican II is revealed in Pope Francis' Christmas address on 12-21-19 to the curia. It offers us a view of his current philosophical and theological mentality. As I watched the address I took notes and this is the general overview that I gained from it in a word association landscape in regard to what must be accepted: we need theological process, action, dynamics, continuous development, dynamic tradition, support for justice, peace, and protection of creation, not to fear change, that there are no magical formulas, that we need new processes, and finally that rigidity breeds imbalance. Tellingly Pope Francis closed his address quoting the late notorious heretic and St. Gallen mafia leader Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini, "The Church is 200 years behind the times." Now do the math and see how all of this fits into the idea of this new Global Compact.
New "Educators" Will Target the Youth
What is also startling is the fact that the indoctrination of children is of the central focus of this Compact. In order for this project to work, it is important to undermine traditional education systems. These new humanists must infiltrate and replace them on a global scale. This also flies in the face of the Catholic notion of education which resides first in the home and then in the local parish. Read carefully Francis’ words “Another step is to find the courage to capitalize on our best energies, creatively and responsibly. To be proactive and confident in opening education to a long-term vision unfettered by the status quo. This will result in men and women who are open, responsible, prepared to listen, dialogue and reflect with others, and capable of weaving relationships with families, between generations, and with civil society, and thus to create a new humanism.”
Who will these new “educators” be? They will be those who always view activity as the most important means of service, “A further step is the courage to train individuals who are ready to offer themselves in service to the community.” Just as “active participation” in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass has undermined the sacrificial nature of the Mass, this new active educational service will undermine the perennial educational role of the parents and the teaching of the Catholic faith in the local parish church. We will begin to see volunteers being trained in this new humanism and it is my prediction that these trained “educators” will be coming to a Catholic parish or school near you to implement this global educational plan. In fact, they may already be there! Read further to see how far along they are in this process! Do you ever wonder why you see strange teachings at your Catholic school these days?
The goal of this alliance is stated clear, “Educating young people to the fraternity, to learn to overcome divisions and conflicts, promote hospitality, justice and peace: Pope Francis invites everyone who cares about the education of the young generation to sign a Global Pact, to create a global change of mentality through the education.” Although this may sound Masonic, and it does seem to somewhat follow that leitmotif, I believe it is a more of a representation of Francis' multifaceted modernist philosophical, Bologna school driven liberation/process theological infused mind. I would argue that this philosophical/theological cocktail fits very well into the masonic mindset. It is then no surprise that it has been documented that Francis has been praised directly by Masonic organizations at least 60 times since he has been Pope! Whether Francis intends to promote Masonic ideals is not within my grasp to answer. It appears to me that his modernist philosophy and theology play a larger role in his "new humanism" than anything else.

Secular Saviours
Another concern is the very fact that the most sub-defective secular personalities in the world are going to be advising and collaborating with Francis and his cohorts. This, of course, is nothing new since we have seen such men such as Jeffrey Sachs and others invited to the Vatican to be “advisors” for various past events. So I guess it is no surprise that Francis says, “I look forward to meeting in Rome all of you who, in various ways and on every level, work in the field of education and of research. I encourage you to work together to promote, through a global compact on education, those forward-looking initiatives that can give direction to history and change it for the better. I join you in appealing to authoritative public figures in our world who are concerned for the future of our young people, and I trust that they will respond to my invitation.” We can only guess who these public figures will be, but one thing is certain, there is nothing truly Catholic about Francis’ upcoming ‘Global Compact’ meeting in Rome scheduled for the 14th of May, 2020. It is indeed what Francis is claiming it to be, an establishment of global humanism.
Organized Preparation
Have you heard anything being reported of the meetings that have been going on regarding the preparation for this event? Surprisingly the Catholic media has given little attention to these meetings and we have heard little on what has been discussed in them. In case you are wondering, below is a list of past events that you did not hear about regarding this specific Global Compact. Interesting subject matter no?
16 and 17 September 2019 Pontifical Foundation Gravissimum Educationis, "Democracy: an educational urgency in pluricultural and plurireligious contexts"
31 October 2019 Pontifical Lateran University "Education, human rights, and peace. The instruments of international action and the role of religions"
These two meetings are just the beginning of elaborate preparation for this global event to be held in Rome. The list below tells us of the upcoming meetings. Again, be sure to look at the descriptions for each of them as they give you a clue as to where all of this is heading.
14-16 January 2020 Pontifical University Antonianum with the Seraphicum Theological Institute, "Nature and environment in the educational pact: beauty makes the man good".
30-31 January and 1 February 2020 LUMSA Catholic University with Alta Scuola EIS, "Building Communities. The service learning proposal".
3-5 February 2019 Conference on the Abu Dhabi "Document on Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together".
6-7 February 2020 Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences, Workshop on “Education: The global Compact” – Casina Pio IV
22 February 2020 Salesian Pontifical University with Auxilium (Location: Città dei Ragazzi). "We are we share we care. Generations in dialogue for an educational alliance".
24 February 2020 The Pontifical Gregorian University with the Pontifical Institute for Arabic and Islamic Studies (PISAI) "When Religions Contribute to Education for a More Fraternal Humanity"
13 March 2020 Catholic University of the Sacred Heart (in Brescia) Political and pedagogical sciences - "The educational challenges for international cooperation".
24 March 2020 Città dei Ragazzi, "Paths of citizenship. From exclusion to inclusion".
6-7 April 2020 Sophia University Institute (Loppiano - Fi), "Educational inPact. To open paths in a shared present".
22-23 April 2020 Villaggio per la Terra, “There is a world waiting for you” – Villa Borghese
May 2020 Pontifical Foundation "Scholas Occurrentes" World Conference of Scholas Chairs
After carefully going through the entire Global Compact website at https://www.educationglobalcompact.org/ one thing is very clear, this is a well-organized, elaborate program to brainwash humanity, targeted primarily at the youth, on a global scale! This is not something to be taken lightly. There is nothing Catholic about anything that I have read on the website. Nothing is mentioned about the importance of Catholic teaching, nor of Christ or God as playing a pivotal role in this education project. In fact, the entire program is focused on man for the benefit of man alone.

The United Nations as a Model
The United Nations is another tool used today for creating a man-centered humanist religion and it appears that this Global Compact follows it somewhat as a model. Papal involvement with the UN is nothing new. Addresses have been given to the UN by every pope since its inception. In fact, Pope Pius XII called upon the world to develop closer relationships between countries after witnessing two terrible world wars. Founded in 1945 the UN was at first viewed as a viable means of unifying the world to prevent another world war. Pope Pius XII following two world wars may have had an overly optimistic view of the role of the UN, and although some have rightly criticized Pope Pius XII for his enthusiastic support of the UN, he rightfully called on the world and the UN to adopt principles which have been revealed by God stating, "the new order of the world, of national and international life, must rest . . . on the solid rock of natural law and Divine Revelation" How Pope Pius XII thought this would be accomplished is beyond the scope of this article.
Pope Francis however, has taken an altogether different approach. He has been popular among the secular elitists of the left who view the UN as a unifying global superstructure that advances causes such as fighting climate change, promoting open migration, and population control. The UN today has no regard for a transcendent God and the causes it supports today do not weigh in favor of preserving important human rights such as protecting the unborn, nor does the UN prevent human atrocities such as witnessed by those in the Sudan and Rwanda. Last year UN experts stated, "States across the world should act now to decriminalise abortion and make every effort to ensure women and girls have the right to make their own decisions about pregnancy, said a group of United Nations human rights experts." How a pope could support such an organization is beyond belief. But, notice how Pope Francis uses similar wording to that used by powerful UN public figures. For example, Ban ki-moon upon becoming Secretary-General of the United Nations in 2012 said, “My tenure will be marked by ceaseless efforts to build bridges and close divides,” As we know, Pope Francis can't talk enough about building bridges! Bridges to where we might ask!
Francis has also stated that Catholics are bound to obey the UN and other international organizations as if they are upstanding moral bodies that can effectively govern the human race. A governing body of men however with no reference to God or the divine order is in no position to govern effectively as it denies the necessary teleology to guide it. It can also be argued that this idea of a global governing body flies in the face of Catholic subsidiarity. Francis on his plane flight from Madagascar to Rome this year said, "I would like to repeat the doctrine of the Church, that international organizations, when we understand we give them the ability to judge internationally. We think for example to the international court of AJA, and many times also the United Nations, when they speak. If we are a humanity we should obey. It is true that things do not always seem right for all humanity, they are right for our pockets, but you should obey international institutions, the United Nations was created for this." The Catholic Church, however, has never taught that Catholics are bound to obey these international organizations nor that they have the ability to judge morality internationally.
Further, it must be noted that no government is brought into power as a result of the sole will of the people, which is now the very foundation the UN is built upon. Whatever noble intentions the UN began with such as avoiding another world war, they have been thrown to the wind long ago. Man now thinks he can by his own will govern the world with no ascent given to the one true God to whom all humanity and political power are dependent. The idea of today's UN is dangerous by the very reasons given by Pope Leo XIII who wrote in his encyclical Diuturnum, "...there arose in the last century a false philosophy - a new right as it is called, and a popular authority, together with an unbridled license which many regard as the only true liberty. Hence we have reached the limit of horrors, to wit, communism, socialism, nihilism, hideous deformities of the civil society of men and almost its ruin. And yet too many attempt to enlarge the scope of these evils, and under the pretext of helping the multitude.." So too the UN falls into this category using unbridled license to make it appear as if its goal is to help the multitude yet adopting a disastrous social ideology that separates man from God. The Global Compact for Education follows the UN model in a frighteningly similar fashion.
The War is Global and Immanent
A war of tremendous proportion is upon us on a global scale. Our youth are being targeted for a final assault which will tear down any notion of a transcendent God who established His one and only Church here on earth for the salvation of souls. Instead, a world fraternity will replace the One True God and religion will be not be viewed any longer as anything regarding the transcendent, but only a religion that caters to an ever-evolving humanity that can only view religion as a service to human utility, ie global humanism. God will only exist to serve man in his effort to rise above various oppressions found in the natural realm. Francis' Global Compact is a well-organized attempt to immanentize the eschaton.
You may ask, “How far are we down this path to the “new humanism”? We are further down the road than you think! In fact, there have been many other meetings at the Vatican before this event was announced which have been underpinning what is to come. Look at the focus of the past synods and educational meetings at the Vatican. Look at who was involved and what has been emphasized. We have been lulled to sleep by a progressive undermining of the supernatural, replaced by the natural. Why is this story not being reported folks? Where are the bishops and Cardinals on this? Why the silence and not a resounding alarm concerning these diabolical global machinations?
Read below, we are well underway.
“The path is begun. Many schools, catholic universities and not, are already deepening the anthropological, communicative, cultural, economic, generational, interreligious, pedagogic and social dimension of this Global Pact.
On 14th May 2020, Pope Francis has invited to the Vatican the proponents of the main religions, the spokespeople of international organizations and various humanitarian institutions, of the academic, economic, political and cultural world. Together, representing the inhabitants of the Earth, they will sign the «Global Compact on Education», a global educational pact, which each one will undertake to implement in their area and disseminate as much as possible.
The Holy Father has instructed the Congregation for Catholic Education to appeal to those who care about the education of the young generations, to involve them in the pact.
The Congregation is the Ministry of the Holy See to which refer 216 thousand Catholic schools, attended by over 60 million pupils and 1,750 Catholic universities, with over 11 million students.”
