No Doubt About It: Pope Francis Is a Faithful Globalist

Share

Pope Francis is either confused or a calculating leftist ideologue. If that sounds mean, it’s not meant to be. There’s just no other conclusion to be drawn.

As the Synod on Synodality — a rough beast that has slouched to Rome to be born — was about to begin this week, Francis strategically published an encyclical, Laudate Deum, an official papal document, which in this case is wholly political and has very little — if anything — to do with Christian faith. That’s the world we live in.

Don’t let the Catholic jargon or Latin language trip you up. The letter has nothing to do with Catholic tradition. Laudate Deum translates into “Praise God,” but the encyclical has precious little to say about God. It is so in-your-face globalist that, according to First Things, “it could have been drafted by any intelligent non-believer working for a secular NGO.” You don’t need to be a Christian to get the Pope’s globalist message: Only the elite can save us now.
