Here are just a few excerpts that will give you a clear picture of what the elites' vision is:<br /><br />"In the last century, Europe bore witness to humanity that a new beginning was indeed possible."<br /><br />-The overarching theme of the Pope's speech was newness, regeneration, rebirth, and change. These words pop up throughout. His vision is totally unmoored from the lessons of history and blindly optimistic about a utopia we have never achieved but somehow will (despite the overwhelming evidence of history that all utopian visions lead only to abuse of power, war, death, and destruction).<br /><br />"There is an impression that Europe...is more concerned with preserving and dominating spaces than with generating processes of inclusion and change. There is an impression that Europe is tending to become increasingly entrenched, rather than open to initiating new social processes capable of engaging all individuals and groups in the search for new and productive solutions to current problems. Europe, rather than protecting spaces, is called to be a mother who generates processes."<br /><br />-It's disturbing how much emphasis is placed on "processes" and how little emphasis is placed on individual liberty and dignity. Also, "dominating spaces" seems to be his pejorative term for "protecting property rights." Par for the course for a radically Marxist Pope.<br /><br />"Not only did [the Founding Fathers of Europe] boldly conceive the idea of Europe, but they dared to change radically the models that had led only to violence and destruction."<br /><br />-Really?? Because it seems to me like the EU just took the existing model of centralization and magnified it tenfold. They didn't conceive of anything. Nothing new under the sun.<br /><br />"World peace cannot be safeguarded without making creative efforts proportionate to the dangers threatening it."<br /><br />-A familiar scare tactic that existential "global" issues require a globally united front to address them.<br /><br />"The founding fathers were heralds of peace and prophets of the future."<br /><br />-Notice the inclusion of religious language subtly confusing the elites' agenda of central planning to Christian duty and morality.<br /><br />"As Alcide De Gasperi stated, all are called to embark fearlessly on a 'construction project that demands our full quota of patience and our ongoing cooperation'".<br /><br />-In other words: rich people, prepare to become poor and enslaved so that we can all be poor and enslaved together.<br /><br />"The whole is greater than the part, but it is also greater than the sum of the parts, and this requires that we work to broaden our horizons and see the greater good which will benefit us all."<br /><br />-Individuals no longer matter. It is the Cause that matters. The end justifies the means. Who else used that argument? Hitler, Stalin, Mao...I could go on.<br /><br />"The just distribution of the fruits of the earth and human labour is not mere philanthropy. It is a moral obligation."<br /><br />-Apparently you are no longer a Christian unless you are a Marxist.<br /><br />"Only a Church rich in witnesses will be able to bring back the pure water of the Gospel to the roots of Europe. In this enterprise, the path of Christians towards full unity is a great sign of the times and a response to the Lord’s prayer 'that they may all be one' (Jn 17:21)."<br /><br />-Further blurring the lines between Christianity and Marxism, between our religious convictions and political duties, between the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Man.<br /><br />"I dream of a new European humanism, one that involves 'a constant work of humanization' and calls for a sound and humane utopian vision'".<br /><br />-That about says it all. <br /><br />C.
