Hidden behind the Pope’s plea for charity and peace among nations is a globalist agenda that sounds just like the dreams of world leaders past and present.

Massimo Faggioli speaks of all this in an article in La Croix, April 29, 2020.

The COVID-19 pandemic will have an impact on the world order and international relations, and of course also on the Catholic Church. The papacy stands out as a global reference point. That's partly because most world leaders have lost credibility.

Can’t trust world leaders? Trust the Pope.

But it's also because Pope Francis, from the very beginning of his pontificate, has continually articulated the vision of the one human family in this one world: a world made of borders that can become thresholds for new human relations.

The very definition of globalism.

Papal teaching in recent years has paved the way for a "global peace process" …. [they] could not be more visibly different from the policies of the strongmen that currently lead governments in places like the United States, Russia, India, Turkey and Brazil.

Rome vs the world. When all else fails, come home to us.

And how do you like that, Americans? Trump was a “strongman” like the ones in Communist countries and under dictatorships.

After the pandemic, there will be

a new world order with quite different consequences in different countries. In Italy it meant the rise of Fascist rule between 1922-1925 and for two decades until the end of World War II.

He fails to mention Rome’s silent compliance with the dictatorships of those years, and must be blind to compare them with America today, as he will strive to do….

We can already see that the global health crisis has confirmed Pope Francis' interpretation of our times as a disruption of globalization.

What? We were on our way to a world government when COVID-19 slowed down our plans? Then thank God for COVID-19!
