VATICAN CITY (ChurchMilitant.com) – Pope Francis calls for a ‘new world order’ in which ‘the salvation of mankind’ can be achieved by ‘creating a new model of development that undoubtedly focuses on the coexistence of people in harmony with creation ‘.
The pope’s latest interview with Italian journalist Domenico Agasso, titled Dio e il Mondo che Verrà (God and the world to come), proposes a radical ecological and social justice agenda in the “rebuilding from the rubble” of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We can cure injustice by building a new world order based on solidarity, and studying innovative methods to eradicate bullying, poverty and corruption … without delegating the money,” Francis said in the book on Tuesday. bookstores are issued.
The pope reiterates his theme of fraternity, calling for an end to the manufacture and trade in arms “spending large amounts of capital to be used to treat people and save lives”, and calls for universal health care for all.
By upholding the vision of mankind before the fall, Francis remarks that God will take man and place him in the Garden of Eden ‘so that he may cultivate it’, but sidestep the story of the original sin and make a jump to Jesus’ command to love your neighbor as yourself. ‘
A biblical scholar in Rome warned Church Militant that the pope was on very slippery ground, practically engaging in a language hijacking of Christian soteriology and eschatology by erasing the scandal of the Cross and the Pelagian national anthem of ‘ Glory to Man ‘te sing. in the Highest. ‘”
“The undermining of language is not accidental, but central to Francis’ quasi-Marxist discourse. Francis takes salvation, the most important term in the Christian vocabulary, and empties it of its biblical content and fills it with the new wine of a humanistic salvation that is Christless, Churchless, wicked, senseless and hopeless, ”complains the academic.
“The title of the book is clever double-talk,” he continues. Francis is not engaged in classical Christian eschatology and does not speak of the future world in terms of ‘Heaven’ or the ‘new heaven and new earth’ as in the book of Revelation. He speaks of the ‘new world’ of the quasi Marxist utopianism. ‘
The scholar explains:
Francis introduces a new soteriology and a new eschatology. Why else take a term that is important to the gospels and preaching of Jesus – the Kingdom of God – and replace it with the impoverished vocabulary of a new world order – a term that not only stinks of the messianic megalomania of politicians like George Bush and Tony not? Blair, but are there also the fingerprints of Freemasonry?
“I remember the words of the theologian H. Richard Niebuhr who condemned the false gospel of ‘God without wrath who brought people without sin into a kingdom without judgment through the ministries of a Christ without a cross’. , “the Bible scholar learned. add.
The undermining of language is not accidental, but central to Francis’ quasi-Marxist discourse.
“If it is not a ‘false gospel’ that faithful Catholics should declare as ‘anathema’, reflecting the words of St. Paul to the Galatians, I do not know what a false gospel is,” the academic urges .
In the interview, Francis does use the word “salvation” in a more Catholic sense of the word, but only to make a feminist point: “Salvation was born of the Virgin Mary. Therefore, there can be no salvation without woman. If we cherish the future, if we want a prosperous tomorrow, we must give women the right space. ‘
In the book, Francis engages in semi-apocalyptic rhetoric, noting that “the world will never be the same again” and the “pandemic” is an alarm signal that compels humanity to reflect and put an end to a short-sighted nationalism. , protectionist propaganda, isolation and other forms of political selfishness. ‘
The pope repeats his buzzword of a ‘common home’ and praises the popular movements to treat the earth ‘no more as a warehouse of resources to be exploited, but as a sacred garden to be loved and respected by sustainable behavior. ‘
Francis introduces a new soteriology and a new eschatology.
The climate alarmist pope claims that if ‘we do not roll up our sleeves and immediately look after the earth, with radical personal and political choices, with an economic’ green ‘turn by sooner or later technological developments in this direction our common home we will thrown out the window. We can not waste any more time. ‘
Francis returns to his leitmotif of eradicating economic inequality by “leading a stricter existence that would allow a fair distribution of resources.”
In a November interview with the Italian eco-magazine E-Habitat, Agasso describes Pope Francis as “an ecologist in preaching and in practice” who holds an “integral ecology”, and not just “simple gestures of independent care for creation ‘, but an appeal to’ intimacy with nature ‘and’ to involve every aspect of life in its ecological reflection. ‘
The pope ‘revealed to me how shocked he was about Overshoot Day, the date, ever closer, in which the earth consumed all its available resources for that year,’ says Agasso.
“In the same way, I’ve seen him worry a lot about the fires in California, Australia and Siberia, which have linked it to the ongoing climate crisis. Or, again, I remember how many fishermen’s stories about the enormous amount of plastic in the sea impressed him, ‘recalls the author of the new book.
