Background and History
Where did human rights come from?
Human rights have been around in some form or another for a long while, but during the French Revolution, a specific human rights declaration was drawn up consisting of 17 rights all declaring the right of liberty, property, security, and resistance to oppression.
In 1948, 13 more rights were added, and the entire list was re-worked so that there are now 30 human rights in the UN Declaration of Human Rights. The UN calls upon all countries to publicize the text of the Declaration and to “cause it to be disseminated, displayed, read, and expounded principally in schools and other educational institutions, without distinction based on the political status of countries or territories.”
There was much more about the French Revolution than just human rights. It was an all-out war against the God of heaven, the dethroning of God, replacing Him with the sovereignty of another universal god. During the French Revolution, Bibles were burned.
In 2005, Condoleeza Rice, then Secretary of State extolled the Bush Administration for continuing “the work of the 18th century French Revolution” (The New American, March 7, 2005). Considering that the French Revolution consisted of debasing debauchery and outright rebellion against God, such a comment from Rice is more shameful than praiseworthy.
During that awful period of earth’s history, God’s reality was replaced with a different reality. And that is exactly what is happening today. It is doubtful if anything coming from the French Revolution could be a real key to peace and security on this earth, as the Pope would like us to believe.
Who does the Pope really think he is?
In 1455, Pope Nicholas V [pictured above] published the Decretal De Translat. Espiscop. Cap. where he said about himself:
“I have the authority of the King of Kings. I am all in all and above all. Wherefore if the things that I do be said not to be done of man, but of God, what can you make me but God? … Wherefore, no marvel if it be in my power to change time and times: to alter and abrogate laws, to dispense with all things, yea, with the precepts of Christ… The Pope has the power to change times, to abrogate laws, and to dispense with all things, even the precepts of Christ. He can pronounce sentences and judgments in contradiction to the rights of nations, to the law of God and man… He can free himself from the commands of the apostles, he being their superior, and from the rules of the Old Testament.”
Sounds a lot like 2 Thessalonians 2:4 where the man of sin “opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God…” What is the connection between this arrogant attitude and the Pope’s interest in human rights? We all know from history how little respect the Roman Catholic Church had for human rights.
Has the Roman system changed?
The Economic Thought of the Roman Catholic Church …..
Common Property – Fascism
Thomas Aquinas is a Catholic philosopher and theologian who is considered by the Roman Catholic Church to be its greatest theologian and a doctor of the Church. His thinking is apparently “foundational for understanding the economic thought of the Roman Church-State.”
Aquinas believes in the socialist idea of communal possessions. He wrote in Summa Theologiae ii-ii 5th article, “the possession of all things in common is a natural law…‘the possession of all things in common and universal freedom’ is said to be of the natural law because, to wit, the distinction of possessions and slavery were not brought in by nature, but devised by human reason for the benefit of human life.”
“The community of goods,” wrote Thomas, “is ascribed to the natural law, not that the natural law dictates that all things should be possessed in common and that nothing should be possessed as one’s own, but because the division of possessions is not according to the natural law, but rather arose from the human agreement, …the ownership of possessions is not contrary to the natural law, but an addition thereto devised by human reason…Hence, whatever certain people have in superabundance is due, by natural law, to the purpose of succouring the poor” (2nd and 7th articles).
So, as Rome sees it, property is for common good. You may own it, but it is for common good. Whatever you have that is more than you need will be given to others. Does this mean in practical terms that if you own anything, you will be taxed to death so that the state may collect revenues to support those who have not?
It may also mean, as has happened in South Africa, that if your house is vacant, squatters may come in to occupy your home, and nothing is done to remove them, while you continue to pay the bills. Make no mistake, such things have happened. It is labelled Eminent Domain – and if your property could be better used, as deemed by the state, it will be expropriated and given over to the one who needs it the most.
Pius XI tells us this in his 1931 encyclical Quadragesimo Anno:
Under fascism, property owners may keep their property titles and deeds, but the use of their property is, as Leo XIII wrote, “common”. Fascism is a form of socialism that retains the forms and trappings of capitalism, but not its substance. Under fascism, property titles and deeds are intact, but the institution of private property has disappeared. Government regulations and mandates have replaced it. For this distinction between legal ownership and actual use, the fascists owe a debt to the Roman Church–State.
In Australia today property title deeds are no longer in the possession of the property owner – but have been digitalised and placed on a Government database. Why would that be?
Redistribution of Wealth
John Paul II wrote this in Sollicitudo Rei Socialis (On Social Concern) in 1987:
…the goods of this world are originally meant for all. The right to private property is valid and necessary, but it does not nullify the value of this principle. Private property, in fact, is under a ‘social mortgage’, which means that it has an intrinsically social function, based upon and justified precisely by the principle of the universal destination of goods.
In the same document, Pope John Paul also wrote that in today’s world “we are faced with a serious problem of unequal distribution of the means of subsistence originally meant for everybody” (emphasis added)
It sounds like the economic theory being espoused here is the redistribution of wealth.
That is, in fact, exactly what it is. But it gets worse.
Because the goods of some are due to others according to natural law, it is not considered sinful for the poor to take the goods of their neighbours. Thomas continues in his Summa Theologiae ii-ii, 7th article,
“In cases of need, all things are common property so that there would seem to be no sin in taking another’s property, for need has made it common.” Not only is such taking of another’s property is not a sin, it is not even a crime, according to Thomas:
…it is lawful for a man to succour his own need by means of another’s property by taking it either openly or secretly; nor is this, properly speaking, theft and robbery… It is not theft, properly speaking, to take secretly and use another’s property in a case of extreme need; because that which he takes for the support of his life becomes his own property by reason of that need…In a case of a like need, a man may also take secretly another’s property in order to succour his neighbour in need (7th article).
According to this statement, your neighbour determines the need. And, according to Thomas Aquinas’ article, it is even lawful for you to steal for your neighbour’s need!
Roman Catholic economic thought, as developed by the popes in their encyclicals and by Roman Church-State councils, has contributed to these political viewpoints:
Feudalism and guild socialism in Europe during the Middle Ages and in the 20th century:
Fascism in Italy, Spain, Portugal, Croatia, and Latin America
Nazism in Germany
Interventionism and the redistributive state in the West, including the United States
Liberation theology in Latin America and Africa
The 36th US President Lyndon Johnson had this Marxist principle as his creed during his “Great Society” initiative: “We shall take from the haves and give to the have-nots, who need it so much.”
The same attitude appears in the literature of fascism, Nazism, liberation theology, interventionism, and socialism.
Let us now look at two papal encyclicals that are particularly relevant to today’s political and economic issues:
Pope Leo’s Rerum Novarum (1891) and Pope Paul VI’s Populorum Progressio (1967):
Rerum Novarum
Those familiar with Rerum Novarum, will know that it is one of the Roman Church–State’s most influential statements on economic matters, in which Rome lays down for all humankind “unerring rules for the right solution of the difficult problem of human solidarity.”
Pius XI mentions in his encyclical Quadragesimo Anno (1931) that Rerum Novarum was instrumental in ending laissez-faire capitalism in the twentieth century by ushering in the era of “effective interference” by the government. “Rerum Novarum…was the voice of moral authority needed to ensure the development of effective interference by all governments in the twentieth century.”
Let’s clarify what he is saying. It was because of Rerum Novarum that governments began to change in the 20th century. So much for arguments that we rest our ideas of Roman Catholicism on out-dated 19th-century quotations. The attitudes displayed in these very quotations have been shaping our world today. See for yourself in this next quote from 1931:
”Under the guidance and in light of Leo’s encyclical was thus evolved a truly Christian social science, which continues to be fostered and enriched daily by the tireless labours of those picked men whom we have named the auxiliaries of the Church…The doctrine of Rerum Novarum began little by little to penetrate among those who, being outside Catholic unity, do not recognize the authority of the Church; and these Catholic principles of sociology gradually became part of the intellectual heritage of the whole human race…Thus too, we rejoice that the Catholic truths proclaimed so vigorously by our illustrious Predecessor [Leo XIII in 1891’s Rerum Novarum], are advanced and advocated not merely in non-Catholic books and journals, but frequently also in legislative assemblies and in courts of justice” (emphasis added).
Remember this quote as we study what is currently happening in the world. Here is proof that Roman Catholic policies, principles, and doctrine have penetrated secular venues to such an extent that individuals who otherwise have no allegiance to or connection with the Roman Catholic Church are promoting its agenda.
How many of those individuals don’t even know that they have been influenced to believe and think as someone else would have them believe and think? And how was this accomplished? The Roman Church-State tells us: “by the tireless labours of those picked men” who are “auxiliaries of the Church.”
These picked men, auxiliaries of the Church, can be none other than the Jesuits. They have sworn allegiance to the Pope, swearing to take any guise, even that of the Protestant, in order to achieve the Roman Catholic Church’s aims.
As we rapidly approach the prophesied Time of Jacob’s Trouble bear always in mind that the coming Fascist government under anti-Christ and his false religious leader it will be the edicts of Rome that will prevail and govern – there will be no privacy in your personal life, your economic activity, or the ownership of any assets…..as Klaus Scwab of the unelected World Economic Forum states so boldly – “You will own nothing, but you will be happy”.
Warn your friends and family now before it is too late, while the doors to the last ark remain open?
“None of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand”. [Daniel 12;10]
