Catholic Church Ignores Book of Revelation?

The argument might rather be, that they are trying to live up to their part in it. The reference is here. The word catholic means "universal" and they are only trying to fill such large shoes as that. Is it really going to far, that the organization proclaiming itself as Heaven's gatekeeper has an idea that there should be a super-national financial regulatory body? National sovereignty? Nuts to your sovereignty, OUR head of State speaks "in the place of the son of God" you small-timers!

The reason why everybody is only reporting "The 18 page document titled ..." is that this document is rather thick reading. Well I skimmed it and some of the reports you heard are true: this is the Vatican's pie-in-the-sky wishing for a one-world government, with a side of slightly more-practical wishing for a one-world financial regulatory and TAXING authority. They just want to offer their helpful suggestions to the upcoming G20 meeting. That it would be great if we gradually made a transition to a world-government model based on truth, justice, and the international-brotherhood-of-man way. Sure, some developed nations will miss out in the short term, but they ought to show solidarity with the third-world for the common good!

This paragraph if no other should be plenty to let you know that the Pope is not going to be requiring the G20 to set up the NWO immediately. The goal is (empahsis is mine):

"A supranational Authority of this kind should ... be set up gradually. It should be favourable to the existence of ... free and stable markets ... well-functioning in support of sustainable development and social progress of all, and inspired by the values of charity and truth. It ... cannot be imposed by force, coercion or violence, but should be the outcome of a free and shared agreement and a reflection of the ... needs of the world common good. It ought to arise from a process of progressive maturation of consciences and freedoms as well as the awareness of growing responsibilities. Consequently, reciprocal trust, autonomy and participation cannot be overlooked ... The consent should involve an ever greater number of countries that adhere with conviction, through a sincere dialogue that values the minority opinions rather than marginalizing them. So the world Authority should consistently involve all peoples in a collaboration in which they are called to contribute, bringing to it the heritage of their virtues and their civilizations."

Charity and truth inspire no national governments and even fewer banks of any sort. To even express a desire for this sort of thing lets you know that a few crayons missing from the box. The only way men will ever get up a real world government is through bloody force, and even then it won't work well (keep reading in Revelation). When Jesus comes back, God himself will rule the world and prove that it can be done. Until then, it must be run by Men.

The problem (for now) is that, like all governments, it must be run by men. As Milton Friedman asked, where do you find such angels to organize our society?
