As has been reported in the Catholic
press, Pope Francis is calling upon the leaders of world religions and
globalist agencies, as well as leaders in the world of politics, economics,
science and education to be at the Vatican on May 14, 2020, for the signing of a
Global Education
Pact aimed at bringing about a “new
humanism.”
In a
videotaped message on September 12, 2019, in which the pope first announced his
initiative, he said: "A global educational pact is needed to educate us in
universal solidarity and a new humanism."
God
“Withdraws” so we can be “Free”
In an interview with LifeSiteNews Vatican correspondent Diane Montagna, Zani made reference
to “God who gives man strength, liberty, and life but leaves him free. It is an encounter of
freedom.”
He said that the teaching on Creation – which he says is not exclusively a Christian one – places
the focus on man. “It’s the centrality of the person. God creates but then withdraws. He leaves
man, saying, ‘Go!”’
Montagna interjected: “Pardon me, but is this really the Christian idea of man’s creation? As
Christians we do not believe in a God who leaves us alone. We believe in His supernatural action
in the world.”
Zani responded, “Yes, but in the moment when God creates man, he gives him intelligence,
heart, and the capacity for activity, and he tells him: ‘Go!’”
That glaringly contrasts Christ's appeal to "Come, follow me." The idea that "God withdraws" to allow for the possibility of human freedom is purely a Masonic
idea. It implies that if God doesn't withdraw we are not free. It implies that our freedom consists
in being away from God. It advocates the Masonic freedoms.
Our Freedom is in God
The Church teaches that God is the
source of our freedom, outside of which there is no human freedom. Our freedom is in Christ, which is why He is
called Savior, since He saves or liberates us from the slavery of sin. This He
does, not by withdrawing from us, but by moving closer to us. The closer he
moves the freer we are, provided we let him rule us. (Psalm 22)
It's like a fish in a bowl. The more
surrounded it is with water, the freer it is. And if we are surrounded with an
infinite ocean of crystal blue majesty wherein we breath and have our life, we
are truly free, but if that ocean casts us onto the shore and recedes from us,
we are left to die, with no freedom, no happiness, no life.
Now atheists, modernists, and
Freemasons see God as a “boogie-man,” and accordingly, they see His
Commandments as oppressive rules that we need to be "liberated" from.
Their idea of freedom is to escape God and live in their own hellish zone.
Accordingly, they maintain that
there is no eternal damnation after death. [Ring any bells?] It calls to mind an
often-expressed line of the Freemasons that “hell is nothing more than being
away from God and what's so bad about that!”
Now these snakes of the modernist school
infiltrated the Second Vatican Council and they managed to gain considerable
control of the conciliar drafting commissions, whereby the conciliar documents often
reflect this idea that personal liberty takes precedence over God.
The Vatican II document on religious
liberty, Dignitatis Humanae, is particularly pronounced in this, since
it advocates the selfish rights of man, as if modern man is now a little god
who can think for himself without a divine chaperone. Consider
the opening paragraph:
A sense of the dignity of the human person has been impressing
itself more and more deeply on the consciousness of contemporary man, and the
demand is increasingly made that men should act on their own judgment. [1]
Again, we read:
God has regard for the dignity of the human person whom He
Himself created and man is to be guided by his own judgment and he is to enjoy
freedom. [11]
Hence,
what we’re really seeing with Pope Francis’ “new humanism” is the plan of
Vatican II coming to a head.
Unfortunately,
secular humanism is condemned by the Church, since it attaches prime importance
to human rather than divine or supernatural matters. Humanist beliefs stress
the potential value and goodness of man and seek solely rational ways of
solving human problems without divine guidance and help. Humanism seeks
unity with man, not unity with God.
The
Global Education Pact seeks to indoctrinate man with this secular humanism
aimed strengthening his allegiance to the planet. The pope says an alliance is
required "between the earth's inhabitants and our 'common home,' which we
are bound to care for and respect.”
What
about our alliance with God? Has Francis considered the admonition of the Apostle James, who says that “the friendship of
this world is the enemy of God” and that “Whosoever therefore will be a friend
of this world, becometh an enemy of God?” (James 4:4)
Hypocritical
Concerned Catholics have cited the hypocrisy of the pope’s
education pact, arguing that it makes no reference to the prerogative of
parents to be the primary educators of their children. At a time when the
educational system has become nothing more than a political forum to pollute
the minds of the young, the pope has a duty to exhort parents to assume the
responsibility in educating their children themselves, i.e. to homeschool them.
Why is Francis colluding with
globalists?
